To each his own and I think after making the push stick I won't use it mostly cause I'm nervous about finger holes over handles and the location of the finger holes.
I have had a few scary kick backs in the past so Im probably overly nervous. But the finger holes make me nervous because if something goes wrong I can't just let go I also have to try and get my fingers out. I also don't like that the finger holes are sorta lower than I'm comfortable with. if my blade is higher I don't want to have to think about if my fingers are too low.
I will say it has a ton of control when I used it and the plans were SO easy to use. I have already started searching for more plans from Jonathan because this was just plain easy. If you're concerns aren't my concerns you're gonna love this thing it's a really steady tool for sure and again, the plans!
Love what your doing Johnathan! I'm just a nervous Nelly.
