I am subscribing mainly because I like your work and teaching method, but secondly because you actually TALK and do not play crap music!!!

[@jamesbrunk9817]

Made one not too long ago. I use it on jointer, router table and table saw. So instead of metal screws, I used dowels- if I screw up and a blade hits the push block, the dowels will not damage the blade. Like you did on the cleat. I put my cleat on the back, fastened with nylon bolts into tapped holes. Also, I used tool box drawer liner on the bottom for grip.

[@billqqq]

Fairly disappointed that Rob didn't find a way to incorporate at least one dovetail in these pushblocks.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Luther said I couldn’t! Blame him!

[@Andrea-bw8xm]

Yes...but he did get the 5 1/2 in!!

[@stevejez]

Could have used a nice through wedged tenon on the handles, no screws needed !!🙂

[@JamesWilliams-en3os]

😂

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

I know, right!

[@chrismodinger9646]

@RobCosman, Thank You! I made a pair of your push blocks and i love them. TY!

[@briannelson4122]

Love the "hockey stick" wrap on the clamp handle! It's almost that time of year!!

[@kenstewart687]

Thank you!

[@RodneyMcKee]

will be making a pair of these!

[@David_K_Dickson]

Thank you, Rob. Simple but effective. 😊

[@artswri]

Nicely done, handy and very functional. Thank you!

[@scottbrader-kd9vyy225]

I can't wait to make a set of these for my shop! Thanks for sharing!

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Super easy and quick good luck

[@northernhumidor5615]

Great project.

[@kevinbourke7800]

Thanks for yet another clear, useful clip! Have two of the same Bosch cordless drills which I swore by until the newer one’s chuck started to loosen during use to the point of dropping the bit …

[@hassanal-mosawi4235]

Thanks for sharing those tips and the make!

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

You keep watching and will keep making them

[@histershellac2842]

just a darn good idea

[@chuckabell7456]

Did I just see Rob use sandpaper and not a block plane? My eyes must be deceiving me! Ha Ha.

[@SenorPickles946]

Just got my first jointer I will be making these ASAP

[@poppamad979]

Thanks. Never used push blocks till I got my new 8" jointer and it came with two freebies. But, they are a bit small. So if I am going to be smarter and safer, I may as well do it right. Will have to try your design. Thanks for sharing.

[@rayhosking3927]

Thanks Rob, prompted me to make some today, my cheap plastic ones were an accident waiting to happen!

[@MaxMustermann-yj1wz]

I really liked the one you made for the table saw, made the same with a thick pice of wood. Loveing it 😘

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Glad you’re having success with it

[@norm5785]

Wonderful plan for these. Thank you for sharing your awesome project with us today, Stay safe, happy and healthy, from Henrico County Virginia

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Glad you liked it

[@kentboys5017]

Thank you for sharing the way you make your tools to stay safe. The design is simple and logical. It allows you to push the piece through the jointer more effectively and is safer at the same time. Great video! Take care.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Kent you are the man thanks for commenting

[@kentboys5017]

@@RobCosmanWoodworking glad I am appreciated. Lol

[@donwilliams3626]

Nice design. My dad made a push block like it over 50 years ago. It still hangs on a nail over the jointer. It is my go to safety tool every time I run a board flat across the jointer.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Wow so that’s a 50 year push block mine was only a 30 year push block!

[@donwilliams3626]

@@RobCosmanWoodworking From the looks of yours it still has plenty of life in it. Thanks for sharing your new and improved version.

[@shawnwoodsman]

Love these shorter videos

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

We’re trying to do one a week now

[@thefalcon666]

Ah, gotta leave it to Rob to bust out the handplane on the plywood! Lol. I'd add a label on the pushblocks (Front, back, etc) so when you reach for them you don't have to see which one goes where .... or make the handle for the rear one out of walnut

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Excellent idea

[@Rossco242424]

Rob, are you spying on me!!?? Eerily good timing on this video.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Yes we had video and audio installed in your house

[@dalemoore692]

I love the videos. Each one gives helpful knowledge to improve quality and safety. Learning from those who have learned what works and what doesn’t, what is the best way to complete a task safely is value that cannot be overstated.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Very well said

[@terrygage6958]

Hey Rob great video as always. I just wondered how do you like that lux cut cutterhead on your jointer and have you ever used the byrd shelix or anything similar to the Byrd shelix and if so how would you compare them. I have the delta 37-190 and was thinking of getting the lux cut cutterhead for it. Thanks in advance.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Hey Terry, this is actually the Byrd head. It’s the only brand I have used. Highly recommend them.

[@laurentiustanea7840]

@@RobCosmanWoodworking Rob, did you ever need to rotate the knives due to being dull?

[@dien2no423]

Does anyone on this site know what I should grind my 10 inch table saw blade for a 1:8 dovetail? Thank you

[@dukeengine1339]

It's not the first time I see you doing this and I wanna ask now: you use the Bosch driller to drill holes, why do you screw in the screws by hand and not with the driller?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Mostly because I don’t want to go grab a bit when my screwdrivers are right behind me, but also because I don’t like changing out the bits if I have multiple holes to drill and screw in, and I’m not always sure where another drill is.

[@dukeengine1339]

@@RobCosmanWoodworking you see? I was waiting for an answer like "the screws are that sensitive that I don't want to overheat them" or "stressing the fibers with a driller vibrations acts like an earthquake on woods" or other wisdom stuff... Ha ha ha!!! 🙏🏻🌞

[@henrysara7716]

Thy Rob

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

You bet

[@jamescripps9361]

Why not hold the handle in the bench vise while routing the round over?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Well the best way would be to use a router table and move the handle over the router but I don’t have one of those so it’s better than to keep the handle flat on the table and route so that I’m holding the router vertically versus horizontally like I would have to do if I put it in the vice

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

My jointer is the scariest tool in my shop.

[@arthurjackson]

Those cheap plastic push blocks are horrible! The sponge rubber bottoms work well for a board or two then they pick up dust and slip like crazy. I like the sandpaper idea, I’ll be doing that from now on. Thanks!

[@J.A.Smith2397]

I think it was stumpy nubs, finger slipped in n got the tip. Think it was a jointer or router can't remember

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

That had to hurt

[@J.A.Smith2397]

@@RobCosmanWoodworking just thought of it it weren't stumpy nubs even though the names fitting it was katz Moses and pretty sure it was a jointer

[@Brough_builds]

Just out of interest, do you watch/subscribe to any woodworkers on KZbin ?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

Not really

[@David_K_Dickson]

For ANY KZbin channel, go to the channel's home page, then select the "Channels" tab and it will show you. Hope this helps.

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

I subscribed to a few to help them out but since I spend a good part of my week filming them I don’t feel like spending the other part watching.
