Moxon Vise (My Attempt) & bench dog questions

Post by cooch366 »

Here is the beginning of my attempt at building a Mononoke Vise.

I’m using Maple (available in my area) and it’s 5 3/4w x 30l x 1 3/4 d. The hardware arrived today so installing that is the next step. My current thinking/plan is not to add a bevel to the front jaw (I don’t do a lot of hand work so I’ll leave it square, if needed I can add one in the future.

So my question is about bench dogs. I’d want to add some and would like to solicit input on what to do. Things like what type / kind / quantity / size etc. I don’t have any in my workbench and admit that I’m a noob on the subject. So any ideas, suggestions & experiences would be appreciated.

Thanks…. Steve
