Well, I posted my previous attempt (which worked okay) but then I decided there was too much room for improvement, so here is my column-mounted fence V2.
The entire point of this is, I can move my table anywhere within range without throwing off my fence or the stop block on the fence. So if I'm drilling the edges of a 8" x 10" rectangular board (for instance) I can set the fence and stop block and drill holes in all four edges of the workpiece just by adjusting the table height.
There are a few things I might refine here and there but it works amazingly well. Very rigid.
Here are two pics, V1 (with single t-track) and V2 (with dual t-track).
