overhead router jig

Check out Kathy Matsushita's guitar making page. I put this link that should take you directly to the binding jig page. I hope this helps you.

Here is a commercial product that could be adapted.

Or, use it as a basis of a build-your-own.

Seems (looks) interesting but I'd think there would be an awful lot of play in a system like that. If it were me I'd consider and inverted pin router. Search the Lee Valley site for their over arm or do a search on Onsrud Inverted Pin Router.

Not saying you need an Onsrud but the principle being the router is locked down solid into a table and the arm doesn't quite need to be a stiff (solid) as the "old style" over arm pin routers.

Your Mileage May Vary but I still can't see how they (the link above) can get things stiff enough.

IIRC, one of Patrick Spielman's books has plans for an overhead router arm like the one pictured; I don't remember which one.

DAGS in this group on "router jigs"; I couldn't recall Spielman's name and did a search on "router books" to find it. Some such search would turn up a wealth of ideas.
