Stop block fence

So wanting to make a stop block fence for my CSMS for awhile now, just couldn't figure out how to make one that was portable. I have a work table on both sides of my CSMS but didn't want to lose it, and any stop block fence would usually be fixed to allow a precision measurement, so work table gone in that scenario. Sitting around the shop drinking a beer trying to figure this deal out, how to make a portable stop block fence...hhmmm...obviously any kind of temp or portable fence is hard because even a 1/16 inch change in position is unaceptable. so how to make it repeatable and accurate, then it hit me, looking at an old sheet rock square..hey that might work...now at 60 yrs old and with copd, my chances of doing any drywall work is next to nothing, so using it is not a big deal, I sure ain't gonna use it any time soon..lol...but looking at this drywall square the top of the tee looks like it would fit exactly between the CSMS and my worktable, and registered off the table top, repeatable for alignment...hhmmm,,,so I gave it a try, sure enough, dropped right down in there, so I cut off both sides of the T square to 5 inch's (more manageable, all I needed) and cut two pieces of 2x4 to fit for support 1/4 inch below the table top and 1/4 inch away from the top (T square has L bracket) pic one and the best part is (Gods are aligned on this one) the saws hold down swings right into position to hold the T square down...lol...how cool is that, and because the table is in perfect alignment with the saw, the fence is perfectly aligned with the saws fence...so just need to make a fence and mount it to the T square and I'm done. A repeatable position fence and portable. Couple pics of what I am talking about, will post updates after I make the fence and the adjustable stop just ordered the T track and adhesive measure tape, Rocklers had a sale for 48 in T track for $19.99 and 5 bucks for stick on tape measure, once they get here I'll make the fence and stop, probably use Cedar for the fence, it's lite and straight wood and maybe use Walnut for the stop block, make it pretty...lol...so when this is done when I don't need a fence and stop block, I just hang it on the wall, out of the way and I have full use of my table top...lol...how cool is that... at any rate will post updates as I proceed...
