Out here in the Pacific Northwest, where the rain turns every jobsite into a mud pit, I just wrapped up a custom cabinet install using Festool Domino connectors and the client was over the moon. Took me 12 hours over two days, and they paid the full $3200 quote without batting an eye. I've been at this carpentry game for 15 years, and man, it's rare to have everything click like that, no callbacks or tweaks needed. Saw a similar setup in a thread on r/woodworking last week, but they had issues with alignment, not me. If you're building face-frame cabinets, definitely invest in the Domino system, it's a game changer for precision in damp conditions. Guy in the Carpenters of America Facebook group was raving about it too.

watch out for those dominos chipping in damp pnw jobsites, had one split on me last winter and the whole cabinet assembly went to hell before i could even glue it up.
