I have found that a featherboard makes a pretty good push stick. I use one feather against the fence, just before the blade. Then I push down and forward with a featherboard in my hand. Once the push stick, or feather board, is notched at the cut you can push it through without moving around.

Definately stay out of the line of fire. But I always work alone. I guess two for three isnt bad :)
