Hear me out...

I have a foredom carving tool that I use for inlay work, etc. The lighting and dust control is set up pretty well on my lathe , but I'd like to convert the ways to a better, clampable platform. Or, I'd love to mount a drill vise there to hold, say, a guitar neck.

My question is: Has anyone out there made a 'workstation' platform for their lathe ways? I've searched for a solution but find nothing.
