Thanks Ryan, adot and Tony.  

Ryan, I suspect that trying to do that with the Shaper Origin would be extremely tedious.  The micro steps it takes to get a smooth contour would probably take forever guiding by hand. 

Adot, I think that the glue block is how I am going to use my Ringmaster from now on so I do not have to drill a hole.  The hot glue turns out to be an excellent way to adhere the board to the glue block.  It was actually kind of a PITA getting it off.  One tip I found was to dribble a little DNA (alcohol not blood ;-) on the hot glue to slightly soften the wood and it makes it a little easier to pry off the hot glue.
