Woodworkers of Head Case unite!

I am down to a decision point on bench dogs. I have almost 20 extra so I am trying to decide if I run a strip down the opposite side of the bench for symmetry or just stay with the single run of bench dogs. 


Any opinions????

I will have some regular 3/4” dog holes on that side for the Veritas whatever dogs/hold downs. Might start getting Swiss cheesy, but I guess I can supposed use them with the 3/4 through holes made for the In-Kleind bench dogs.

Thanks guys. Luckily none of you have to see it in person to pick out all the issues I have.
 

Next poll, which finish for this thing. I know Naaman used Tried & True and some big bench nerds recommend Waterlox and about everyone else recommends Danish Oil. Cannot decide.

Al, since you guys convinced me to add them to the other side I will only have 6-8 leftovers. If you want to use them on your bench let me know. The require a 1 5/8” Forstner, 3/4 auger and a Brad point 3/8” bit for the magnets that hold the dogs at whatever height you want.

From what you have there, Tried & True, not even an option in my mind.

What I used, but being a shitty woodworker my bench gets used more as a giant charcuterie board.

My main concern with the tried and true is that I did the shelf with that and sawdust seems to stick to it like crazy. Maybe I did not rub off enough of the excess, I kind of treated it like I do Odie’s with a sander buffing pad to remove excess.

Applied a first coat of Tried and True on the base (ash). Kind of wish I had treated the Ash with a water based finish, as it went from looking okay to looking Home Depot lumber real quick with the yellow tint.
