first post in this section of SMC...so i'm strongly considering building a bench with a leg vise on the front (left). One thing though that seems odd to me is that unlike other vises that one might put in this location there's no concept of dog hole in the top of the vice so that one could brace something on the bench front to back. Why is that?
I am planning on end vise on the far right -- twin screw or simpler traditional vise -- and that will have a dog hole in line w/ones running along the front of the bench.
