I've seen guys use two seperate bird's mouth push sticks to try to push
the stock through the blade AND hold it down at the front.

Again I ask, why not use a simple shoe type push guide that controls the
stock in both directions and only takes one hand to use?



I have both types. Once I made the shoe type, I don't think I ever used
the bird again. The one I made has a handle like a handsaw and you can
get a firm grip on it.
