Easy Tip for Adding Dog Holes to your Workbench Top

Drilling into the top of your hard work to get perfect dog holes is risky and stressful. Here is a solid tip for taking the stress out of that process by drilling into a replaceable piece instead.
Also take a peek at my new Moravian workbench underway!

Nice video - I've been interested in moravian workbenches for awhile (it just seems more approachable than other types to build). I've always been curious - and will be interested to see on yours - how stable the bench is. Will the table top shift while it sits on the legs, or will it be pretty rock steady? Looking forward to seeing!

@@michaelemancipator8573 I put a bolt through the top and into the top stretcher of the base, so no movement from top to base, and the base is super stable so far!
Most people use a blind pegged dowel to hold the top in place, but I prefer a bolt with a star knob to put tension on it
