Does anyone know where I could find a pattern for a tablesaw push stick on
the web that is comfortable to use? Regards. -Guy





here's what I do:

take a triangle of plywood. the last few I have made were the cutoff
from corner cabinets, but you could easily make your own triangles
G. a right triangle with sides of about 12 to 16 inches will be
about right. get out your most comfortable fitting handsaw, the one
that you can cut for hours with without getting blisters. lay the
triangle on the bench with the saw on top of it, with the spine of the
saw about parallel to one of the 90 degree sides. trace around the saw
handle. cut the line, sand round over and add a notch at the bottom to
push the board with.

I like that when holding this your fingers are curled up out of the
way.



That's exactly what I do, and it's worked out very well for me.
