It's a nice bench to be sure.

But I have a few quibbles.

Why so many bench dogs in the picture? (those removable pegs sticking up) I know the picture is posed, and meant to show off the newly made bench, but do you really need to show that you have all those bench dog holes? In practice, you are only going to be using one bench dog in most situations. You don't need a dozen of them. Just one, and you move it to different holes. Maybe a spare in case you misplace the one. Actually, you would want a second dog for the support next to the side vise.

What's with the red accent paint on the chamfer on the vise? I feel like that's just asking to have red markings get on all your projects as you accidentally bump against it. It's this guy's vise, so do what you want, but I wouldn't want that.

And the vise spinner has just a metal bolt sticking out. Carve a wooden handle for it to match the tail vise. You're not done yet.

Sorry for being critical. It's a nice bench. It really is.
