Shark push sticks

Shall I give them eyes as well?

Well you gave the brogues eyes, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to lace them.

The "Mathias Wandel" push stick isn't Wandel's at all it's the bog standard pattern - and the best IMHO.
Just thought I'd mention it because as well as the expensive gear freakery we are subjected to daily, there is also a strong gurufication tendency. Some of these would-be gurus are utter terwats and should be ignored!

This is my push stick, it's a bit wonky and boring but it does work, I have 2 more patterned out, just need to cut them out with the jigsaw.

Hi Jacob, re Wandel, yes, (adopts Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau voice) 'I know, I know' - he says as much himself in one of his videos: his first ones came with a tool he acquired. I wondered when someone would pick me up on that. But for a lot of folks, especially avid YouTube viewers, myself included, the two types of push-sticks I've made are often associated with those two very popular Canadian woodworkers, Wandel and Heisz. I don't guru-fy them or anyone else, I'm way too ornery and independently-minded for that. But I do admire skill and imagination, and those guys (along with many others) have both, in more than the usual measures. But fair points, nevertheless. Regards, Seb

As soon as I gave the sharks eyes, they tried to bite my legs off!

And it looks like they may have bitten something else off, already!!
