Bernie, I think you’ve come up with a fantastic design. I like each and every one of the features you’ve included. The only thing I might add would be to replace one of the T-tracks with a Bora-style clamp recessed just below the surface like the T-track. I actually built a mini-bench and put one in there and it is VERY handy. There are other brands besides Bora that would work as well. Actually, I like the WoodCraft house brand because of its lower profile.

‘T-track’... the new ‘bench dog’.
