Custom Push Stick From Tiger Maple and Morado
I had a few hours of down time while my older daughter Maya was completing some steps on a couple of customer projects, so Sai and I took the time to make a much needed custom push stick. One that was slightly longer than normal.
I Frequently rip shorter lengths of wood in the 2 - 3 feet range, and I am always wanting a push stick that can apply more downward force on the end of wood that is farther from me. A longer push stick will really help with this. I also wanted a push stick that is wider then the standard ¾” size I see everywhere. When I try to apply forward downward force on a narrow push stick, it will sometimes wobble side to side, which isn’t safe. Finally, I wanted a catch or hook piece on the end that I can replace after it gets a bunch of cuts through it from going over the blade.
This push stick met all of these requirements, and I got to build it out of one of my favorite exotics, Morado. Also called Bolivian Rosewood. It is a quick and easy project that only takes a couple of hours. You can of course, make this from any wood you like.

Any link for the "wood taps"? I couldn't understand what you were saying in the video. Thought you said wood whisperer
Ppp opioid ò
That is without a doubt the most beautiful push stick I have ever seen. It belongs inside of a wooden and glass frame display case. I wouldn't even want to use it is so beautiful, and elegant looking! I love that your kids work with you in the shop. When I was a kid, I used to mix cement by hand for my Dad when he was building brick work projects. It used to really give me a sense of accomplishment knowing that my cement was responsible for the structural integrity of his projects. It is a great way to bond with your children, good for you sir. Love your channel!
I should say this stick looks good. BBBBUUUTTT I HAVE TO SAY ITS BEAUTIFUL . It truly is a work of art .
James;
As always I enjoy your videos, and as a 70yr old with 5 Grandkids I especially enjoy your "photo bombers" and family involvement. I began in my Fathers shop in the 1950's learning from him, built my own workshop in 1972 after my tour in the USAF , and have been at it ever since. Now self quarantined because of the virus, I am discovering how many more projects I can make . It is time for a fancy pushstick, and a new and up to date crosscut sled. I have built so many jigs and fixtures over the years, but none that are as universal, and fancy as yours. I, too, have lots and lots of exotic scraps laying around, it is time for me to go back to the shop and take my Grandkids on some exotic wood adventures. Thanks James and Family for your inspiration.

Hi Dave! Thank you!! And thanks for watching. Stay safe out there and have fun building!
~James
Your push stick looks like furniture quality, a work of art.
Very beautiful I like combination of wood I will make one when I get to Colombia thanks
I'm jealous of your machinery. I've got a shop from my father. They are smaller machines but work well enough. He was a wood shop teacher and had all the bigger machinery in his classroom like what you've got. I miss him. He taught me so much about cabinetry.
I am having a problem correcting the crooking in my rough cut lumber. I happened to take a break and watch this. Your push stick is so much safer than the old cutting a v groove in a stick, that's for sure.
Nice work! I would replace your metal bolts with nylon bolts of the same size, so if the blade were ever to be too high, it won't do any harm to the blade.
Thank you for the free plans sir! Ive watched almost ALL of your videos. You are very talented as well as a very bright man. Thank you for your knowledge sir.
The executives at Titebond HQ throw a party every time James builds a project.
Nice project James.
Haha! Thank you!
Super boss . Great preparation & Presentation
Typically it's a King size pushblock! Simply wonderful.
Haha, thank you!
I know you’re proud of your daughter Mia; I look forward to my little ones kicking me off tools in the shop. What a wonderful feeling.
Both Sai, my youngest and Maya my middle daughter have become quite good woodworkers, and I couldn't be happier!
Dear James,
Well what can I say that I haven't already said???? Another yet original if not simple but useful bit of kit essential in any wood working shop. Well done especially the Master sprayer; so nice & rewarding to see one's offs[rings capable of achieving such high standards. Kind regards.
Thank you again! My daughters are becoming skilled woodworkers! It is very nice to see.
Dear James,
Thank you very much for your courteous reply. Indeed I concur dear Sir; I suspect it won't be long before you get outdone. Kind regards.
