Make Awesome Push Sticks Production Mode 

Sorry everyone. I overlooked showing cutting the notch on the bottom of the push stick. I cut it on the Table saw 5/16th from bottom and stop shy 2-3/8 from the end, then finish it off with the band saw. It was a long day filming.

William I learn so much from watching your videos. This one isn't so much about the push stick but about some of the clever techniques you use. Some examples include (1) mounting the jig saw upside-down, (2) using the drill press stop, and (3) using the router and table to make a smooth straight edge to connect the two circular areas.

Glad to see you back in action... I throughly enjoy your project-builds and your humor... Keep-up the Great work...

I sure wish William would make more videos! Always great stuff and I enjoy the little bit of humor sprinkled in.

I love your videos, work, instruction, and sense of humor. I'm glad you're posting again! Welcome back!

William: a great lesson for me as a box maker Wise time up front for a practical production run. Clear and to the point. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Ng, I enjoy your videos because regardless of how simple a project might seem I always learn from you.

I recently discovered your channel and watched everything you had posted, and was sad to see at the time you had only made a few videos in the past few years. Glad to see so much new content recently!! Welcome back.

Thank you, sir. This was the calmest video I've ever seen about woodworking. I love you call, thought-through approach to something as mundane as a pushstick. Nothing fancy, but it's gloriously thorough and calm. Again, thank you.

Thank you William, it was very informative to see how you handle production mode and everything that allows you to set up for it

Thanks for posting yet another informative video William. The subject doesn’t always matter, I always learn something, mainly how to work with precision. Hope you have the time and energy to post many more!

Awesome video William. Love the jigsaw jig. Think safety, and act safely. 👍👍👍👍👍

I can't speak for everyone, but I for one really like your videos and you are so blessed to be able to work in a shop that most of us can only drool all over. Thanks for continuing your videos.

Happy to see you back on the air. Always good stuff here!

I am so glad you are back at it. Please keep the videos coming. You are an inspiration!

So glad to see you making videos again. I very much enjoy your teaching technique, it works well for me.

Thanks for all your informative videos...

We all need push sticks so thank you for sharing how you make them in bulk! I always enjoy your videos. Your instructions are great and you are obviously a wonderful instructor. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Omg! So happy you are back! Thank you.

Missed seeing your videos, glad that you are back at it. Keep em coming, I enjoy them very much.

It’s always a pleasure seeing you in action , specially when at the end I see myself with a smile in the face. Thanks for the funny lessons!

You are the best woodwork instructor ever! The skills you show are transferable to many other applications and are the solution to shoddy workmanship and inconsistent results.Bravo!

William, your methodology screams "COMMON SENSE APPROACH" resulting in what I'm sure all will agree are envious results. I have thoroughly enjoyed and learned a lot from every video you have posted. The one I enjoyed the most is "5 cuts to a perfect crosscut sled" or something like that. Glad to see you back. Thanks for sharing

Holly you are a genius. Your methods of wood working are extremely efficient

I love how precise you are. Some might say it is overkill on a push stick but I love it. Thanks for your videos. 👍🏼

As others noted, glad to see you making videos again. Your talent has been sorely missed. Others seem to agree, posted one day, over 28,000 views. Wow. Excellent shop projects. 👏👏

Great video.....very nice to have you back especially with these little shop safety helpers

Great video. Your sense of humor and knowledge always makes it fun to watch your content. Keep it up!

Nice jig setup! Talk about mass production! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you go through the steps! Well done!

Thank you very much for sharing these videos to the world. So much information and technique. Take care and stay safe Mr Ng. Thanks-From Australia

I am so happy you are back!!!!

I keep watching your videos over and over . There’s always something left to learn!!!❤❤❤❤

Thanks. Keep the videos coming.

Such attention to detail! William Ng is awesome.

Great to see you back in action, welcome back 👍🏻

Thanks very much William great video.

In making a simple thing like a push stick you teach so many techniques. Thanks for a great and informative lesson!

Best push block i have used, thanks....

Your videos are amazing! I've watched your cross-cut sled video probably 10 times from start to finish. I've watched it when I was depressed because I like to see videos of people who love perfection. I see you as one of those people and I would love to work with you or take a class with you. I am the same way but am still working on achieving that status. I cheat often and get real close. nobody ever knows if I'm off on a build but I still want to raise the bar. I'm 51 and have been in the shop since I was 8. My life long neighbor was a master custom cabinet and counter top maker. He taught me that every line has 3 sides. A left, a right and a center. Same with a blade. I was 8 or 9 when I learned about the kerf. I know that inexpensive squares are not always 90 degrees. With that all being said, I've noticed that you use the expensive Starrett tools and so do I. You sometimes use an adjustable square, probably from the box store or local hardware store. What is your thought process with using an expensive square vs the $10.00 adjustable square that can be 89.8 degrees? It's kind of hard to believe you even own them. LOL!

Always enjoyable to watch a master at work. Quality is contagious & you sir, do serious quality work!

Thanks William. i've been wanting to make my own push blocks for awhile. It will be nice to practice at making a template as well. Appreciate your videos.

Another excellent video. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

I always learn from your methods and practices. Thanks

Had I known this was your next video I would have waited. On Friday I made 3 of those. Of course mine aren't swept back, rounded, sanded and I'm not going to make a hundred but they work just like yours. Next time I'll tweak them to your standards and make a bunch of stocking stuffers. Thanks for taking the time to make videos and get all this valuable information to me.

