I like your idea of insetting pieces instead of the standard epoxy pour. I've two suggestions: 1. Instead of making the Z shaped clamps, you could have purchased longer bolts for the clamps. 2. Instead of jogging the router around the piece to establish the start and end points of all the mortises, you could have measured them yourself, directly off the table. You know where the home position is, so using that, place a carpenter's square on the table at that location then take measurements off of it. And as you said, you don't have to be very accurate, so this method should be just fine. Again, I really like what you've done here. Good going and thanks for sharing it with us.
