Project Information
Made a push stick holster/holder that hangs on my fence to keep the sticks close at hand and easily reachable when needed.
Cut the shapes of the push sticks out of a piece of 7/8" thick stock, then glued a 1/4" face on the outside.
No inside wall needed since the fence is there.
It's hangs on the fence, no fasteners, so if it's ever in the way or I need to use a guide that attaches to my fence, I can just lift the holster/holder off the fence and set it aside.
Holds my large heel pusher, two smaller heel pushers and my think strip pusher (the oak one in the pic I just made today as the previous one was pretty much gone)
Holder for a couple pencils and the 6" metal rule I keep at the saw.
May add a little front extension to hold the dust collector remote
I also keep a 6" flat square at the saw for setting bit depth. Couldn't figure out a good way to include it in this holder. Any ideas?
The only challenge on this one was making the slots for each push stick such that each push stick will not tip or shake out of it's shallow holder. The two long handled pushsticks in the middle were the trickiest. The walnut one you push the nose in first, then rotate it down into it's holster. The plywood pushstick is the opposite, you insert the tail first, then rotate the nose down in.
You can see my do-over in the last picture. The front slot was for my left-hand long straight push stick. Once in place though, it stuck up too high and in the way, so I removed it and made a little block to fit in it's slot to hold a couple pencils and the 6" metal rule I keep at the saw. Later I'll make a little holder for the left-hand push stick on the left side of the saw table.
Few test cuts, so far nothing seems to be in the way, and everything feels quite secure in their holsters.
