I won't say I "designed" one, but I often use a somewhat similar
design - other designs too, depending on the need. But, I just cut mine
out with the bandsaw, I don't make 'em anywhere near as fancy. I find
mine get chewed up, in cutting narrow pieces, so they get replaced
fairly often. That, and I usually can't find the last one used. I have
even been known to glue some up, when I had time on my hands.
Regardless, making a push stick sure isn't rocket science.

Thanks..........to the guys who gave me a freindly response.
Some responded to the fact that I should do a search myself.........well I
did that before putting the question on the group. I didn't like anything I
saw...........every site wanted to sell me something and I was just looking
for something different than the pattern I have from my Delta unisaw manual.
I thought this is what the group was for. If I can't use it for that I will
just unsubscribe. Personally, I think it is people like Rod who should
unsubscribe or just read and keep the fingers off the keyboard. There is
many times I read threads on newsgroups and would like to answer the way he
did but I just keep it to myself. Again.................thankyou to the
people who responded in a helpful manner. Regards. -Guy

And, you also didn't say that, so how is anyone to know?
* I didn't know I had to write a book before asking a question just to
explain why I am asking the question.
Musta been using the wrong search words then. Did you try changing
your search phrase?

Not really. I had the same thought. Probably a lot of others did
too. After all, you didn't bother to say you had already looked, or any
details. Lack of details, that'll get you every time.

If you say you already looked, then people won't think you didn't.
Can make a HUGE difference in he quality of the responses you get. But,
you should have already figured that part out.
* Yes, maybe I was using the wrong search words. I am not an expert on

An expert is someone who know everything there is about a given
subject. So, you must have meant comptent, rather than expert. Try
google, it's quick, easy, and works.
* So what are newsgroups for if you can't ask questions?
Gee, I don't recall any saying you can't ask questions. The point
is, a lot of people, myself included, figure if someone isn't willing to
try to help themselves find something, why should we spend our time
lookit things up? That comes back to the say you already looked thing.

OK, you subscribed to it apparently.

Sounds like an 826 - You obviously have me mistaken for someone
else. My webpage states throughout that the links are for my
convenience. You should have read what I said before I got so prissy
about it. LOL That alone should be enough to tell you I like it as is;
that's what's important to me; I can't imagine why you would think I
didn't like it. However, it is under constant change, with things
discarded, changed, or added. What is this "too much to the point" part
you don't like? You didn't give any details, and as I don't read minds
anymore, I don't know. If you didn't like any of it, you should have
forwarded a complaint, in the section for that, at the bottom of the
first page. LMAO That's OK, I don't think anyone forced you to look at
my webpage, and you don't have to look at it again, if you don't want
to. No prob.

Ah yes, very similar to _my_ push stick stick.
I would say that yours is more Nahm inspired Functional, with a pleasing
touch of Arts and Crafts inspired Utility, but definitely created in a
"shop" and therefore more bourgeois... while mine has more of the graceful
curves of a Maloof inspired, "studio created" piece, more appropriate for
adding dignity to what would be an otherwise vulgar operation.

Sounds like we may be of the same school when it comes to controlling
possible kickback situations by judicious force instead of ducking. ;>)
It's been a pretty comfortable design for me ... I can get a surprising
amount of leverage just by rotating my wrist downwards without moving my
hand.

My only advice is to make sure the back end, the part in your hand, is
very blunt. Mine wasn't and was sent into my hand at 115mph. The
result was eight stiches. When I remake mine (I'm just now recovered
enough to return to woodworking) I might even add padding to the
handle. Good luck.
BTW, did I mention never to make a rip cut without the guard on?

Look at a Kerosene heater. I bought one and am very pleased with it.
heats my 3-car garage just fine after an hour or so. Of course, I
don't spray anything while it is running.

Everyone has different ideas about what's comfortable/safe, and that might
well change with the task. I have made many different styles down through
the years and settled on one that is comfortable for most rips (picture on
the website below, Fixtures and Jigs page ... just one look at it will allow
you to copy it, and be my guest.) YMMV.

I have long been bothered by that situation. For awhile I wanted to
just tell him what I thought of him and what he was. But to what end.
Just for me to feel better. And that's the wrong reason. Escalation
would not have really helped anything. And I would have diminished
myself doing it.
As far as posting every fart on the internet goes, he seems to be the
one eating chilli. Every thought, musing and observation gets posted.
All, it seems, just to rack up the posting counter. Yes there are allot
of nasty things I think I would like to say. But it wouldn't be news to
anybody, and it wouldn't even make a dent. Nothing makes a dent. And
that is not any compliment; as for myself, such an observation would not
be something I could in any way be proud of. And because of that, I
concede your point in that he isn't worth the bother. I am always too
slow to recognize these people. But there are people in the world like
that.
When he made a statement about not getting into any pissing contests,
digging in your heels is just that.
He has problems and they always will be just that. __His problems.__
And part of his make-up. So they will show.

