Thank you! I just made my push block and a feather board…

Somehow I don't think Microjig is going to sponsor this one.

Woodworking is so plagued by over complicating things. Thank you for always keeping it simple and getting the job done!

Now there's a helpful shop-made tool. Just needs a coat of colorful paint! :D

great idea saved me 50 bucks and maybe a finger

I appreciate that despite having a very suitable spindle sander to clean up those parts with, you did the job with the random orbital sander to show how to make use of limited tools, especially the ones you prescribed in your weekend woodworker course. You're dedication to newbie woodworkers like me is appreciated. We can't all build vertical bandsaws and pantorouters just yet!

Yes! Gotta be honest here, though...I'm Googling "pantorouters" now. XD

I made your push block. Thanks for keeping us safe, Steve.

K.I.S., the more I learn about woodworking, the more I appreciate K.I.S. Good stuff Steve, thanks.

Get a nylon plaster's float from a builder's merchant. Cut the sides down to suit, put an end piece on and use that

Thank You!!! I just retired and getting into woodworking. I was preparing to buy push blocks and came across the video. After viewing the video and looking around your work shop I will no longer purchase ANYTHING I can build.

OK Steve if they want to do it fine the blade only needs to be as high as the wood is ther been said thks again for sharing your project with us keep them coming ya got this

It's just a push stick. No need to over engineer. Great design making one next. Wasn't sure why you had the end offset until the end on vid makes alot of sense just flip the piece over and you've got a new stop. Thanks Keep It Simple Stupid are usually the best designs and functionality. I'm not afraid of the screws you would really have to be cutting in REAL DEEP into a push block. FANTASTIC.

The only part of this that makes me sad is the definitive end of the MicroJig intro jokes. I miss those. Still love Steve. I just miss the jokes.

Princess Meow Meow brand push block? Or how about another Steve Favorite... [insert random color] Brand Push Block?

One thing I did was glue some no slip material on the bottom of the push block and it helps. Got it from the dollar store and used spray glue.

Yay for metric values! Even after watching US woodworking films for a few years it still takes too much time in my head to do all those ⅜ conversions.

In the US, it’s becoming increasingly standard to be familiar with both USCS and metric, among people that design or build things. While most of the world can speak at least two languages, the US is starting to become versed in two systems of units. I personally like having the flexibility to use either.

I freaking love this dude! Whenever I have questions about anything woodworking related, when I search youtube, this dude made a video with the answers I need already.

Now paint it yellow with green trim :)

Nothing's more noble than helping people prevent harm to themselves. I salute you, sir!

саморезы в толкателях недопустимы! Я в негодовании!

You are fantastic, loved this video

I drill a couple of holes near the back corners and push in some dowels. Makes it easy to change the height for thin material

Just discovered this channel two days after getting my first table saw - brilliant!

Love your videos Steve. Just started last year at 60 and you have shown me how to build a cross cut sled , push block and push stick as well as countless tips. You make things seem achievable to beginners where others confuse you. Teaching is an art in itself

Thank you so much for this simple push block build. I knew that I was in need of one to be safe, but I didn't want to drop $50 or $60 dollars at the store. Love the simplicity and will thank you every time I keep my digits safe! I'll be making one first thing tomorrow morning 😊

Thank you for not having a giant corporate tool sponsor and a huge production workshop, you are keeping it real for the small guy like me and yet I found your router lift table on the Woodsmith thru shop notes and I backtracked it to find you.Stay real your amount of subscribers tells me that. I live in South Florida and the lack of hardwood suppliers is very very limited. Regard’s, Mark

I really appreciate the free plans. Thank you

Agree. The plans look great.

The Gripper. I think we all miss those sketches.

hahaha. The intro had me laughing. "You need a push stick to make a push block." My mind is confused now. What do I do?? haha.

omg! google suggested this channel, great stuff! so practical and doable without needing $50,000 in tools I wouldn't even know how to use

Thanks for the idea, after watching the video where the man was injured by the jointer, I review the technique and such videos are wery useful)

Built it. Works great. Have overwhelming desire to paint it yellow ...

I made one of these last winter. I think it’s about time to replace the 2x4 base and the foot. Great design and cheap to build and maintain.

Saw this early this morning... Stopped all my projects and make one like this. Started cutting some 1 3/8 strips... now I am doing it safely. THANKS.

Oh and I forgot to mention the free plans. You are awesome!

I had an inspiration…HD sells a wooden concrete float for 11 bucks. It’s not free scraps but could easily be modified into a push block.

Thanks Steve. These videos are lessening my fear of my table saw. I'm going to be making Push Blocks.

Thanks - I will make one!!!

thank you for not marketing products by the way! notice all your tools are of various brands.

In this video Steve does exactly what he tells you all the time to NOT do in several other videos: crosscut a panel pushing it against the fence. LoL.

