Hi Kenny, great design, I think I'll make one soon 😊 ; and at 8:46: you sure are right 💪🏻💪🏻. have fun, Michael
They really are great push sticks Michael. I have several of these and use them all the time. Thanks for tuning in.
Great design
Glad that you like it Vincent. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave the kind words.
Kenny thank you for your slow way to talk. I could understand with my level of.english. Thanks from Argentina
You are very welcome Hector. I am glad to hear that you like the show. Thank you for tuning in.
Your video is one of the best out of approx. 1000 that I have watched. With respect I don't trust glue for the "heel" and would make the body to include the heel, especially with good plywood [Baltic birch, at least3/4" wide] Please continue to make videos!
If the body and heel in one solid piece is what suits you, then by all means, that is what you should do. Part of being safe is FEELING safe and if you have confidence in your safety equipment, it goes a long way to being safer while working on the tools. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
Kenny, I have a push stick very similar to that one and find it a great design. A couple of modifications I have made to mine as it has evolved is to glue a piece of sandpaper to the bottom for additional grip. Another thing is to drill a hole in the side and epoxy in a neodymium magnet. That way if the push stick isn’t sitting on top of the saw it is stuck to the case near the power switch. Great idea for the show this week. Can’t have too much in the safety department. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea on the sandpaper and the magnet Paul. I will definitely be adding the magnet to my push stick. Do you every find that the sandpaper scratches your stock? Thanks for tuning in and for the modification suggestions on the push stick design. It's appreciated.
Never had a problem with scratches. I use about a 150 - 180 grit could probably get by with 220 grit. Enough to help it grab is enough.
Great to know. Thanks for the reply and the suggestion. Awesome stuff.
Made one in 30 minutes, it looks awesome! Thanks for the design and tutorial!
You're very welcome. I'm glad that you like it. Thanks for tuning in.
Well great build got this again looks coooool give it a whirl ya make it easy keep them coming
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your build.
I like that idea, it gives a better hand hold then many of the commercial ones. Made one out of a 3/8 scrap piece of plywood sheeting just to see how it feels. Great Tip Sir!
Glad that you liked it Tim. Thanks for tuning in and taking the time to leave the comment. I truly appreciate it.
From This Floridian, in The Great Lakes State who is A LOVER OF FREEDOM TO DESIDE FOR MYSELF !!! if i want to buy a push stick or make one that has character. one from a ole peice of scrap lumber , repurposed to a hand saw push stick!!! Heck yeah, making 2, my neighbor will love this as well. You da man!!! Keep your wood... well hard. Viva FREEDOM!!!
Glad that you liked the push stick Charles. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your project.
thank you so much . you must be telepathic ,i am about to make a p. stick for a friend . 18 months ago he nearly cut 3 fingers off his hand ,he is now just getting back into woodwork,i know he will rely like this one. it will help him get his confi dence back .i hope it saves other people out there. take care , lignator jack.
Glad that you liked the project. Good luck on your build. I know your friend will love it. Thanks for tuning in.
Great video Kenny, thanks for sharing it.
You're very welcome Bill. Thanks for tuning in
Good job on the push stick Kenny thank you for sharing with us, looking forward to next week show.
Glad that you liked it Raymond. Thank you for tuning in sir.
Brilliant ! Enjoyed your presentation and design so much I went and made one like yours.
Thanks Kenny.
Glad to hear that you made your own push stick Samy. I'm also glad that you enjoyed the show. How did you push stick turn out? Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave me a comment. I appreciate it very much.
Thank for sharing. Nice camera work, see all what's happening. Must get scroll saw soon.
Thanks for the kind words on the show. I'm glad that you liked it. Thank you for tuning in.
I really like this push stick. Looks like it would really help to keep your hands protected. I still have a ten fingers and really want to keep it that way!!
I've made many of these Mark. They definitely keep your hands away from the blade. Eventually they just get chewed up and need to be replaces but better to chew up a wooden push stick than to chew up your fingers. LOL. Good luck with your build and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Very nice. Enjoyed your presentation and design so much I went and made one like yours.
Thanks Kenny.
Great to hear it John. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Super idea!
Glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Great tip! I've tried several designs and settled on a "shoe" type shape-it's what works for me and I feel comfortable with it. I also use a replaceable block or catch on the bottom. I keep a few different sizes on the table saw-most are made from 3/4" scrap plywood. One of them is cut from a piece made from laminated plywood.
I was going to suggest the jointer tip but you already covered that in your video.
It's important to have a push stick that is comfortable to use. If it is uncomfortable, you won't use it. Glad to hear that you are using push sticks and not risking an injury. Thanks for tuning in.
Very nice job! Thank you
You're very welcome Serafin. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Nicely done, doing this asap.
Glad that you liked it Réjean. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in to the show.
Nice version of the good ol' push stick Kenny and of course for those people who don't have a scroll saw, a jigsaw can also cut out your template.
Barry (ENG)
Good point Barry. There are more than one method to make this push stick. Thanks for pointing out the jig saw and for tuning in.
