    My day so far finish work night shift. Watch this video with a coffee 930 out to the shed made a saw handle push stick and a paddle push stick wife comes out with a coffee ask “what have you been doing “ I smile and say having some fun Thanks for the inspiration Mark Bedtime now good night
  • For a push stick: I replace a 10-toothed/in hand saw with a new one. Took the old blade out of the handle; and used the handle to receive a thoughtfully cut piece of 1/4" ply. Best DIY tool I have made to date.   Replacement 1/4" ply "push blades" ready and waiting.

    Pretty cool ! Now all I need is a woodworking table 😊
  • New sub, thanks for the content. I'm a retired General Building Contractor, Carpenter, and Craftsman. I'm impressed with your skill in design and fabrication and your depth of knowledge. These things are not common in young people like yourself. I look forward to seeing more from your channel.
  • keep doing what your doing, don't change anything. the variety you provide is great
  • @sk13ppy
    Loads of information, no music, from a happy knowledgeable guy, what more could we ask for! Awesome stuff, thank you very much. ♥

    My father was a skilled cabinet maker. If he taught me nothing else, it was that you buy nothing you can make yourself. That even extended into other fields. A keen photographer in the days of film and developing, I owned 4 enlargers over the years. The best by far was the one I built myself. And in 40 years of woodwork, before osteo-arthritis put paid to it, half my tools were made in my own workshop. From granny's tooth to router table. Not just to save money, but because - for my own individual use - the results were better than commercial tools. But I learned one lesson more than any other. No task-speciality jig was ever a waste of the time it took to make. Most are still hanging there. Hopefully others will find a use for them.

    The plywood to make those cookies now costs more to buy than buying pre-made cookies, lol.
  • I really liked this video, but I loved the last few minutes, thank you
  • Pro tip : when using a hole saw , allow the 1/4" pilot to go through the stock and the hole saw to cut into the face about 1/4". Then drill from the other side. This will prevent blowout on the other face.
  • @jimrosson6702
    Absolutely great video Mark so many great ideas to give a try to make. Thanks as always for sharing. Have a great week.

    Back to your core calling, Mark. This was a treasure chest of ideas and tips. I loved it! Liked your bench cookies. I bought a pack of foam practice ice hockey pucks that do the same job for a fraction of the price of the real McCoys, but making a French cleat for the cookies… that was class! Going to make me one of those. I liked the rubber based push stick solutions, too, and the router table push stick-square-jig-solution-thingy. Will give that a try. I also really liked the change in camera angle. I know it was because that’s the end of your table saw, but it meant I could get a good gander at that end of the cleat wall too. 😂

    When I saw the thumbnail I thought the planing stop was a boot jack 😂
  • @worstworkshop
    Brilliant! I do the same. When I get a little time, I grab some scraps and see what comes together. Great video.
  • Excellent video as always. It is easy to get overwhelmed by procrastination in the shed. Having some simple projects up your sleeve to get past that are always useful. Keep up the great work.
  • I know what you mean and they little wins. My workshop is a mess at the moment. I stopped tidying and made a storage solution for my drill/driver/glue gun and felt a lot better for it. Still need to tidy up the workspace but at least I know where my most used tools will always be now 😀
  • You've helped me no end. Even whetting my appetite to adapt your ideas has helped me to get the ball rolling and sawdust flying. Great way to keep my mind occupied and my limbs busy #thanks 🙃
  • @seedy1959
    My little workshop is my happy place!!!
  • @Rood67
    One of the quickest subscriptions I have ever clicked. Great info, excellent presentation, and most of all, no tools costing thousands of dollars that I may never own were used.
  • Great video, the solution for "bad dog holes" is brilliant make it into a short..
