Step 8 Cut four little wooden block

I took my big 8 feets long piece of wood and cut it into 4 little peace of wooden.

They measure 2,7cm ( 1.063" ) long.

I was very lucky because that was the perfect measurement and everything fit snuggly.

Just a quick (but important) note about table saw safety. Having that small block of wood loose between the fence and the blade is very dangerous because it could easily bind between the fence and the blade and get kicked back fast enough to do damage to you or anything behind you. The safe way to make the cut shown would be to use a miter gauge (I'm assuming you did do that) and a stop block (small block of wood clamped to the fence a few inches back from the blade). Line up the cut by pushing the end of the board against the stop block (having adjusted the fence accordingly) and then use the miter gauge to push the board forward into the blade. This way the fence is far enough away from the blade so that the block can't get bound between them and shot back.
