It never ceases to amaze me how designful you are with everything you do. You are awesome Izzy
It's good to see you happily thrive in your element - design is your passion and it shows. Thanks for your continued effort in supporting the maker community.
That push shoe design is amazing. I would definitely buy one of each version. I have the micro jig push block, but it just collects dust.
Thank you Izzy! I have Neropathy in my feet and legs from chemo so I understand being in and out of the chair. I salute you for keeping on! I just installed a new table saw, well its not completely installed yet. I know it's not a Harvey or Grisley or powermatic, but for the smaller projects I have left to finish the house, I built the Laguna will work. In saying that I love doing exactly what you do an draw up things I need a build them as I go. That push shoe is interesting. I will be watching which way you go with it. I believe you have a marketable prod. There. Unless someone offers to buy it from you. God speed on all your works!
M.C.
I’d buy this 100%. I like the take on off version with the sticks.
Love this push shoe so much I can't wait for plans to come out. Will probably guess at the dimensions and experiment till I come up with something on my own. Will buy the plans when they come out. Thanks for your new designs keep them coming
I have been a subscriber for awhile, because your designs aren't just brilliant, but you show the progression to get to the finalized product! Your ideas push your audience to be creative, and I truly marvel at your genius! The best thing of all, is you explain it to where anyone can understand it. You don't talk down to us, you talk to us, showing your ideas so that we can duplicate them! Thanks for being such an inspiration.
Hi Izzy, I found a MAJOR FAULT with your push shoe. It is far to nice to use. Just sell it as art. Fantastic work.
Totally agree...I wouldn't want to chance messing it up.
This design takes it to another level completely , well done!
I've watched thousands of hours of woodworking videos and never heard the term push shoe. Learned something today
Great idea! Impressive design! Thank You for sharing this. I will be looking forward to the build of your enhanced version. Thank You for your continued posting!
Thank you very much!
Izzy, coming from someone who pushed his finger into a spinning saw blade, I will never not use a push stick or push shoe again. I eagerly await the latest version of your rapid adjust push shoe for my next build. 👍🏻
Izzy,
Not only is your creative prowess, unquestionable (as well as inspiring),but the presentation of your design process is a joy to watch. It can always be better… ‘what if’. I look forward to each of your posts.
Now all I need is a decent tablesaw!
Safety first is always on your mind, with this brings a versatile push shoe block, love the idea. Your thought process is amazing.
To market... or plan set... or BOTH, bring it on.
This is brilliant and a handsome addition to any shop, impresses the customers.
I like the way you overengineer things. When I saw how quickly my push things get chewed up, I decided to accept that, and make them simple cheap and disposable. My block is a short piece of 2x4, with a plywood handle glued (not screwed) in a groove on the top side, and a replaceable piece of plywood sticking out of the bottom to do the pushing. I don't even try to avoid the blade, I let them to get chewed up. At some point I cut a slice off the bottom, and it is again good to go. After a few rounds, I make a new one, it doesn't take long. As to your problem of finding them, I give them a quick coat of red spray paint.
I love the single-knob adjustable version. That one I would definitely buy! If it’s ok with you, I will rip off your idea for the other version and try to make my own. I have some walnut and dogwood that I just can’t bear to burn, but are just the perfect size for this adjustable shoe. Thank you, Izzy, for sharing your wisdom and ideas. :)
I completely love the push shoe. You always I spire me to get to my shop. Great work.
Hey Izzy, id love one if you will sell them!
A thought: make the side stabilizer spring loaded with a thumb hold, so that when you unscrew the knob it pushes down onto the workpiece automatically, then you tighten the screw.
Alternatively have it the opposite, spring loaded upwards so that when you adjust the knob it automatically lifts it up to full height up and away from the piece.
Even crazier idea, and I have no idea how youd engineer it, but it would be neat if a left turn springs it up and a right turn springs it down.
I like that you can see the blade and wood feels so much better than plastic In the hand
Really well thought out and designed. No question about that.
But it seems to be overkill. I've used a push shoe with my right hand and a push stick in my left for many, many years. For the kind of work I do the biggest problem I have is that I frequently cut narrow strips and the sole of the push shoe gets chewed up. Simple repair. Cut it off and glue on the spare sole that I batch out from scrap. And I always have two. One for use now and one with a fresh sole so I don't have to stop when the use shoe is used up. Simple, fast and much easier to use/replace than the fancy gripper or your ( admittedly clever ) design. Just my .02 worth.
