• a first downwardly projecting extending member adapted to extend into a kerf cut into a board, the first extending member comprising a contacting surface for making contact with a first side of the kerf;
• a first plurality of guide holes formed at predetermined locations relative to the first extending member, the first guide holes adapted to guide a drill bit for creating a respective first plurality of splitter location holes in a table saw work surface used to create the kerf;
• and
• an upwardly projecting pedestal;
• an adjustable drill guide comprising:
• a second downwardly extending member adapted to extend into the kerf;
• a slot for receiving the upwardly projecting pedestal and allowing the second downwardly extending member to be moved from side to side within the kerf to make selective contact with either the first side or a second side of the kerf;
• and
• a second plurality of guide holes formed at predetermined locations relative to the second extending member, the second guide holes adapted to guide a drill bit for creating a respective second plurality of splitter location holes in the table saw work surface;
