Without having to cut the pattern out, I used push pins into the 1/2”  mdf template material and connected the dots.

Very clever!

Coop, you're using 4 Dominoes for each joint.  Does that make for a stronger joint than 2 larger Dominoes? 

I would argue yes, as there would be more glue surface with four than two larger Domino's

Looks great Coop! Nice repair as well! I look forward to seeing how you do the tiles. I was reading the article last night in FWW and I am not yet understanding why some tiles are connected with domino's.

Thanks! The tile pattern is a running bond and to off set the lines, there is a 1/2 tile attached to a full tile via domino. These 1 1/2 tiles alternate front to back on every other row.

Coop I assume the jig is so you can cut the domino's without holding the small parts? Also based on this you will use approx a full 6.5" x 8' x 4/4 board for the tiles?

Good one on the spray booth.  I have taped a "tent" of insulating foam board together as a temporary booth in the past.  I recall a Fine Woodworking article where a guy used a shower curtain sort of set up.  If it works, it works ;).  The color and material look really great.  I am really enjoying this ride-a-long.