Bravo ,lovely job. Well thought out. 🎉
Always happy to see another new IZZY SWAN video on my feed. Great ideas, audio, editing and pace. I have resisted buying those expensive push blocks. This I like a lot!!
Okay, wow! You are always taking simple things to the next level. Whether it's an infeed support complete with tilting panel lift or an expanding push shoe. Genius!
Izzy is my favorite mechanical engineer.
Your going to have microjig knock on your door now. Heck you probably popped eye balls out the heads, jaws dropped to the floor, and tongues rolled out. I like how you take things to that next level. Your footage is always exciting to watch. Don’t stop what you do. My opinion is you inspire/challenge others to push their skill levels and imagination to limits as to never stop until you’re satisfied with yourself.
Love your channel Izzy!
Wow! Tha k you for the amazing coment
Love them both. The one knob expandable is next level wow
I really like it. As soon as you make it for sale I will buy one. The fact of being able to see the blade is what did it for me.
Just love your passion! In nearly 70 years I’ve only
met a couple of people that get so excited about what
they can do to make thing more efficient.
Finally the Shoe went from Converse to Hoka's for wood workers. Love the scissor type over the multi piece although it has some advantages particularly with re-sawing. Personally I'd lose a piece in the middle of working and have to stop and find it for the next op...perhaps a box or hanging system¿ Izzy as an old geezer engineer, I So appreciate your design mind and enthusiasm for iteration and reaching for simple elegance. Always a BIG Thank You for all you bring to the community! ~PJ
I love your brain! I would absolutely buy a plan and would love to build everything. Ideally you’d share the svg so I could create a template but I’d buy one from you if not. Thanks for teaching me.
Thank you
Me too!
Izzy you have an amazing way of designing ordinary objects to be better and more useful. Been watching you for years and I really like this one. I want one of the auto adjust ones at the end. I could settle for version 1 or 2 and make it myself but I want version 3! I hope you do decide to sell them. Btw I live 20 miles from you and if you have one leftover from your prototypes, I’d be happy to come pick it up! I’m getting ready to retire and would love to have one! I wish you and Maggie all the best and take care.
Excellent design. Very interested to see the next version.
Anything that can help us use the damn table saw safer is ALWAYS appreciated.
I would love to have that shoe! What a fantastic design. You truly have a gift! Take it to market.
This is absolutely brilliant Izzy....WOW!
Ahead of the industry once gain. At this point we expect nothing less from you. Congrats on another awesome design and wishes for a Happy New Year.
Dude I found you by pure chance and I must say you’re a mad scientist with wood! Rock on 🤘🏽
Nice one Izzy! Waiting for the video. Keep up the great ‘out of the box’ ideas.
You continually amaze me. I truly enjoy your down to earth attitude, and how you present your content. Wishing you and yours the best for 2024 and forward. Thank -You.
Once again, You never fail to impress.
Such a truly gifted man.
Love your videos & everything you offer to the community...
Every episode is the product of an admirable ingenuieering brain. Thank you for sharing your ingenuity with us.
The last iteration reminds me of another tool by an amazing designer, problem solver and inventor being produced in Strongsville, OH.
You are one of the smartest guys on TH-cam, that design is amazing and I would certainly want to buy it. I wouldn't mind making it for a fun project, but short of that, I would certainly buy it. Please do one or both. Thanks, and keep up the excellent work...All the best to you and your family in the coming year...
Amazing, Izzy! Watching the design journey grow was fantastic. Also, I now know the difference between a push stick and a push shoe. 🙂
This is incredible and inspiring. This is the best part of woodworking right here. Inventing solutions to problems for me is what i love and you just took it to another level.
Your brain is an amazing thing. Always love your content. I hope you and yours had a wonderful Christmas and have a safe and happy new year. Thanks for what you put out there for us!!
Excellent idea!!!
That scissor push-shoe is a very clever design. One possible hazard I see is if the material being cut has a slight catch or kickback and that knob is not cranked down tightly enough, it could expand the scissor and sideswipe the blade, causing the push-shoe to kick back.
Love it, Izzy!
Happy New Year!
As someone else mentioned above, id also like to see a sacrificial replaceable piece at the bottom of the shoe, even for the complex expanding block. Keep a few spare bottoms around which are easily replaceable.
I'd love to see a build video for the complex one (of course!). For a marketable one, I'd want something I could add sacrificial scrap pieces to, but reuse the mechanism. I can think of a few ways to accomplish that, but I'm sure you can think up a dozen before lunch!
That is epic. Thanks for sharing some of the process and thought process too
Definitely would buy this. Most likely one of each. Always such ingenious products for us mere mortals!!😂
It's brilliant! Both concepts are. I really enjoy uour videos, thank you for sharing!
