For a push stick: I replace a 10-toothed/in hand saw with a new one. Took the old blade out of the handle; and used the handle to receive a thoughtfully cut piece of 1/4" ply. Best DIY tool I have made to date. Replacement 1/4" ply "push blades" ready and waiting.

Pro tip : when using a hole saw , allow the 1/4" pilot to go through the stock and the hole saw to cut into the face about 1/4". Then drill from the other side. This will prevent blowout on the other face.

My father was a skilled cabinet maker. If he taught me nothing else, it was that you buy nothing you can make yourself. That even extended into other fields. A keen photographer in the days of film and developing, I owned 4 enlargers over the years. The best by far was the one I built myself. And in 40 years of woodwork, before osteo-arthritis put paid to it, half my tools were made in my own workshop. From granny's tooth to router table. Not just to save money, but because - for my own individual use - the results were better than commercial tools. But I learned one lesson more than any other. No task-speciality jig was ever a waste of the time it took to make. Most are still hanging there. Hopefully others will find a use for them.

@@startmaking1 You're very welcome! Whilst it is nice to sometimes just watch people making things without any talking, I don't learn much and sometimes don't even know what they are doing or making, so it's not very motivational. Keep up the inspirational work! P.S. what is the black knob thing called, please? I think it's on the router paddle/push stick you made. Even better if you could tell me what size it is and is the threaded rod part attached to the knob or separate, did you use a nut for it too? I expect it's called something different here in Australia, so it's size and function are the most relevant details. Thanks in advance.

@startmaking1 18 сағат бұрын

If it is the bit that adjusts the back stop on the paddle, it is from a jig making kit I bought on Amazon. The bit it screws into is a threaded insert. You can get these in different sizes. I have gone for an M8, The bolt section with the black knob is called a clamping screw knob on the ones I bought from amazon and they are also M8 size threads, I had to cut them down to the right length to avoid the need for a deeper hole. I have also seen them called star knobs or hex shaped grip knobs with male thread. I really hope that this helps. If you wanted to you could just use a bolt and sink the nut into the paddle part and glue with epoxy and then counter sink the head of the bolt into a round or hexagon shaped piece of scrap for the knob. Ive done that a few times.

Back to your core calling, Mark. This was a treasure chest of ideas and tips. I loved it! Liked your bench cookies. I bought a pack of foam practice ice hockey pucks that do the same job for a fraction of the price of the real McCoys, but making a French cleat for the cookies… that was class! Going to make me one of those. I liked the rubber based push stick solutions, too, and the router table push stick-square-jig-solution-thingy. Will give that a try. I also really liked the change in camera angle. I know it was because that’s the end of your table saw, but it meant I could get a good gander at that end of the cleat wall too. 😂

@startmaking1 9 күн бұрын

Thank you Roger. this was one I really enjoyed making. Pucks are a brilliant solution. Best thing about the cleat holder is that it is literally thrown together, nothing fancy just a win. Lol, I love how much you like the back drop. That end of the cleat wall is pretty poorly done. It starts at the other end where I am trying to get perfection and then slowly goes into chaos. I may end up making another chest of drawers for that corner so I will have to lose a little of the cleat area. And I am still holding off covering the entire back wall with cleats as that is a massive decision. Fun times.

I agree that the shop is my therapy, and that making anything adds to the joy. However, after a while I find that if I only make "shop projects", and not a finished item that I can put in my house or give to a friend, I start feeling frustrated and unfulfilled. I have a shopful of jigs, storage holders and home-made tools, but I need to produce things that are beautiful for the whole experience to be meaningful. And by "beautiful", I don't mean beautiful to anyone's standards but mine. Seeing an object that I build and that I really enjoy looking at is like graduation, or like an award ceremony, After I finish a project, I can go back to the shop and be perfectly content puttering, rearranging, making new storage items or jigs. Your quick review of all the non-slip materials was worth the price of admission. Thanks. I'm glad I found your channel. Keep it up. I'll keep watching!

RTV works on (most) silicone. In fact, with RTV you can just coat the wood. But the cork is still better because it has greater mechanical stability. Silicone will rip pretty easily. Coating the face with a 2 part urethane rubber is probably the best option. Urethane is tough, mix it up, brush it on.

That is your best video. Good ideas with the ability to adapt them. Unlike some videos where they make an engineered device that takes away work time at the bench and therefore will not be used in case they get damaged. You are making throwaway devices to make a hobby safer and more effective without much cost. I'm a time served cabinet maker, so I tend to be a little picky. Your choice and use of some hand tools is not the best, but your target viewers possibly won't notice. Well done, do some more.

