I want to do something similar and would like to know the answer to the above question.

Used 1/8 balsa glued into a V shape, than glued on the flippers.

They're Quaker Oats though and the box is of the modern design so on second thought. Could probably find some original ones on Ebay though. All kidding aside, I'm going to make two balsa half rounds or corner moldings and glue them in there with the faces along the axis which should allow a pretty tight seal. Thanks for all the ideas as usual!

I just finished building mine and really like the look of yours. Thanks Kelly Klaus Building NX45KK do not archive. -------- Kelly Klaus do not archive.

The main point is to have the notch on the block pull the part through without your hands being anywhere near the blade. The featherboards hold the workpiece against the fence. Various positioning of the featherboards can reduce the kickback at the end of the cut.... -------- Jake Schultz - curator, Newport Way Air Museum (OK, it's just my home) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=377371#377371 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/push_block_2_215.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/push_block_136.jpg ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:02:28 PM PST US Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Jake Schultz' table saw push block From: "Bill Church" Interesting push block, Jake. At first glance I couldn't figure out what the black "blob" was. Then I realized that it was to show where the hand and thumb are to be positioned. But the real reason for my comment is regarding the second photo. The setup you have is unconventional, and probably not a good idea. You've got two featherboards in use - one of them is fine, but the second one is pressing the wood against the blade. Featherboards really should only be used to hold the stock against the fence BEFORE the stock reaches the blade, not at the blade, or after the cut. Bill C.
