Using a Push Block
1.
Place the lip of the push block (Figure 122,
Page 63) against the end of the workpiece,
and use steady downward and forward pres-
sure to push the workpiece into the blade.
Use a push stick to apply sideways pres-
sure on the workpiece to keep it held firmly
against the fence, as shown in the example
of Figure 123).

release the push stick just before the blade,
(see Figure 123).

Note: We recommend cutting the hardwood
board oversize, then jointing and planing it
to the correct size to make sure the board is
square and flat.
Only use furniture-grade plywood or kiln-
dried hardwood to prevent warping.
2.
Pre-drill and countersink eight pilot holes
in from the edge of the 6" wide board, as
shown in Figure 125, for the wood screws
that will attach the boards together in next
step.
