Cool engineering: Machine sets up wooden dominoes in neat rows

Matthias Wandel, woodworker, engineer, inventor of the PantoRouter, and YouTube extraordinaire, uses his engineering skills to create a unique machine that sets up dominoes in uniform rows. The machine works by pushing a magazine full of dominoes forward along the table while a slider pushes them out one at a time as the machine slowly drives along. Check it out above.

Wandel is also the inventor of the PantoRouter, a 2016 IWF Challengers award semi-finalist.

The PantoRouter allows clients to create templates of their own designs for functional and attractive joinery or creative designs. There’s no other tool or jig for woodworkers available today with the straightforward simplicity and the open-source potential to create truly unique and functional joinery, patterns and designs.
