NOTE: The mitered corners can be any
size that looks like the drawing (about 1-1/2"

Putting it Together
Using good quality woodworking glue,
glue the 3/8" x 3/8" x 2-1/2" piece strip

in the event you cut into the push block.
Position the handle at the center of the
plywood base as shown. Fasten them
together with glue and wood screws.
IMPORTANT: Make sure the screw heads
do not stick out from the bottom of the
base, they must be flush or recessed. The
bottom must be flat and smooth enough
to slide along the auxiliary fence you are
now ready to make.
