Didn't hit any fundamental problem. 

Lost a (haphazardly attached) anti-backlash nut on the first pocket.

Ran progressively deeper cuts in second pocket until hold-down clamps slipped. Vid shows penultimate pass. Hold-downs are limited because I don't have enough nuts to populate all the embedded nut positions under the spoil board.

Oh yeah, replaceable spoil board and integrated work holding.
