Cool idea. What’s the shaft of the T-handled peg made of? I’d have used metal because I think the shear force would be considerable for something so slender.
Also, there’s a dead animal in your shop.

Rather smart i must say.
Is that a dead dog in pics 2 and 3? Either dead or very lazy.

That’s a great idea. Beats the heck outta cutting scrap to size every time!
I’m pretty sure that dog’s not dead or lazy. I think he’s eyeballing the wind in that board beside him. :)
BTW, that’s the prettiest workbench I think I’ve seen.

A very good idea and the workbench is pretty darn good looking too.

Interesting, it kind of looks like a leg vise mounted sideways.
It need to implement this into my bench’s front wise.
Thanks.
