I hope this is the right forum for my question.
I am making a feather board for my table saw using the design described here: http://www.table-saw-guide.com/featherboard.html
I do not have a router and so am going to drill holes and use my jig saw to cut the slots that allow the mitre slot runner to expand and the board itself to be repositioned.
My question: what's the correct way to secure a small workpiece while I cut with my jig saw? Do I need some kind of table under which to invert the saw (like a router table) or is there some other way that I could securely hold this 3/4" wide strip and have clearance underneath for the saw blade?
Thank you
