Brandon, I’m unsure how well a tail-vise with a dog hole mounted in the chop will work if I put my dog holes 2” or so from the front of the bench. Do you experience significant racking forces when you use your tail vise for face planing? I guess I could try to make a wagon vise, but that might be too much of a challenge for this beginning woodworker.
