Found an old shop display board and made it fit onto my workmate. Prototype 1 is alot simpler than what I was planning. Two parallel rails, one perpendicular centre board, one slot and using the router fence guide started testing some timber Im going to plane for my first 2 builds...a tele and a custom double cutaway.
Results not too bad but I need some adjustments. I also want to modify so I can also use a belt sander with it and an electric plane.
Prototype 1 - Router only.

nice one
though i would set up the parallel rails as close as possible so tht the perpendicular length on which the router sits on is minimised ...otherwise there could possibly be a little 'sag' in the middle of the board leading to a slightly deeper rout around tht area
tht would be the one thing to make as rigid as possibleLooking for

That piece of MDF is pretty stiff. But I comletely understand the issue. I think I can add a support on the left side where the router guide slides to stop any bowing. I need to make mods now to accomodate the electric plabe and the portable belt sander.
