I strongly recommend, for a home made push device, one that hooks at
the back of the work and also has a long section that rests on top
of the work. You really want to also hold the work down in addition
to pushing. If you need a picture I can provide one.

The push sticks that simply push from the back scare the heck out of
me.

Whack a 2x6x8ft construction timber into 8 equal (12") pieces, then
either bandsaw a 3/8"x1-1/2"x11" piece away from bottom leaving a 1"
long
hook or epoxy a 3/8"x1-1/2"x1" piece to the 2x6 to form a hook.

Repeat on top of 2x6 to make two push sticks from each 2x6.
