Nice. I need to make one of these.

I like this as well. Like Darryl and Giz I need to make one of these too. I have more “respect” for my jointer than any other tool I own so one of these would go a long way towards making jointing a safer operation.

simple but useful, i like that.

Hi Spanky;

I like that. I made one, not quite so nice, and I mounted the handle the opposite way.

Seemed like a good idea, since I was reaching back to the end of the board. It works well.

I like your push stick and the machine it’s used on. They are both impressive!

very nice shop safety project . I was considering making one with an additional knob towards the front for better pressure distribution.

This is a great push stick. Add me to the list of “I need to make one of those!” My hands are very small so something that would give me better control such as this is always welcomed, ya know? Thanks for sharing!

Great idea. The only thing I will do different is to definitely NOT put screws in the rear of the push stick like that. One slip and you’ll have a ruined set of blades.

I really like your push stick as well. Mine works well enough, but it sure doesn’t look like yours. Nice work.

Well I am impressed with that. More safety in the shop! Count my fingers!

Well that’s a lot nicer than the one i made. Mine was pine and oak scraps. With the oak inlay(is that the right term?) anyway i like the saw handle. it looks sturdier(is that a word?) and definitley no screws except to hold the handle on mine.Wish i had a jointer also still saving, Ive been using mine on the table saw and router table.

I noticed the screws also. Looks like a great push stick otherwise.

Nice push stick. I will have to remember your’s when I refurb and use the jointer that I have. Thanks for sharing.

What you can do to fix the screw problem is to replace the block with a “L” shaped piece and screw it on the end rather than the bottom.

Do that and it will be a great pusher.

Thanks Jocks! All very good comments and I appreciate them. After all, 9000+ heads are better than one!

I’ve needed one for 20 years time to get with it and make one. I’m with gary on the scew issue.

Pretty impressive, Spanky. I just have the little rubber pads that came with my jointer. This is a far more manly push stick.
