CSMv1 Chopstick Master Gen.1

Fun, accurate and well designed

I have made several sets of chopsticks in different types of wood. That's a lot of fun. And it's a well-designed setup to make it nearly flawless to execute. We are having friends over for a Chinese dinner. And they're gonna to make their own chopsticks so they can be authentic. Would definitely recommend to fellow woodworker.

Excellent Tool for Precision Chopstick Making

I purchased the Chopstick Master Gen.1 and have been very impressed with both the design and performance. The machining and build quality are exactly what I would expect from Bridge City, solid, precise, and thoughtfully engineered. Setup was straightforward and once dialed in, the jig produces extremely consistent results. It saves a tremendous amount of time compared to shaping by hand, and the repeatability is fantastic for small batch production. The reference surfaces are true, adjustments hold firmly, and the overall workflow feels well planned. As someone making chopsticks from a variety of hardwoods, including dense exotic species, the tool handles them without issue and keeps everything aligned cleanly through each pass. Highly recommended for anyone serious about producing high quality, uniform chopsticks. Bridge City continues to deliver premium tools that justify their reputation.

Best DIY kit on the market

This is the most well-built, over-engineered chopstick maker one could ever ask for. - The kit is packed like nothing I have ever bought before, the boxing alone is a masterpiece. - The quality and finish of the hardware is second to none. - The engineering and thought that went into the design, make the results repeatable and amazingly consistent (even if you are not a master woodworker) If you have read this far, you should buy it. You will not be disappointed.