Nice push stick design. Great tips on using the jig saw. Thanks for sharing both!

Good seeing you with your awesome techniques! Salute from Fortaleza, Brazil!👍

Nicely Done Great Job And Nice To See You Again

So many clever & simple details how to achieve something, great!

William, I enjoy your videos very much keep them coming.

I enjoyed seeing your production techniques... Very Clever Indeed, Greg

that is the most precision engineered push block ever and i tell you what, i'm here for it

Awesome. I learned a few tricks and techniques from you making a seemingly simple push stick. I'd never seen the inverted jig saw Thanks.

Please don’t let the relatively few negative comments discourage you from making videos. Your videos are wonderful and so are you.

Such a pleasure to see your mind in action 👍

I got some great pieces of advice! Really enjoy your videos, keep up the good work William :-)

I always learn something from you. Thanks for sharing.

William, I very much enjoy your videos.

Gained some great production ideas i never thought of!

wondering video! thank you!

Most enjoyable thanks for the instruction

Thanks for sharing the idea.

yeah, it is about time to make more push sticks in my shop. Good idea!

What a fantastic lesson! I used your 5 cut method for my crosscut sled and it turned out more accurate than my Magnusson square! 😂😂 I'm going to follow this lesson and see how I get on. Thanks William! 👍

Thanks for going over the production process

William I do what you did in 10 minutes what took you 42 to do. But I will hand ya this,,,, there isn’t a more precise custom push stick out there and I promise you there isn’t anyone teaching like you are. Your awesome and I have to watch some videos a couple times to follow along and get it, but we’ll worth the time it takes me. Thank you for your teachings.

Love the videos. Keep them coming.

Great video to illustrate the steps to produce jigs in a production environment,

Good ideas William. I like your attention to detail.

Very interesting to watch a master craftsman go from machine to machine to get the straight cut instead of just using the jig saw like to rest of us to get a wavy line. Well done. I have to watch this several times to add those little multi-tool steps to my future work. Probably should do a bunch of these push sticks to get the steps embedded in my little brain.

Glad you're back, you have some of the clearest and most rational videos. Hope the comments don't go south on you again.

A very good video on production woodworking.

Good information William.

Awesome stuff seeing how you walk through making the jig. Super useful!!! That said, I couldn't be happier to walk over to some new-age equipment with such a repetitive process lol.

Pretty comprehensive thanks.

Who are these people that dislike your video, you’re amazing keep it up!

Great job God bless.

Thanks for the education.

Thise push sticks look like a great intro project for students. Tools, jigs, and innovation all included with no real risk to expensive wood. I have to admit I use store bought sticks or one I make in 30 seconds if I can't find the others. 😊

Oh man, this was great! Just found your channel- subbed. Thanks!

Do not judge a woodworker by his push stick course everyone has their favorite shape of a push stick. Like all grandmas has a favorite recipe for apple pie ;-) Nice production Mr. Ng and I think we all hope you make more videos like this

Nice tip on mounting jig saw

Really glad your making some new videos, hope the school is doing well with all the virus stuff going around.

I was impressed by how well your Forstner bit cuts. Maybe you could do a video showing how you sharpen them.

As always, I learn stuff. Nice jigsaw table, especially the saw clamping cleats. I have to do something similar with a skilsaw. I'm making a California King platform bed (Some people make the bed. I MAKE the bed.) and have to temporarily make a table saw because my shop's not big enough to handle the size of the bed parts. Thanks much for the ideas. Thumbs up to crush a troll.

A bit disappointed at the lack of jokes in this video William, but thoroughly enjoyed it and useful. I will be making some of these in the next week. Thank you for putting in the time and effort for the videos.

ya know.. there is a million push block templates/styles around. These are awesome and I've just about worn out the 2 I bought but I have the template also and now a huge laser so I can cut them out in about 2 minutes each. You also might want to update the verbiage to say "most people just go down to the home depot and get a sheet of construction grade plywood for about $2000" LOL Thanks William!

I don't even need any more push sticks, but I'm absolutely watching the whole thing. And I'm definitely making that jigsaw uh, jig.

Wait,, You have putty??? So glad you are back. Love my cross cut sled BTW. super accurate, thx.

Love your precision measuring instruments, William - - - an Incra rule (I have a nice assortment of those), a can of putty, a can of spray glue. Hey, that's how the Wright Bros. got started building airplanes and we all know how that worked out. Excellent video, as always; stay safe and well out there!

Agree on the two sticks to push! Dangerous!!! Or the guys that reach on the out feed side! I've been a cabinet maker for 35 years still have ALL my fingers

William, where did you go? Nothing for more than a year? We miss your wisdom and humor - come back, Shane, come back!!

great, so many students

That jigsaw jig! It's gonna be my poor mans scroll saw!! Love it!

You're a treasure!

I so enjoy your videos. You challenge me

I've tried the "two stick" method and it didn't feel right for me, so I went to a similar style to what you're building here and it felt much better and I had much more control while keeping my fingers out of harms way.

I can't wait to fill my wife's stocking with a dozen plywood pushsticks.

I’m going to have to make me some of those 👍 for the video

thanks

I made this push stick and I found that it is much easier to use if the handle is verticle at the 13 degree angle along the edge
