Well, for one thing, I needed a new dog hole, a bit farther away from the vise. Drew out a center line to match the other two "new" dog holes. Still had a bit chucked up into the "cordless drill". so a few turns were made..

Made some nice curlys..
346998
Right in line with the other two. Then there was this problem..

The WorkMate dogs I use are a bit too tall for this thinner work. Time to make a "Stop"
had a length of 7/8" dowel, skinnied it down to fit the dog holes. One end is cut at a slight angle.
Drilled a pilot hole with another cordless drill..

That is a chunk of an old saw plate sitting beside the dowel. Used a brass screw to attach the plate to the dowel, with the teeth sitting on the higher side of the angled dowel. Installed it in the bench.

And tried it out..

BTW, the dog that goes into the vise was ground down a bit, and sanded smooth. Now sits lower than the wood.
Might just work....;)
