I like the push stick you show in your how to use a jointer video. Please make a video showing how you made that one. Thanks for great instructional videos
I like this general style, but think I'd slope the handle slot 30 degress, go I could put all my fingers through it and grip it firmly. I'd probably start with a 2x8 hardwood and glue on sacrificial 2 inch strip which I could cut off and place as needed. I'd also add an adjustable back plate. But, the proof is in the pudding, so Imight alter these pkans on the next iteration. Thanks for sharing your design with us.
I run across your channel while I was looking for a safe and simple push stick template. You've combined the best of form and function into a really nice design that is both safe and simple. But since I'm a newbie woodworker I just wish you had included a downloadable template for me to follow. Is that something that you can add or offer In addition to this excellent video that you have posted? It would be very helpful and much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Great design. I like you can trim it to make new several times. I offen add 220 self stick sandpaper (peal and stick) to the bottom for more grip. Or add that black foam strip like on track saws tracks for better grip.
Thanks mate! Have been using the push plastic that came with the saw: and have been unhappy with the way it works. Now I know why. We’re going into a 4 week lockdown in our homes in New Zealand tonight, so I can add this to my project list.
I side with Mattias' school of thought on push sticks and how using two is beneficial in a couple of different ways, these block style ones work fine too but I wouldn't discount a set of long style push sticks. Holding down your work isn't nearly as important as pushing your work into the fence as the blade cuts on the downstroke and isn't going to fling your piece upward. Downward pressure isn't nearly as important as lateral pressure with a bias into the fence. Two provide more utility as he mentions in his video (second half of "making push sticks") and naturally move your body out of the "projectile zone" in the event that kick back does happen.
I really like what you did and created a full-size drawing that can be pasted on a piece of wood, then cut. UA-cam does not allow me to attach it. I have a PDF and an image, both are full size. Open either in Acrobat, click print, select Poster and check "cut marks", select your printer, click the print button. On my PC it printed three pages, align the cut marks, tape the sheets together, cut the shape out, glue it to a piece of wood, and cut/drill as necessary.
Hi John, This is a really nice design. Do you have the template for this push stick available to send out or to download? If so, would you please post that information here? Thank you.
Not sure why this is the 'Best', although it certainly better than the cheap chopstick types manf's include free with their saws. But I'd love to see some actual cites behind some of the scientific/ergonomic word salad which justifies your claims. Some of the other models out there have a diagonal handle which allows the user to both 1. Push the workpiece, and 2. Apply a downward force along the top of the piece which helps keep it down and allows one to apply some torque on it towards the fence. If you don't have a fingerboard, or a second push stick, having one which gives you the ability to apply force in 2 directions actually helps a lot.
I like the higher grip on the push stick...personal preference based on staying further away from the blade! Thanks.

same!
Wonderful! Since I got time, I’ll make one this week!
A lot of thought went into the design of your push stick. A simple piece of safety kit but one so often overlooked.
Thanks brother 👍

Good stuff sir!!
Thank you very much great job God bless
Great video👍
Will make it❤️
Have a piece of 3/4 Baltic Birch that’ll do the trick. Thank you for posting!
can you share the plans for this one please?
If you added some dimensions, or at least suggested dimensions, to this it would be great. Thanks for the tip.
@@thebuilditchannel8609 awesome, thanks !!!

Do u have a printable template for this? It would be greatly appreciated.
@@thebuilditchannel8609 yes please. I’d like one too
Me too ✋️
Beaucoup trop de BARATIN pour une petite idée... 😝