I will buy two of them .Great design
Awesome, thank you!
Wow, Izzy. Just wow!
Well I can see what I will be doing in the shop for the next while. I love your "next level" of the things you create. I have a shop full of things I didn't know I needed until I saw it here. Trouble I have is they never seem to work as flawlessly as your builds.....darn you! ;). Been a long time sub'er and so happy for you to be able to get back into the shop and do what you do best! Keep on keeping on! To the scrap pile, and beyond! Thanks Izzy et al.
What an amazing design! Once again you’ve amazed us with your design skill$
Another amazing product from Izzy! WOW
Loved the way you led us through the build, it was like a “story” unfolding through the video.
All I use is a push stick. I have looked at several different push shoes. But never found one I liked. Until now. I'm in for these.
Going by that thumb nail, that is too nice to use, super cool👍
First, amazing design!
Second, the presentation of this video is awesome. The way you go through each iteration and the thinking for each upgrade is really clear and as with any incredible teacher/craftsman you make coming up with this great final product seem natural and easy when it was a ton of hard work.
For large numbers of small stock pieces....definitely! I'll take 1 of each and go from there. GREAT BUILD!
I love it when Izzy go's down interesting an path!
Wow! At first I was thinking, “OK, you made a wooden Grripper.” But then you addressed that and I was like, “ok, I get it.”
And THEN…. And then you busted out the single knob adjustable shoe and BOOM 🤯 #MindBlown! That’s awesome!
Thank you for also differentiating between push stick, push shoe and push block. I’ve never heard the term “Push Shoe” until now. #KnowingIsHalfTheBattle
I love it. Can’t wait to have it available to purchase.
Another amazing innovation! I love your ideas.
Awesome design, looking forward to see the build, Thanks for the post
Great design. Looking forward to seeing your build video
Brilliant, Izzy! Really fantastic work! 😃
I hope you had a fantastic Christmas!
Happy new year! And stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Amazing, love your brain, love the way you find solutions out of the box.
If I had more time, I'd make one, now I would definitely buy one from you, if you deliver in the Netherlands.
You're my favourite creative builder . Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏
I really like both designs. I certainly would benefit from having both in my shop.
Awesome. Will be interesting to see the final product.
love this idea looks amazing your genius is showing
Plans! I need this! Thanks for the awesome content as usual!
You have some amazing inventions. I also would definitely buy one. Thank you for your awesome videos.
MicroJig / Gripper is going to be knocking at your door. Fantastic. I want one. Edit - Someone has already made the same comment so we agree this is great innovation,
Love it. Keep us updated on the progress.
I like the auto adjust one bit the versatility of the take apart is awesome!
Brilliant! Always impressed by your ingenuity.
To market! To market! Fantastic designs.
What a great push shoe ,I love your channel you always have the best tips
So cool! Thank you for sharing.
WOW!
That is so cool! Great job
Dood... you are such an inspiration. Total Awesomeness!
Thanks for showing your process on how you developed each version. Very cool.
Super cool thinking outside the box.
Nicely done!. If I were into wood working - I would want one!
Looks amazing, definitely interested. Thanks
I just love the way your mind works. I would love to see plans in the future for any of those push shoes
Well I am sold on the quick one know design, But I am also sold on your other designs. I would love to get my hands on the templates one day when funds allow me to do so. Great work Izzy👏
I love this idea, is so great and useful
You never cease to amaze me your imagination and skill are at the next level, but this push block maybe one of the best things you’ve ever come up with for the average work Wood worker happy new year to you and yours never stop dreaming
Oh yeah, now that's cool. I love the iterative design process.
Wow Izzy, you’ve done it again! Sign me up for the plans, I can’t wait to build all of ‘em!
That ought to sell. Nice job. Always interesting.
The mad scientist of wood working strikes again! Fascinating creations.
Happy New Year to you and Maggie.
Nice work & terrific design Izzy! Happy New Year! Looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2024! 👍👍💥💥
Those are gorgeous! Yeah, I'd buy a plan set or a completed unit.
Way too awesome!! Both from a functional standpoint and from, like others said, hearing your thinking process out loud!! Plans or market, you got me hooked. Happy New Year 2024!
Thank you for sharing your ideas, I definitely love the idea that you can see the material as your pushing through. I would certainly purchase one or two. I suppose I could build from your design, but then I have to find that grippy stuff and that's just going to be a pita.😂 Great design.
Wow! Amazing love this amazing design....I will definitely consider making one..
