Visited a custom cabinet shop in Portland and noticed their domino joiners were getting way more use than clamps
The head builder there told me they cut their assembly time by about 40% after switching to dominos for face frames, has anyone else seen that big of a difference with newer joinery methods?

Man I'd still find a way to mess it up, probably domino the wrong face frame piece together lol.

Did you try dry fitting all the pieces with tape before committing to dominoes?

I once tried that tape trick on a bookshelf project and spent an hour lining everything up perfectly (mesh tape is the worst for sticking to your fingers). @brown.gavin would probably agree that no amount of prep saves you from drilling a domino slot in the wrong side of a board. Ended up with a shelf that looks level from three feet away but wobbles if you breathe on it wrong.
