This is a seriously epic push stick. I am going to have to make one like it, with all the little must-have features. I love the sacrificial bottom, and the adjustable plastic bolt & wingnut tail. Pure genius!

@davidbucher1569 4 жыл бұрын

I am new to the woodworking craft and I really think your enthusiasm is contagious. Also your ideas are awesome. Never would have thought of the push stick caddy but its awesome!!!

@barryfinn2538 4 жыл бұрын

I have only just come across your videos and have watched many of them back to back. You are such an inspiration to go do stuff (just wish I had the space). Nothing seems to be too much of a challenge I love the fact that you are so cheerful and down to earth, its fascinating to see how you keep developing your ideas as you go and that you explain everything in such an easy to understand way without coming across as patronising. Keep up the excellent work. I look forward to watching many more.

Great video April (as always!), and I always appreciate your candor in ideas that didn't work as well as you'd like. One suggestion - instead of routing a dado on the back of the push stick, and then having to cut that fancy raised tenon on your tail stock every time you replace the tail, you could reverse those. Glue a 3/8 inch X 3/8 inch (or so, depending on the thickness of your push stick) tenon to the back of your push stick so that when you have to replace the tail, just cut a dado through the length of your new tail stock to fit the permanent tenon. I think that might be easier for replacement of tails when they get cut up. BUT...keep up the great videos April, your ideas are incredibly helpful and you have a great way of explaining what and why. I LOVE THEM!

@tomsears2471 4 жыл бұрын

Love the idea of the tray on saw fence. Very clever and keeps things in their place. In my workflow, I don't like things on top of the fence as I often cut taller things (boxes) where that might get in the way. I need to think how I might be able to adapt this idea. Thanks for the great videos.

I know this is an old video and Jay Bates’ was much older. Just yesterday, I recalled Jay’s and made one of his push sticks to give to my son along with my table saw. I should have checked your library first, April, as you always have such great ideas. Now I want to make him another one with your adjustable stop.

Awesome push stick April. It’s so pretty I wouldn’t want to use it though lol. I love the idea of the replaceable sacrificial foot as well as the tail. I definitely plan on building the caddy though because my push sticks are always falling off of the notch in my fence. I have tried several ways of having them where they would be quick and easy to grab but yours certainly top anything that I’ve tried.

Thanks April! Just got my first tablesaw and made a VERY rough version of this today. The first few cuts I made with my tablesaw, before making this push stick, were pretty terrifying if I am being honest. I am very cautious and have been watching safety videos for months so it was mostly me being new, but also that flimsy plastic push stick wasn't cutting it. After making this push stick, the first cut I had to make was a long skinny rip cut and this was AMAZING! I didn't fear for my life for even a second :) Thanks again!

First of all you have amazing videos, which for me, are just right for my level of woodworking. Second, I love the large footprint of the push-stick and I'll definitely be making the fence caddy for my SawStop as well. So with that, a thought; how about making the push-stick tail floating instead of fixed so it can just slide up out of the way when not needed but then drop down over the end of the stock when it is needed? That way it's always the right height/thickness for whatever stock you're cutting.