Guy,
Since you seem like a newbie to the 'Wreck, I'll let you in on one of
the more annoying aspects of the 'Wreck: Either preface EVERY post
with "IDAGS but..." (I did a google search) or suffer the wrath of
Joat and others. Unfortunately there is no way to imply that you did
a search, you have to say it explicitly.
You also reopened the wound by picking at the "plans" scab. There is
an ongoing debate about using your own plans vs. purchase/borrowed
plans. It's a religious issue: you are either a believer or an
infidel.
Furthermore, you kept your post short, sweet, and to the point.
Mortal sin. A question such as yours required at least 3 paragraphs,
1 detailing the extensive Google searches you did in your quest for
said plans, 1 or more explaining your level of experience size of
shop, what type of tablesaw you own (maybe throw in a blurp about
left-tilt vs. right tilt to spawn a few additional threads), and at
least 1 describing exactly what you were looking for in a push stick,
what type of wood you wish to use (and if you are using cherry,
whether you intend to stain it or paint it) and your definition of
"comfortable."
Of course, you can just keep on posting as you have, listen to the
helpful who offer advice and ignore the morons. And BTW - in case no
one else mentioned it, a dead cat makes an excellent push stick.

Well maybe he has bad unresolved issues. They burden a person. Like what
I was talking about earlier. Sometimes a simple acknowledgement that
they screwed up, is all it takes. But instead they won't do anything to
even hint at an apology after doing somthing bad. They feel it is better
to leave a person with hurt feelings. They won't try to make amends
because the wife is watching or children are going to see, and they
don't want to set an example of how to behave. What they don't realize,
they are setting an example. And that's bad. Or they are afraid they
won't look manly in front of a crowd. But fear is a weakness and it is a
strength to stand up and say "I was wrong". When someone is like that,
it is really a pissing contest backwards and he has the wind in his
face. That's bad. Our actions and inactions, define us all.

Good news. I see our friend DE is still with us! I'll bet you enjoyed
seeing his pictures. Did you see the pictures he's posted. (I liked
your plywood printer stand too. ) Wow, I hope he gets to keep the router
bits! He's always up to such interesting stuff in the shop. Isn't he.
Now you can ask him those questions you've been having? I hope he
doesn't get shy again. I'm not sure but I think somebody said something
snarky to him. Would you know anything about it Dave? I'm sure it was
just a maturity mistake.
Sometimes good people slip and do things they regret later. There isn't
a man among us who hasn't made a mistake. It's sad but it happens. I'm
sure we both agree whoever it was, is sorry and feels bad about it. In a
sense, whoever it was, did something worse to himself. I think it's
important to teach children that they will slip and fall but it is how
they recover from it later that is important. And not let it define who
they become, or to limit their growth.
After-all, we are what we do.

Sheesh. Read the whole thread and not one mention of dead cats.
Thought for sure that this was an obvious straight line for some of the
screwballs out there. Tom, are the photos of the contest entrants still
out there somewhere?

Thanks for the kind words, Nick.
Heat? No heat or AC. We haven't had a freeze yet this winter that I am aware
of, and I wear shorts and t-shirts in the shop year around no matter what.
It gets downright balmy in the summer months, so I enjoy anything
approaching cold while I can... this August I'll be looking back on January
with fondness, wishing I could have stored it up somehow.

Jules, you're being altogether too human.
Dave's an interesting case. some of the time he has intelligent things
to say, questions to ask and contributions to make to this group. he
can't seem to go very long without making a complete fool and/or
asshole of himself though. I suspect it has something to do with the
anonymity of the forum.
you're a good man to try to steer him right. I'm not the social
engineer type- when he gets obnoxious I just dunk him in the 30 day
killfile again. these days he seems to average about a week at a time
in daylight.... then he'll mouth off again and back he goes.....

Lay the cat down flat on some plywood and draw round it.

here's what I do:
take a triangle of plywood. the last few I have made were the cutoff
from corner cabinets, but you could easily make your own triangles
<G>. a right triangle with sides of about 12 to 16 inches will be
about right. get out your most comfortable fitting handsaw, the one
that you can cut for hours with without getting blisters. lay the
triangle on the bench with the saw on top of it, with the spine of the
saw about parallel to one of the 90 degree sides. trace around the saw
handle. cut the line, sand round over and add a notch at the bottom to
push the board with.
I like that when holding this your fingers are curled up out of the
way.
Swingman-
I'm envious - it's about 7 degrees here tonight - about 2' of snow on the
gound - no heat in my "shop" (garage), so no dust for awhile....one of these
days I'm going to figure out how to heat it within my budget -

I had an plastic snow brush for my car which had a really comfortable
curve to the handle. It was the kind of handle which nestled firmly but
gracefully in the hand, making the tool an extension of one's inner self.
So I laid it on top of a piece of 3/4 pine scrap, traced it with a
pencil, cut it out on the bandsaw, rounded the edges with a rasp and
some 60-grit sandpaper, and put a notch in the end. I suppose you might
call it "Nouveau K-Mart".
I do like a nice glass of well-aged bourgeois with dinner, but only if
I'm done using power tools for the day.

Some pretty awesome projects you've completed. Great workmanship and
finishing. GREAT style!
Don't get me started on your shop - to say it's fantastic is an
understatement! It's obivious you've put a considerable amount of thought
and work into it - BYW, do you heat it in the winter? How?
Very nice set-up -

How do you hold the cat down, glue or brads? What kind of glue should I
use if my shop isn't heated, Gorilla or Titebond? If it's a long haired
cat, should I use Titebond II or III??? Does Norm use brads or glue???
If David Marks uses cats, does that mean he works in a shop or a
studio??? I did a Google search on brad nailers and cats and came up
with nothing. Somebody shut me up before I explode...........
