Hi to All,

  For anyone who has made a workbench based on the plan in Woodsmith No. 50, you’ll recall that instead of a tail vise, a “sliding dog assembly” is used.  To hold work off the edge of the bench, e.g. a drawer, a special set of dogs called “bench edge vise clamps” were used.  At the time of publication, these types of clamps were available through Woodcraft.  I contacted WC recently only to discover that the clamps are no longer available and the manufacturer is no longer in business.

  Anyone had any success making a pair of these clamps from material in your shop?  If so, please share your knowledge.  Pics, drawings, sketches would all be very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