Now that is by fare the most beautiful push stick I have ever seen. Outstanding as always James.
Thank you very much, Riaan!
I'm starting to watch more and more of your older videos, and I must say that intro is very impressive! From the professional graphics, to the catchy tune, to the just-right brevity of it (some channels' intros go on and on, I clocked one at nearly 2 min!). Well done!
Oh, and great push stick, I'm seriously going to make it, looks really comfortable and ergonomic.
Just downloaded the plans. Thanks so much. Besides being beautiful, I especially liked the angle of the handle and the replaceable end piece. Best I've seen!
The Mercedes-Benz of push sticks! Love these videos, hope you upload soon.
Another must have..!! Great video James and what a beautiful push stick.
James I love when you make utility projects, functional and beautiful! I make them for function only, but you caused me to raise the bar. Thank a lot! Lol.
Hi David. Thank you!
So, funny 😁
I love what you guys do quality wood working 💪
Glue:
You must have shares in wood glues companies
LOL 😆
Nice build. Not many of us would go to such lengths, favoring a more disposable approach and plywood. That said, perhaps it would make sense to modify/preserve your beautiful piece by adding a fairly thin replaceable bottom face, maybe 3/8" or so thick, attached via two-sided tape. Also, to maximize the control this type of design provides, I would refrain from applying a slick finish to the bottom, if anything favoring a treatment that increases friction between push stick and work piece. I sometimes glue a rubber face there, emulating the function provided by the proprietary bottom faces of Micro-jig, et. al.
Like others, I have great admiration for your family approach. Regardless whether any of your children ultimately follow your footsteps to pursue woodworking as a career, the lessons learned from the craft and, more importantly, from following their father's example will be treasures for life.
Looks great, James. I like the longer push block, too.
Thank you Charlie!
Every time I get a notification about your videos I watch them immediately. You're one of my biggest inspirations in woodworking. Keep it up man.
Thank you so much. That is very kind!
Sinner Master me too !!
You're easily in my top 3 channels. Thanks
Maya and Rupa, beautiful names. Thanks for the video!!!
Great project. I love the band saw stand!
Thanks! That's made of solid ash. I think I collected that piece at a Target or K-Mart about 15 years ago. It's so stunning that when I took it out to the trash a couple years ago, it ended up in my shop, and has been put to great use every since. :-) :-)
Nice job there James! 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing!
Hi Bill, Thank you!!
Nice multi-purpose band saw stand you got there!
That has to be the most beautiful push block ever invented!!! The Bolivian Rosewood is just stunning!!
Thank you, that is very kind!
Awesome push stick! Thank you for the plans.
Thank you!
James, You have agreat6 gift of taking such a simple project, making it beautiful, a piece of functional art, that you can use in the shop for years to 9come.
Thanks fo0r sharing;.
Thank you so much Felix!
Beautiful work!
Great Job, I love your new push stick!!
Thank You!

You make even the simple tools beautiful. Now I have push stick envy...
Haha, thanks Tyson!
@@KingsFineWoodworking I would be too afraid to use it.
Working on a new push stick right now, your design, my choice of offcut timber ( maple and cedar). Thank you for the time you took explaining your method of making this very handy jig. We are never to old to learn new idea's.
Thank you!
Thank you James!
Thank You!
been looking for a good push block, now i can make one . thank you . keep up the great work
Hi Carl. Thank You!
Gotta admit at the beginning of the video Iwas thinking what a waste of good wood , but I stand corrected that push block looks killer n as u mentioned it will last as long as u replace the back block, my hats off to u
Everything is contained in the loving creation of a push stick...
Thank you!
Love it! Can't wait to try this
Awesome! Thanks Daniel!
Simply beautiful workmanship!! And what a great design. Love the replaceable block at the end - Clever!!! My comment should be another reason why I subscribed some time ago!! Thank you!
Don't worry James. Your just using enough glue to keep all 55K subscribers sticking with you, Sai and the rest of the family..
Very cool ! beautiful tool that Looks nice while saving fingers.
Thank you!
Great job, love the band saw stand, I don't feel as bad now, thanks!
