Has anybody tried this?

I was thinking about making one just like this. Sure is tempting.
Glad to see you are making your own. That is a high price for what looks like a simple build. Go for it.
I have used the tracks and the clamps to make my own setup, they are very nice tracks and clamps
Be a fun and easy project and save a lot of money.
For me personally I have found that buying machine thread T nuts and using small machine screws in the track is a better option that just screwing the track down with wood screws. Both work but I have lifted the track on more than one occasion and have switched to T Nuts on everything I build.

Great tip. I haven’t lifted any screws on what I have done yet, but that has always been a concern of mine. That is also a reason I went with a bench dog option for my work table over a t-track system.