I like the reusable handle. Thnx

I like it.

I saw a post in a page on FB to make the spray-on template easier to remove without the glue afterwards. Put down some blue masking tape on the wood, then spray-on the glue, then the tape comes right off without the issue of the glue stuck to the wood. Thanks for the video Steve, love the channel and all your instruction!

You can always mark a line around the 2x4 base as a warning for the screw depth. It's easy to forget to lower your blade, like when you switch from cutting a thick board to a thin one. The "warning line" on the sides of the push block may help you remember, or at least give you peace of mind knowing you're still in the "safe zone".

That's exactly what I did

Freud recommends the blade be high enough for the tooth to clear the top of the work piece.

@skysoldier31

This allows the teeth to vent their heat out and will allow for a clean cut and longer lasting blade.

I'll use the height he used in the video for reference. But would there not be more time of the teeth being free of wood underneath the table surface? Thus allowing more time spent in the air for Cooling? Freud also recommends to buy Freud blades.

3 жыл бұрын

I've always heard that you should set the height to the bottom of the gullet so it can clear the sawdust. There's also an argument to be made that a higher blade height makes the cut closer to perpendicular to the wood making a cleaner cut. So many opinions on this one!

@@jhersk yeah that’s what I’ve learned as well. It makes for a cleaner and safer cut. Something about less chance of kickback due to the angle of attack of the teeth.

I scrolled down to look for Micro Jig comments. Was not disappointed.

Greeting from Johannesburg - South Africa - you sir are a champion and a leader amongst men. I almost went to buy a Jig when I remembered this video .... R300 for the block and R79 for the stick .... but now I can make my own from scraps ... and buy a Glue Bottle.... Thank you for the Plans

When you drill the two holes in the cleats, you could stack them up and gang drill so that the holes are all in the same location. That way if you replace a cleat, the holes will line up with the existing holes in the 2x4.

Glad I read the comments before posting. I was thinking the same thing!

I made mine last night. Only took about an hour to make both the push stick and the block. I love that it's just a piece of 2x4, and I don't have to worry that I'm cutting through a $60 Griprrrr. When it gets chewed up, just replace it with another chunk of 2x4, and you're good to go. Thanks for the plans, Steve!

Muy bien explicado sin rodeos. Gracias por los planos en milimetros.

I thought I was the only one who drills through the wood into my bench... LOL

Great. Very informative.

I just finished my push block and it works better than the $40 I bought. I cut one 8 by 2.5 by 3/4 inches wood board for the flat part, adding two 8 by 3/4 by 3/4 to inches to secure the handle side by side, which I also cut from the same wood board. My handle was 6 1/2 by 2 1/2 by 3/4 inches and modeled the same as yours. Been new to woodworking, it took me have a day to finish it, using a Japanese saw and putting it together with wood glue. I finished the top part using sanding paper and stained it. For the bottom part, I used a 2x4x10 inches piece of lumber, which will be replaced as often as needed. Next project is going to be a cross cut sled, which you also have a video for. Thank you for an excellent video.

Love it! Thank you!

Absolutely LOVE this push block idea!

Thanks again Steve! You’re the best.

Thank you an that’s some great advice!

Sanding at "Superman" speed!

Keeping it simple... is why I've watched his channel for years

great video, thank you man

I'm gonna make one! Thanks!!

Thanks Steve, love your projects. Thank you.

Thank you for adding conversion to real units when you mention measurments. :)

Well, I guess this will be one of my beginner projects when starting to use my table saw. Easy and important. Thank you!

Thanks for the simple

Thank you!!! Really helpful

So relaxing to watch.

I was actually in the midst of buying a mitre saw, but after watching your video on ‘table saw or mitre saw’, I’ve decided ( planing) on the table saw now. Tq so much also for the simple push block plans. God Bless.

Great idea. Thank you.

Thanks for including the metric conversions :)

Fantastic Steve, thanks so much.

I've been wanting a push block for about a month now. But I haven't yet made it only because I knew this video was coming! Now, I have no excuses left!

Amazing work

good job.....I'll make two

Steve, thanks for producing this (and all of your) content. I made this push block and it is a game changer for me. Greatly appreciated!

Hoorayy for the metric details!

One thing you can do is spray some rubber insulation on the bottom to get that grip. Love it! Thanks for giving this to the community.

Great video. Gonna make one.

Fantastic, Steve! Thanks a lot! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks, safety first!! Going to try your design!!

looks good and simple

steve your the best, love watching your "how to videos" but i was wondering if you a simple cutting board finger grip jig?

Simple and safe.....thats what I like. Thanks as always Steve

Love the Gerry Cheevers hockey mask picture behind you. So many scars!, and we think woodworking is dangerous!

Great video Steve. I like the simple but effective design.
