Fixed, again. At least this time I know what happened, my son deleted them.

Kids. My son thought they were part of a series I sent him, so he deleted them when he was done.
One good looking bench. Congrats,

Like I said, the last thing are the holes for the bench dogs. I know a standard dog requires a 3/4" hole, and I think a 6" spacing. Any thoughts on distance from the edge? Haven't been able to determine that from the bench photos I've seen.

Not sure anyone has responded to this.  Mine are about 2" from the edge with another row a further 2" in.  I have this because I added 2" to the bench to make it deeper.  the double row has proved very useful for clamping irregular shaped pieces.  I also made a couple of useful stops which have projecting pegs to locate in a pair of dogholes - again very useful.

Thanks, that's a help. I planned on two rows, one down each side, for holding wide panels while I work on them. When I was researching I saw a bench with a third row down the center, not sure about that. Also, benches with two rows for a side vise, still contemplating a side vise.

One thing I did like was a row of dog holes along the edge of the bench for clamping boards on edge to make planing easier. Haven't decided about this, I have a Zyliss vise that has done that job a number of times.
