workstation "mft" table
I got the shaper workstation, and instantly wanted to use it a bit more. So I made a slightly bigger table for it using 3/4 9-ply plywood, to make something I could use like a small MFT table. It lets you use thinner stock than the standard table with the support bar. These dogholes are 19mm and work with the Amazon clamping product - but those brass bars are about 1/2" tall so you have to be creative with thinner stock.

Shaper workstation. Not needed to make this, but no real point if you don't have one.
Some sort of MFT clamps, ditto, like https://a.co/d/huCZqjL.
Instructions
Pretty straightforward. According to the workstation manual, the holes for the mounts near the table are 11.5mm away from the edge, on center. These are only 10.5mm to give a little more clearance, but you can just move it 1 mm when you place this if you want to match the manual specs. Because those amazon clamps are 16mm tall, they don't work perfectly for thinner stock, so I had to get creative. I may make some 3/8" tall "Brock mft clamps"(https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/59d2a95f735c740010ba2968/shares/5bc6b890c26d9900171032e4) See also, https://hub.shapertools.com/creators/612af9ec9b044b0011dd554e/shares/6201aaca8a6346001c30cd58
