For the binding, just use a router bit made for the job. I got one off ebay, was about £20inc p&p from the usa. I haven't used mine yet though.
*edit*
This is where I got the bit from.

Ok...been a while but i decided to give the Neck Radius Jig a go...
![Image](http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc402/jabemeister/Picture073-1.jpg)
Holy Crap it works!!..just took my time and made several passes at varying heights...great result!

Then onto the neck radius...decided to use a two piece maple neck that i had decided to scrap...but!!!

![Image](http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc402/jabemeister/Picture076-1.jpg)
That was more tricky..but it turned out better than i expected..i'll definitely have to finish it off with the radius block..
but again! great result from a homemade mdf trough...I'll have to attempt a skunk stripe for it next...
![Image](http://i1210.photobucket.com/albums/cc402/jabemeister/Picture077-1.jpg)
Then i'll have a go with the radius jig for the walnut fingerboard...fingers crossed...
