This video is an accompaniment to an article I wrote for the June 2009 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine. The video focuses on featherboards and push sticks, and the article covers a broader selection of safety issues.

  • Your videos are great!Quick question.What is the table saw you are using? 

  • @hugitibugiti That is a modified PM2000. Just has a fancy paint job.

  • Mark, first off your videos are great. just a video idea, white glue vs. yellow glue. the current shop i work at used white glue for years, however when i got hired i suggested to switch to yellow, since we work on high end pieces. Ive seen you use Titebond II is that your general everyday glue?

  • @joe65968 Yeah it is. But that's just usually what I end up purchasing when I run out just because its convenient, and if I need something with water resistance I have it. But there isn't a whole lot of difference between white and yellow glue. And for interior furniture, either one will give sufficient bond strength.

  • Great video, Clear and concise and to the point.

    It must be very satisfying running a business that your passionate about and at the same time sharing your knowledge with people who appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Do you have any DVD's for sale? I really want to get my 10 year old son into woodworking, and I'm trying to find a home study course that explains the math and tools involved.

  • @CommonSensePete Thanks Pete. I do sell some DVDs. I wouldn't call them comprehensive studies exactly, but they are on various topics and projects. You can check them out at shop thewoodwhisperer com (dots removed because I can't post links in comments.)

  • Great information, and great shirt.

  • @TheWoodWhisperer we were finding that that white glue was not holding up, after many domino joints failed, solid laminations spread apart too. we were also getting furniture back with failed joinery. it also is impossible to sand, it gums up quickly unlike Titebond II or III. It would be interesting to do a video on glues. 2

  • what a dream shop that you have. If i would win a million, i would have a shop like you

  • Thanks for the info, I live in a far away small town down in Mexico and have two carpenters friends that have a missing finger or two because of cutting wood pushing with their hands, one of them sold me all his tools because he cant work no more with one hand, Im gonna build some push sticks from scrap, no way to get down here those fancy plastic sticks, thanks again .
