I figure if underbench storage gets on my nerves I'll take it out and just put it in the corner of the shop (it will be a seperate unit)...and the deadman is easy enough to take off if I want to also.
That's why I just drilled 3/4" holes in the apron of the side with a face vise. The only time I could foresee it being a problem is if I had a door or something that was like 20 inches that I needed to edge plane.
If worse comes to worse, I suppose I can make a hanging deadman that can be removed from the apron holes that go all the way through.
