Hi Ken
That sounds like it would work great

I'm a cheap SOB and I don't have any OP push handles

but along time ago I got a B & D push stick and have used it for may handles for jigs ,,,
I didn't care for the B & D push stick because it is/was so thin but I do use it from time to time to rip thin stock on the table saw but I now have a new jig to do that and it's alot easyer and a bit more safe than traping the stock ,I can now rip 1/8" and 1/4" banding that comes out right on the button

But back to the Push handle I used the B & D for a template pattern and some MDF stock to give it more mass and to fit my hand, they come out to 1 1/4" wide, that helps with my big hands and just the right size for me...I have one or two with the dovetail key on them but I do like to glue and screw them in place...
Here's a snapshot or two of the B & D one I use for the patterns ,I just stick them on the stock and use the trim bit to make new ones...
