Hi,
I've built a workbench with 3/4" holes in the top. I had a couple of 3/4" x 8" chrome bolts I bought from Home Depot a while back but never used. They fit perfectly snug into my bench holes and so I figured I'd superglue a strip of crubber around the head to protect the work pieces and I'd have a cheap & essentially indestructible bench dog. These are obviously pretty rigid, whereas I think most benchdogs are wood or softer metal. So is there any problem with using these that I'm not aware of? I'll post a pic soon if my description doesn't make sense.

edit: this is the only pic I have that you can see the them in. You can see the bolt in the tail vise block, it only has crubber on the non-visible side.
