but...... here it is in case anyone else is struggling to hold wood whilst planing :wink:
Today I was planing the side pieces for some divider frames to fit my dado's and decided I needed a better end stop than a piece of wood simply pushed against the bench dogs.
When I made my own bench it seemed to me that round dog holes were easiest and that's what I have - the dogs have flat faces though
I cut a piece of scrap beech and drilled a couple of 22mm holes to snugly fit over the dogs and voila. It works much better than the old way as I can now plane outside of the dogs which means the work piece is closer to my body and the job is much easier