Haha, Thank you!
I have been needing to replace my push stick and love the one you made. I downloaded your plans. Thank you
That's awesome. Thanks Paul.
cool! thanks for sharing. the nicest push stick i have ever seen.
Haha, thanks!
Seeing you use such beautiful wood on a push block was a little shocking at first, but after thinking about it:
1) it’s custom built for your needs and hands
2) there’s something to be said about having beautiful tools
3) it’s likely still cheaper than the gripper
Nice work. Sorry your daughter was hogging the good tools and clamps. ;)
James, just wanted you to know that I found you through a live stream you did with Nick Ferry several on the back. I’ve been enjoying your videos ever since. I love how involved your daughters are in this venture of yours. Family unity is a wonderful thing! It’s truly special that even your married girls still participate.
Hi Jason, thank you for taking the time to leave such nice comments!
Awesome video bud👍 thank you!!!
Thank you Shaun!
Got the plan. Thanks for sharing.
Thank You!
You are the best. Love your channel
Nice job as always James .... pretty nice shop “furniture” 😎
Thank you very much!
Very nice !
thanks for sharing the video
Thanks, awesome channel!!👍👍👍👍
Good job well made
Hi Colin, Thank you!
love your videos keep up the good work
Hi Wayne, Thank you!
Nice work and nice ergonomic lines in your design. That said, I can’t believe you used such beautiful pieces of wood, and not from the scrap pile, to make a push stick! My push sticks are meant to be sacrificial so I usually make them out of scrap plywood as it seems to hang together better than solid wood as they get cut up. I do like the concept of the replaceable hook, particularly on a fine furniture grade stick. I also like the idea from another commenter to use nylon bolts since we all know, sometimes things happen. Some folks like to drill a hanging hole but I normally don’t as it kinda makes me keep the stick on top of the saw where I can quickly and easily grab it. Overall, I enjoyed the video and it inspires me to make a showpiece for the top of my table saw.
Wow, very nice indeed.
Thumbs up guy's like always I/we love y'all so much and the main reason for this is you are together everywhere as a family and y´all work together we love y´all so much never stop and I really want one of the push sticks and now I will make one I'm not fond of the plastic ones that you can buy
That woods could make a nice guitar top and fretboard! Duh.. choices.;)
Very nice
Fabulous push sticks and a fine instructive video. Great vid about "going ahead"-a good thing to do with one's followers. I'll have to put work into preventing the chewing up my push sticks experience. I wouldn't want all that pretty hardwood to get nicked.
What a fine video this is. Such great presenting skills. Never b4 have I been so highly appreciative of a 16 minute video (I am a votary of short videos). I was so enjoying every detail that the video didn't seem that long. And yes, I agree with the observation of @Alan S that the steel bolts should have been avoided, especially the lower one. I think that plug/lip could simply have been glued on directly, or with dowels, and when the time came to replace them, it could easily be sawn off and a new one glued on again in its place.
One thought about safety: when I make push sticks and later decide when to replace them, I always consider the remote possibility that the work piece might suddenly not be there to maintain the distance between my push stick and hand above the revolving blade. With a 10" saw, the maximum depth of cut, though rarely used, is around 3". I think that most of us tend to use the same push stick for all cuts. Therefore, I always make sure that the closest the push stick design would allow my hand to be above the saw table is greater than the max. depth of cut. In a kick-back or inadvertent stumble, weird things can happen. (My respect/paranoia in this regard likely owes to the memorable experience of cleaning a few of my mentor's fingertips from a table saw 40 years ago...)
Thanks for the plan- template. I would make the two sides a little bit longer to create a guide for the walnut catch. Drill a slot to raise / lower the catch up or down depending on the height of the stock I want to push. I can also be 3D Printed from plastic!!
great ideas!
