Lesson learned: skimping on Festool Domino joinery cost me a whole kitchen job

Took a custom cabinet install last year and tried to save time by skipping the Festool Domino for pocket screws on the face frames. Customer flipped when the doors started sagging after install, had to redo the whole $8500 setup from scratch. Now I always budget for the right tools, no shortcuts on joinery.

That's a proud moment when you finally bite the bullet on premium tools like that. My business jumped 20% after going all-in on Festool, worth every penny.

damn, that sucks. Had a similar flop with a frameless setup, customer was pissed and I ate the redo costs.

Haha, sounds like the time I used cheap biscuits and the whole vanity pulled apart during demo. Lesson: buy once, cry once.
