The overhanging curves really cannot be confidently attempted with any common plywood such as CDX,  peg board,  Pine  or 3 ply entry  level budget panels.  They are all subject to going potato chip on you and will warp the edges.  

Many people overlook how foundational reliable benchwork is yet they put thousand dollar engines on something that could only qualify as a temporary holiday project.

There are a couple of OGR advertisers who may provide stand up custom benchwork.

The benchwork photos of some other work posted earlier have no screws, only adhesive & sometimes tacked with 18 ga. brads.

The tubes of adhesive are from HD or Lowe's  they are premium polyurethane Loctite at approx. $7.50 per tube.  Do not spill it on anything you do not want the adhesive to be permanently attached. 

Bunches of different style clamps are necessary.
