*% Make a series of end cuts with the grain, approximately 3⁄8"–1⁄4" apart and 2"–3" long, as shown in =`^li\.'(A).

Alternatively, start cuts at 2"-3" deep, then make them progressively deeper, as shown in =`^li\.'

(B).

@DGFIK8EK1 Cuts made across the grain will result in weak fingers that easily break when flexed. When made correctly, the fingers should withstand flexing from moderate pressure. To test the finger flexibility, push firmly on the ends with your thumb. If the fingers do not flex, they are likely too thick (the cuts are too far apart).

+% Rout a 1⁄4"–3⁄8" wide slot 4"–5" long in the workpiece and 1"–2" from the short end of the featherboard (see =`^li\.().

.% Mark a 4" line through the center of the countersunk hole, then use a jig saw with a narrow blade to cut it out.

/% Assemble the miter bar and featherboard with a 1⁄4"- 20 x flat head screw, flat washer, and a wing nut or a star knob (see =`^li\.*). Congratulations! Your featherboard is complete.
