- My Edge Jointer push pads kept slipping and sliding due to dust buildup and a push stick wasn't going to cut it. In this video I build a safety pushblock to alleviate that problem. For more woodworking insights, subscribe now! / @caddocreekwoodworks .
I did finally find the video that was the inspiration for this build over on The Build it Channel. Here's a link to that video • How to use a Jointer .

Grab your tools, follow along, and let's build this together! Enhance your shop, improve your workflow, and make woodworking even more enjoyable with a custom jointer push block that puts you in control.

Nice vid; I also loathe the push pads as I've had them slide and lose grip which only makes me paranoid around those blades. This is a great alternative, I'ma have to throw one of these together !
It only took a few hours to build and a lot of that was waiting on glue to dry. I've already used it several times and I love it, I have a lot more control with it. Thanks for watching and for the sub!
Love videos like this. Thank you.
If you’re looking for alternatives, Michael Fortune has amazing jointer push blocks. You can see them hanging near his jointers on a pillar. They’re bright orange.
I'll check out his channel! And you are most welcome, I'm working hard to get better at making videos. Comments like yours keep me motivated so thanks for that!
@@CaddoCreekWoodworks Just drool over Michael Fortunes marquetry and beautiful tables featuring nature shapes. He’s a master. Many fine woodworking articles and books. He teaches at the top two schools.
I have to ask one question, and that is hy you call this machine a Jointer. It is a mechanised version of a very old hand tool called a Jack Plane, so it's a 'Planer' or, as we called it in high school, a Buzzer Planer
It certainly does not make any 'Joints'
You are correct but that's typically how it is referred to here in the US. And a better name for the planer is a thicknesser. But, when in Rome...
Good idea. I’m going to make it too
Awesome! I'd love a pic when you get it finished. Thanks for watching!
Don't be too self-critical about your drawing or sketching skills, those mud-maps are just about getting your ideas onto paper to be able to refer back to later on.
The only time i try to do an accurate drawing is when I am figuring cutting up a new sheet of board for my latest project
LOL thanks for that! Sometimes figuring out my drawings is like trying to read a doctor's handwriting.
The hand holds have to be high enough to clear your rip fence.
That's a good point and something I should have mentioned in the video. Thanks so much for watching!
New Sub for you. Give you kudos for having the nerve to do this utube thing. Looking forward to see some more.
Yeah, I had analysis paralysis for quite awhile. I finally decided the hell with it and decided to quit saying "someday". Thanks so much. Every sub and every view keeps me motivated!
Thanks for the video. I also hate my push pads that came with my jointer. One question though. Why bother with the shellac for a shop tool? My table saw push blocks are raw wood and perform just fine. I'll admit though that I made them from white cedar, not plywood. Would that be the reason, plywood splinters?
Yes, I did it to keep the plywood from de-laminating over time and to keep it from splintering. But also, I saw a video of someone who said he tries to stain or paint his shop built items because if he's going to be out there using it, it might as well look nice! Thanks for watching!
@@CaddoCreekWoodworks I like your design, but I have a bunch of 2" thick white cedar I'll make it from.
@@sandmandave2008 That will be nice! Send me a pic when you get it built. I'd love to see it.
Nice.
What make is that black ruler?
Crescent Lufkin, I think Lowes has it. Thanks for watching!
0:20 Did you cuss?
I'm tellin'! 😮
Yes, the devil made me do it.
@CaddoCreekWoodworks
A likely story. I gave you a 👍 anyway. God made me do it. 😃
Sorry to rain on your parade but you dont understand how to joint boards. You start with the pressure on the infeed table but as the board becomes stable then the majority of the weight moves to the out feed table. Dependent on the board, if you keep tòo much pressure on the rear of the board the front can rise up and you will never achieve a flat surface. Two push pads are essential so you can transfer the pressure.
Yes, this is true. The transfer of weight from one surface of the jointer to the other is required to keep the board flat. Proper technique is required to get a flat board, which is one reason I made it so long. It is useful to use a known straight edge or a dead flat surface (such as a cast iron table saw top) to make sure you are getting flat boards. Thanks for pointing that out, and thanks for watching!
I really see this on long boards when jointing for tables I make.
@myhoneyshandmade1077 Yeah, the boards I'm doing right now are long and between 2 and 3 inches wide. They're the ones I got in my dumpster video from the cabinet shop. Thanks for watching!
@@CaddoCreekWoodworks dumpster diving a cabinet shop is how I started getting into hardwood.
