Custom Push Stick From Tiger Maple and Morado

I had a few hours of down time while my older daughter Maya was completing some steps on a couple of customer projects, so Sai and I took the time to make a much needed custom push stick. One that was slightly longer than normal.

I Frequently rip shorter lengths of wood in the 2 – 3 feet range, and I am always wanting a push stick that can apply more downward force on the end of wood that is farther from me. A longer push stick will really help with this. I also wanted a push stick that is wider then the standard ¾” size I see everywhere. When I try to apply forward downward force on a narrow push stick, it will sometimes wobble side to side, which isn’t safe. Finally, I wanted a catch or hook piece on the end that I can replace after it gets a bunch of cuts through it from going over the blade.

This push stick met all of these requirements, and I got to build it out of one of my favorite exotics, Morado. Also called Bolivian Rosewood. It is a quick and easy project that only takes a couple of hours. You can of course, make this from any wood you like.

We are also including a free set of plans that you can download if you are interested.

I love the running jokes about the amount of glue! 😂

So to keep each piece from slipping when trying to clamp up, do you recommend hammering in a few small brad nails and clip off the heads, or to throw some salt into the glue?

If I start with a new bottle of wood glue and there's still some left at the bottom of the bottle, should I add the rest?

You are probably not the person to ask, but do you know what the typical shelf life of wood glue might be?
