A dovetail alignment jig is used to transfer tails to pins in hand-cut dovetails. The same jig can be used to make dominoed drawers. Here are the basic steps:
1 – Secure mating boards to jig (for 6mm dominoes, set depth to 28mm for 3/4” stock)—pretend no mortises in the image
2 – Plunge to mortise in tight setting
3 – Remove side; reset depth to 20mm and mortise face board (endgrain) again
4 – Dry fit
5 – Glue, clamp and check for square
6 – Six new jigs (bases) are ready. Fences will be added.

Chuck,
Never thought of exposed dominos cool idea. Now Festool will have to sell dominos in walnut, bloodwood etc.!
I am not sure how your jig works. A video would be very helpful.
good idea and thanks for posting

Thanks.
Sipo tenons work for lighter wood. Some make their own tenons.
