The fence it the bit of wood that acts as the guide when you're cutting. It must be adjustable but firm enough to allow consistent cuts.

I had some 1x4 lumber in the garage, so I used it. I tried to cancel out errors in the wood by screwing them together at right angles so that their cross-section was L-shaped. I was working with pine, so I pre-drilled my holes. The edge of the fence needs to be smooth, so I counter bored holes with a 1/2" spade bit.
