...that I used mostly hand tools to make a power tool accessory? I needed a good push stick for my table saw, but daylight was running out so I took a long scrap of plywood, cut a piece off of the end for the vertical handle, and a short piece for the "hook" and dowelled all three pieces together. Aside from the power drill, the rest of the push stick was hand cut and fitted. :)

It should be clear that you need a hand drill, but which one? Egg beater, brace, push, perhaps all three! Maybe even several of each type for convience? Sorry my friend but the slippery slope is calling. Good luck!

I think the more obvious choice would be to get rid of the table saw and buy a vintage Disston...:p Then I wouldn't need any push sticks! :D

You can use the tables saw with some sandpaper to flatten your plane soles.
Put some plastic over it and it also makes a good assembly table.
Lots of uses for a table saw.
