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.
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
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 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.
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!
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!
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. :)
Izzy, you always impress me with your creative/ ingenious designs with a huge dose of common sense. Always a pleasure to watch the process of refinement and the genius.
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Hi 👋, I hope you all had a great Christmas, and I wish you all the success for the New Year, Amazing, looking product , Push shoe, I can see that taken off and making loads of money. Good luck with that., Happy New Year and see you on the other side , look forward to seeing you next project, I hope you’re all keeping safe and well, Phil from the moulin France
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 🙏🙏🙏
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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...
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!
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.
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!!
Nice job Izzy, I love these! I was planning on on making some push shoes in the near future, and have so many designs, but I love the adaptability of these, and will have to make a couple. Thanks!
Hi Izzy, superb and love the idea. Please take these to market and i’ll buy one in a heartbeat!!! The thing I love about this compared to say micro jig or equivalent knock offs. Is the fact that this is beautifully made out of real wood, which regardless of the extra advantages and benefits it offers, is more to do with the emotion of using something that as woodworkers we love and actually use in our hobby. Can’t remember the last time I made something out of plastic 🤣🤣🤣. Brilliant idea and I can see these flying off the shelves. 👍👍👍
Izzy ~ nice push-stick /shoe. My next push stick /shoe make will be a "bent lamination /steam bent" "pushie" with the "handle" splayed to the face riding on the fence (the default angle pushing into the fence). It's fascinating seeing you over think a minor problems and coming up with an "okay solution"... and then you go "Nah! I can do better!" Kudos you and your team.
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!
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
Izzy, these are great and as soon as I saw it drop to Instagram, I suggested plans. I have been saving some scraps just in case your plans come available on your site. Great work and Happy new year Izzy.
So far it's the best one I have seen. I always had a problem with the micro jig because of cost, 55 dollars and up was too much for a hunk of plastic. I am interested in this one. Timothy
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.

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.
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’d buy this 100%. I like the take on off version with the sticks.
This is brilliant and a handsome addition to any shop, impresses the customers.
I completely love the push shoe. You always I spire me to get to my shop. Great work.
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. :)
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.
Izzy, you always impress me with your creative/ ingenious designs with a huge dose of common sense. Always a pleasure to watch the process of refinement and the genius.
What an amazing design! Once again you’ve amazed us with your design skill$
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.
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.
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!!

Loved the way you led us through the build, it was like a “story” unfolding through the video.
Thanks for showing your process on how you developed each version. Very cool.
Amazing, Izzy! Watching the design journey grow was fantastic. Also, I now know the difference between a push stick and a push shoe. 🙂
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.

Once again, You never fail to impress.
Such a truly gifted man.
Love your videos & everything you offer to the community...

To be honest...I'm interested in anything you do! Your work amazes me!! Blessings!!!
I've watched thousands of hours of woodworking videos and never heard the term push shoe. Learned something today
love this idea looks amazing your genius is showing
For large numbers of small stock pieces....definitely! I'll take 1 of each and go from there. GREAT BUILD!
Brilliant! Always impressed by your ingenuity.
Super cool thinking outside the box.
Nicely done!. If I were into wood working - I would want one!
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
I love it when Izzy go's down interesting an path!
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
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.
Top level innovation as usual. What a great evolution of the push shoe.
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...
Oh yeah, now that's cool. I love the iterative design process.
Great ideas. The one knob adjustable shoe makes a lot of sense to me. I can see having a few around the shop.
Wow, Izzy. Just wow!
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!
I love it. Can’t wait to have it available to purchase.
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!
Great design. Looking forward to seeing your build video
I really like both designs. I certainly would benefit from having both in my shop.
Excellent design. Very interested to see the next version.
Another amazing product from Izzy! WOW
Going by that thumb nail, that is too nice to use, super cool👍
It's brilliant! Both concepts are. I really enjoy uour videos, thank you for sharing!
Very clever and neat design. All the best with it.
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.
Awesome. Will be interesting to see the final product.
Another amazing innovation! I love your ideas.
Nice work & terrific design Izzy! Happy New Year! Looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2024! 👍👍💥💥
I really enjoyed this video. I hope you do follow up video(s) on these different versions of push shoes. They are all very good.
Wonderful design of the push shoe. Very interested in seeing any additional iterations. Happy New Year !!
To be honest I think both versions have a pace in the workshop. Both versions work really well.
Fantastic idea Izzy.
I just love the way your mind works. I would love to see plans in the future for any of those push shoes
This is absolutely brilliant Izzy....WOW!
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!!

Incredible ingenuity and love the creative process… Best believe whether you sell plans or come up with a CNC cut file, I’ll be purchasing one 👍🏼
I will buy two of them .Great design
Awesome, thank you!

That is epic. Thanks for sharing some of the process and thought process too
Nice one Izzy! Waiting for the video. Keep up the great ‘out of the box’ ideas.
I would love to have that shoe! What a fantastic design. You truly have a gift! Take it to market.
Thank you Izzy..
I know what I am making soon…
You are a genius… Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insight with us..
Happy New Year.
Cheers
Wow!! Izzy yes keep it coming looks like a long turn must have
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!
I thought the first one was awesome then I saw that last variation and it blew my mind. You're a wizard and an inspiration to a lot of us.
Looks amazing, definitely interested. Thanks
You always amaze me. Great job. Happy new year
Dude I found you by pure chance and I must say you’re a mad scientist with wood! Rock on 🤘🏽

Love it. Keep us updated on the progress.
You have some amazing inventions. I also would definitely buy one. Thank you for your awesome videos.
wonderful build.......you are a very talented guy!
Nicely done sir, that push shoe looks awesome!
Izzy, these are great and as soon as I saw it drop to Instagram, I suggested plans. I have been saving some scraps just in case your plans come available on your site. Great work and Happy new year Izzy.
To market! To market! Fantastic designs.
I really like that last version. Take care, and happy new year.
Great idea, very well thought out as always.
Wow! Amazing love this amazing design....I will definitely consider making one..
I like the auto adjust one bit the versatility of the take apart is awesome!
So far it's the best one I have seen. I always had a problem with the micro jig because of cost, 55 dollars and up was too much for a hunk of plastic. I am interested in this one. Timothy
Izzy, I really like the way your mind works. You have destroyed the box so don’t have to go outside, everything is out in the open. Thanks man.