You have now given me a great idea on where to use a piece of Brazilian Rosewood I have laying around. It would make a great handle for a push block. Unfortunately, it's too small to make a complete center board per your design, but I'm sure I could figure it out. I found it it in an antique pattern maker's tool chest full of tools I bought at a yard sale several years ago. Actually bought two tool chests at the same yard sale sight unseen for $500 bucks. The lady selling them couldn't find the keys and the other guys interested, wanted to wait until they could see what was in the chests. I nearly broke my wrist getting my wallet out and handed the lady the money just as she said she found the keys for the chests. Boy were those guys upset they were slow on the draw.
I kept some of the tools for myself and my wife made about two grand selling the rest on eBay.
A slight change I would make would be lacquer without the catch at the back fitted. If you change to another one you may not have a perfect match and, if undersized, see uncoated wood. The catch block can be lacquered separately. Easy to avoid though by using a slightly oversized on in future but something to be aware of.
Great tip! Thank you very much!
I like that alot. Very pretty. Thinking maybe i could put a slot in the catch piece to adjust for thin stock
Everything you make turns out so beautiful. Although, you must go through rolls and rolls of paper towels to clean up your glue squeeze out. :)
Thank You! I actually have a couple of washcloths, and a bucket of warm water for cleanup. We can't waste paper products. Paper comes from trees! :-)
Keying the sacrificial block in a slot at the back of the handle would eliminate the need for a second bolt. Also use a wing nut in lieu of the bolt assembly would be faster for stop block replacement. Nice looking push stick.
Sweet!
Thanks
Thank you!
If you connect the two bolt holes to make a slot you can adjust the height for different thicknesses of timber being cut.
I’ve just made to your design
Beautiful work. I'd be afraid to use it. Lol
Salut,il est magnifique ton poussoir,bravo.Bisous à toute la famille.
Thank you!
Delightful
Hi, Thank you!
Beautiful James, the finish made that push stick pop. I would not want to use it on a table saw, it looks too good.
Haha, Thank you Dale!
Pretty Gucci push stick my man!
Haha, thank you!
That came out beautiful! I almost wanted to see you leave a channel on the underside, that way if you cut boards that are narrower than your push block, the blade would go into the channel and not cut into the block. Though there was a taper from front to back, so it would have cut in the front, so it would have taken a little redesign anyway. Regardless, very nice push block!
Thank you! And a channel would have been a good idea!
Very beautifully made. What was the name of the sandpaper you used. Thanks Irv.
Pau Ferro (? Spelling) is a beautiful wood. Given the Worldwide ban on import/export in certain exotic woods (primarily Ebony and Rosewood are on the Cites list), lots of guitar builders are now using it for fingerboards etc.
Awesome looking push block only thing I would change is how you attached the sacrificial plate .. I would have cut a slot in it so I could adjust it for different thickness of wood other than that great job
Thank You for the push stick PDF's . Keep up the great vids
I would worry about having a bolt so low and close to the blade. The top bolt will hold on the stop, so a dowel in the bottom hole to prevent twisting might be safer.
Thanks for your input. I will be cautious not to cut an inch deep into my push stick.
Alan S, We must be on the same page as I was thinking the same thing !
Using a metal bolt in the bottom hole might be of concern for those who raise the blade an inch or more higher that the thickness of the piece. I have a push stick similar to James (plywood though) and my rule of thumb is never raise the blade more than about a 1/4 higher than the piece I am cutting. Never had an issue in 17 years of wood working. :-)
I meant it literally. You may not ever have a problem, but it would make me uncomfortable, so I'd use wood rather than steel. But I thought it was closer than 1".
Having a SawStop I was thinking the same thing. Little chance the bolt would get cut but I tend to play it safe.
The thumbnail for this makes it look like a swan
Ps nice push stick..You could also use a flat hex drive bolt like in kitset furniture for a lower profile and then even countersink it for a smooth finish
That would have been perfect! But, I would have had to go to the store. But maybe I will anyway, haha
King's Fine Woodworking lol yes understand that perfectly well.can always upgrade at a later stage I guess
Great looking push stick James,I would rather use figured wood for pens
Love the glue jokes!
Thank you!
I work in a mill works factory and was told that maples burn more quickley because is the that they contain high levels of sugar ! Another thing noticed is that the fly's like to loge on it more than other woods . So i believe what the boss said is so !!
