Does anyone know where I could find a pattern for a tablesaw push stick on
the web that is comfortable to use? Regards. -Guy |

I designed one very similar to yours.. except that my handle extends
forward more so that I have more leverage on downward pressure to prevent lifting. "Swingman" wrote in message ...

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.)

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. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 1/31/04 |

I like that when holding this your fingers are curled up out of the way. |

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.

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. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 1/31/04 "SwampBug" wrote in message Pics on ABPW |

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. |

It's not the question but how you ask it. If you had stated that you did a search and couldn't find anything you probably wouldn't have not have gotten the responses you did. Next time give a little more background to your question. |

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 - Nick B "Swingman" wrote in message ...

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...........

Say Dave, care to regale us with the technical term for the
item the man is wanting a pattern for? Just remember, the term can't have "thingie" in it. UA100, who is thing, Stick For Manipulating Wood Through Saw Cutting Machine has a good ring to it but may be a wee bit longish... |

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. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 1/31/04 "Nick Bozovich" wrote in message BYW, do you heat it in the winter?

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.
