The handles of the sushi boards are attached to the main board but brass rods… actually brass welding or brazing rods…
To cut these to the same length… yes another jig..
This jig is fairly basic and can be adapted to cut dowels etc..
Just a scrap of timber with two kerf cuts .. one along the board to capture the rod and one at 90 degrees for the saw.. in this case a hacksaw..
Just push the rod along the groove until it is at the end and then cut… you could have more grooves across the board for different lengths..
