    This is how mine turned out, it uses 40 x 16mm T slot and some home made clamps and knobs with 6mm threaded rod of varying lengths.
    Dark patches on the bed are a result of the leveling process on birch plywood ( 2 x 18mm sheets)
    The layout looks fancy but I ordered 4 x 1m lengths of T slot with the initial idea of having all 4 spaced out but parallel to the long axis. I didn't like it after trying to clamps some wood down so changed it to what you see now, the best layout I could get without ordering more T slot.
