i cant post a pic, as i dont have one!

the tool is basicly a slab of wood, with a drop at the front, to hang over the bench
and raised wood at the back to hold your woodwork piece in place, so you can cut it with out it moving about

whole thing is about 12" long by 6" wide,
Grandson has to name it and alts uses, but cant remember its name

vague, me, no its all the others !!

any help appreciated

regards

steve

Bench hook not as stated in this link, bench STOP. And its being used incorrectly. You must have your thumb on the back of the workpiece or you risk it twisting when cutting and therefore possible distortion of the saw blade. There's educational for you eh?