Very cool idea 👍🏼good job
Glad you liked it. Thanks for tuning in Tomas.
Love it , thanks
Glad that you like it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I love it
Thanks
Glad to hear it. Thanks for tuning in.
Kenny thank you so much I made a push stick and glad I did because a peice of stock had slipped and got my stick and not my finger and up to this time of video I barely ever used a push stick thanks again because I had already lost part of a finger
Glad to hear that you are now using push sticks Charles. Keep those digits where they belong. On your hands. Thanks for tuning in.
Thank you very much.......exactly what I wanted. !!!!!!!
Glad that you found the show useful. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I like it! Thanks.
Thanks Barb. I'm glad that you like the project. Thanks for tuning in this week. Great to hear from you.
Got a new table saw, need a new push stick. Think I'll try this one.
I hope that you like it once you make it Paul. I find these to be very comfortable. Thanks for tuning in. Good luck on your project.
Brilliant !
Thanks for the kind word. Glad that you liked the project. Thanks for tuning in.
thanks for sharing the video
You're very welcome Jim. I hope you enjoyed it. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
The drugs from te 60's are coming back to haunt me... At one stage the template looked like batman😂. Good push stuck I always thought a saw or fun would be the optimum handle lol
LOL. This is the best comment of the day for sure. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave your comment. I truly appreciate it.
I seen that too
@@Buckshot864 LOL
@@acutabove_woodworkings definitely making some of these. Classic design that highlights our trade
Thanks
You're very welcome. I hope you liked it. Thanks for tuning in .
You got me on the end lmao..damn.
You are dead eye right though, you can buy, find, even cut down wood.
New finger nope
Good vid...man that handle on a mug would make a ....yeah
Peace.
Thanks for the kind words on the show Dale. Great to hear from you. Thanks for tuning in.
Nice! Wish I had a scroll saw. Guess I'll have to use a router pattern bit.
coping saw will work just as well
As fiberinspector pointed out, there are many methods to cut this. Coping saw. Jig Saw. Scroll saw. Key hole saw. Don't miss out on a great push stick because you don't have one of the tools involved. Your idea of a router template would also work beautifully and would be a much faster method of making several of them in a short period of time. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave a comment.
Thanks for chiming in with your suggestion. It's a great one. Thank you also for tuning in to the show.
My word you are fast on that scrollsaw !
The magic of film editing Ricky. I'm not that fast. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show and taking the time to leave a comment. It's appreciated.
Always enjoy your vids Kenny, especially the scroll saw help, keep well Kenny, Yours Ricky
@@RICKYDENNIS49 Glad to hear you enjoy the show. Feel free to ask any questions you may have along the way. I'd be more than happy to help if I can.
kennyearrings1 , Thanks Kenny. You are very good at presenting the task at hand Kenny. You speak a tool language that would be understandable to anyone. Give yourself on thick mate. Keep up the good work eh
I’m a 61 year old tool addict. My hobbies are what keeps me happy. I have a feeling you love the tool world yourself.
great job....I will make one.....wished I used something like this before I lost the tips of my fingers...……. I never could understand how someone could get his fingers mixed up with a spinning shaper cutter . it was doing the same cut over and over ….. then you just don't pay attention to what you are doing..... use a push stick all the tine
It doesn't take much to lose your concentration and have a disaster in the shop. The tools are all so powerful and designed to cut materials that are much harder than our flesh. Sorry to hear about your accident but I hope it serves as a reminder to everyone that you can never have too much safety equipment when it comes to tools like this. Thanks for tuning in.
Nice
Thanks for the kind words on the show Ernie. I appreciate you tuning in
Love this idea do you think a newbie could make it or more skills required?
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that a "newbie" could do this. This is a great skill builder and even if it looks a little "wonky", don't worry about it. It's purpose is to keep your fingers away from the blade and no matter what it looks like, it will serve that purpose. Good luck on your project. I know you can do this. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings thank you I’m a girl learning to do wood work sharing hubby’s toys and I’m now getting my own toys, never got the chance at school, wow I’m loving it, video was great thank you
@@alisonjordan1152 You're very welcome. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate Alison. I'd be more than happy to help if I can. Feel free to send me some pictures of your projects to the show's email address. acutabove_woodworking@hotmail.com
V good yar nice
Glad you liked it Jai. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
Using the saw handle ... a little bit genius
It just made sense to me. I guess it's the old adage that if it isn't broke, don't try and fix it. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show.
Only worry i have about this narrow design is, that it will pass the blade, and if you only have the riving knife on, there is still a chance that the push block may tip towards the blade. I might be wrong here.
I have never had anything like that happen with these push stick Jan. If you are at all concerned, double or triple the thickness of the stick. Glue several of them together to get a more stable base. Anything that keeps your fingers away from the blade is a good thing. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comment. It's truly appreciated.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Thx for the update. I will build me one of these.
@@jriis2010 You're very welcome. Good luck on your build.
Why not just cut an old hand saw instead
I guess if you had an old handsaw that you were willing to cut up, that would work but handsaws can be sharpened so they are rarely old enough to trash. Thanks for tuning in Ray.