@jak5160 4 күн бұрын

For the sake of hobby wood workers. Planes are numbered, which indicates the length of the plane. You used a long plane, 7 or 8 to level and smooth a piece of wood much smaller than the plane. As a result we can see the plane wobbling around as you push it. No way could you achive a smooth flat cut. A number 3 to 5 1/2 would be much better, smaller, lighter, easier to keep steady while removing a fine shaving. If like me you had used planes for over 30 years you could possibly get away with a number 7 if that was all you had. Personally, I would have used a flush cut saw and then a very sharp chisel. I'm not being critical, merely trying to help a fellow woodworker. Keep making dust and shavings my friend. @startmaking1

Excellent video. I couldn't agree with you more: sometimes it is all about the easy wins. I don't make fine furniture, or sell shed loads of items I make. I do, however, enjoy my time in my basic garage workshop, and find it very therapeutic. I had a lot of left over oak worktop from a kitchen job that I used to make chunky bench cookies. Rather than limit the size and complicate the build - not to mention the cost of beasting through oak with a giant hole cutter - I opted for simple, easy to cut, square cookies, flapjacks, if you like. I used spray adhesive and anti-slip rug stuff, and they work a treat. I went on to make a couple of push pads along the same lines. I also own the gripper, but tend to use push sticks made out of 6by2 offcuts.

@startmaking1 6 күн бұрын

Thank you. therapeutic is the word. Great idea for the flap jacks. I missed a trick here as I have some oak work top left too. I used to carve off 10mm slices to use to make boxes when I first started out. Massive drain on the circular saw. Nice wood though. In a weird way I hope to use the Gripper less and less as I get used to the home made push sticks.

Hi William. thank you, thats really kind. It's funny, I was just discussing the other day if I need to adjust the colour of my logo. I thought that it was a little too dull to notice. Glad you commented, thank you.

Silicon only sticks to silicon. To get your baking silicon to stick, try cutting dowel holes, groves or channels into your tool, rough up one side of the baking silicon and use silicon based adhesive to attach it.

Genius. Thank you very much. Grooves sound like a really good solution.

Good selection of projects. You missed a good grip surface, leather. For these projects you do not need pristine highest quality leather any old leather will do dead shoes, leather chair, leather bike jacket after a tumble at speed or any leather heading to the bin.

G'day all. Just on the silicone sheet, If you make the base thicker put a groove around the top of the base. Stretch the sheet over the base and put a rubber band around it to fit into the groove. No nails and the sheet is held in place tightly and replaceable. If you don't get my idea look at some slingshot making videos you will get it.

I know you're using plywood for those push sticks and don't need to worry as much about it, but I still feel compelled to bring this up. Be careful of short grain in those handles. The last thing you want is for that hand to snap while you're cutting something.

@startmaking1 4 күн бұрын

You are spot on. In fact the one with the replaceable base is a little too small . The push paddle one., I made the handle to base a little thicker. Thank you.

When I was making an 8'+ tracksaw guide, I spread silicone on the bottom of it using a Vee-notched spreader (an old credit card)... it grips better than my commercially made Makita 4' tracksaw guide !! 😎👍☘️🍺

I'll be making the hexagonal bench dog Sunday afternoon. Thanks for the great idea.

@startmaking1 10 күн бұрын

I like mine but in all honesty the square one is basically as good and a little more sturdy. Far easier too. I honestly would make one the size of mine and then one twice the length. Too long and you risk it flipping if it is not wide enough. The hexagon was a fun test but I looked again today and 2 sides are only a few mm apart. Either way, I hope you enjoy whichever one you make.

great video and great ideas. For grip I use the black stick-on stairtread safety strips. It comes in rolls @ big box stores. It's only limit is using it on finished surfaces ... its rough. But who planes finished wood? For cookies grab some black rubber hockey pucks and stick on the grippy stuff.

That push stick is exactly the design I’ve been looking for. I’m pretty new to the table saw and it’s by far the most intimidating tool. The further I can get my fingers away from the blade the better.

The paddle-push stick could be improved by the paddle riding on the left side of the blade and a thin portion on the fence side connected above the blade (or essentially a paddle with a dado to let the blade through). It would double as a blade guard during the cut.

I left the bolts long on the non paddle high push stick for this idea but have yet to get round to it. Good idea for sure.
