I was looking on Youtube for who knows what and came across this
It looked too industrial and then I saw this:
http://www.wood-carver.com/construction.html I figured I could use some boat rollers on tubing or rollerblade wheels in tracks.
I also saw this simpler version:
In the vids it seemed a little wobbly but we can fix that with bracing:
I'll add more or you can add more as the info comes along, If you have built one...Please share the knowledge

They make guitars with this same machine today but the machine I have seen copies one guitar and carves about 20 at once and of course it is automated.
The video I saw they were carving archtops inside and out of of chunks of wood and it was really neat to see the master carver sitting there eating a sandwitch while 20 artchtop guitars were being carved out.
Nice job on building the one you have Bob!
When I started this machine my goal was to build gunstocks. I moved to So Cal and gun is a dirty word here. So I have not finished it. But I have been giving it some thought , it might be good for roughing out guitar necks. The machine is not wide enough to build a Les Paul body, but it could make two necks or gunstocks at the same time.
There are lots of way to build a copy machine and I know you can build one as well without welding or machining.
Cheers

What you can do is elevate your carver and make the table move so you can do larger projects that would make double the length of movement in half the space.
By the way, THAT IS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!

I'd love to build a machine like that.
If you were to replace the router with a 2 x 48 belt sander...
