I'm in the home stretch for completing my workbench. This is my first "real" workbench so I need some help in the one of the final design decisions. I am using the Veritas Twin Screw as the end vise and need to drill the dog holes in the jaw so I can finish the installation.
How many rows of dog holes should I go with? The workbench is 27 1/2" deep. My original design was for four rows with a spacing of: 3 1/4" <D> 7"<D> 7"<D> 7"<D> 3 1/4". My holes will be spaced 5 1/2" to avoid the base. When I look at the dog holes marked in chalk it looks like a lot. Is four rows too many? If I went with three and centered it that would leave the dog holes spaced at 3 1/4"<D>10 1/2"<D>10 1/2"<D>3 1/4". If you have three, does that work or would four be better?
Your input is appreciated!
