Hello Brandon I cant wait to see what you come up with. As far as using the template and setting it up, I would do it the way you describe.I dont see any problems with that set up.
Good luck on your project, take a lot of pictures! Have a good day.

I considered using a template, but that raised another question. Is there a reliable method for setting up the straight edge to ensure it is perfectly parallel to the spindle? My initial thought would be to rest the bearing against the side of the spindle, then place the template aginst the template follower, at one end of the spindle, and secure it in place. Then do the same thing at the opposite end. This is becoming a really fun project. It is requiring me to use new techniques. Side reeding and template following will be a first. I'll also be making sliding dovetail joints and breaking out my new handheld router to use on my Rockler dovetail jig that has been sitting in the box for about 5 years... As for the questions, I'll be sure to keep them coming. I'll do my best to fill the forum with my vast lack of knowledge ;-) And a word of advice to the new group members. Read as much as you can, watch as many videos as you can find, and don't hesitate to ask questions here. Google han't made it very easy to find solutions in the groups, so ask away.
