That rope hold down technique is brilliant. I love how easy it makes "active" work where you're rotating a piece, or doing multiple pieces. I don't have a use for it yet, but I'm excited to try it out when I do.
I'm a newb woodworker just getting into the trade and I found all these videos on how and where to drill dog holes but couldn't find any vids on how the dog hole accessories work. Finally came across your video and now I understand them perfectly. Thanks so much!
*kneeling and wailing 'I'm not worthy!' repeatedly!* 😂 😂 😂 Seriously, you have some great ideas and that rope trick was really clever. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks for the ideas, I will be using some of those ideas in my shop, with prices going up as they are I've been making thing instead of buying. Thanks again.
That was simply the best dog hole related video I’ve ever seen. And I’ve watched tonnes! Thank you so much - I’ll be busy making some of those this very afternoon!
LOVE your video, I been months trying to make my workbench, haven't find good info at all on what size are the dogs holes and what distance each one, appreciate if you help me with this info .liz❤❤❤
Good stuff. I just noticed that a wooden broomstick I had cut off for another project is exactly 3/4" in diameter. Perfect for cutting up into bench dogs 😀
This is one of the best videos for DIY dog hole accessories.! These are perfect. Exactly what I was looking for! For the conduit holdfats to work properly, what is the recommened thickness of the bench top ?
I laughed way too hard when you secured those elf shoes. Brilliant work my friend, keep stealing those elves shoes so you can afford more -wood- Pabst!
Glad I found your channel. I really like practical things here, great content. I wonder if you could say the wall diameter of the conduit for those holdfasts? Now that this vid is a year old, have you had any problems with the conduit bending or deforming at stress points? Thanks for taking the time to keep us posted on what you're up to!
Outstanding, Zach! I've been very dissatisfied with model of vertical dog-hole clamps that I own. I've broken four of them so far and was about to give up on the idea until I saw how you were able to make a very similarly-functioning one yourself. I think I'll give that a shot! Oh... and I love the PBR shirt. :D
Awesome man! Glad it was helpful! Nice to pay it forward to someone who’s given me a lot of good advice and entertainment throughout the years! Cheers bud!
You might be able to make those Blue Kreg clamps. Fabricate a plywood puck that rotates on a dog-sized dowel. Just be sure drill the puck's hole 1.5" off-center. Snug the clamp to the work object using your hand; to lock it -just strike it with your mallet. Good luck.
You are one of the most innovative folks I have seen on UA-cam and that is saying a lot. Can you tell me if you used a jig to build your dog hole bench. I just “purchased” … which even surprised me … a huge Husky roll around tool chest that has a wood top that raises / lowers. I would like to drill dog holes in it to mirror something like you have. Thank you in advance and best of luck to you.
Off subject but what apron are you wearing and how do you like it(comfort- pocket layout)? In the marked for one and like looks of yours. Great video!!
Love the holdfast. My sons filled my boots with marine epoxy as a gag. Now I can make holdfasts and the contact surface will be the fine leather over the steel toe. The steel toe is rather given the strength of the epoxy. I'm going to try to use the beautiful laces to set and release. The heel of the boot will tolerate a mallet, but I wouldn't want to mar the nearly new leather on the back of the heel, would I?
do you have 20mm or 3/4 inch dogholes for the conduit to fit? I'm going to start drilling my dogholes but am torn as to which size to drill - 20mm of 3/4 inch! I'd rather be able to build DYI stuff like you did using conduit
Okay, not for nothing, with today's technology there is no excuse for people posting videos where the audio is not in sync with the video. It is annoying and I have to move on to another video. It is to bed because the subject seemed interesting. Check out John Heisz's video on the bench dogs he made. VERY cool the way they function.
Most youtubers would have made a 28 min video out of all the ideas you presented here in under 7 minutes. Thanks for keeping it real!
This is fantastic… keep up the innovation. This video is criminally under-viewed!

Miter saw hold down clamp in dog holes!? Awesome tip!
been watching a TONNE of doghole workbench vids, and this has been the best so far for ideas and designs. great job
Using the mitre saw clamp... 🤯 clever stuff dude. Nice video, thanks for all the tips and ideas
Thank you. I use fender washers on the toggle clamps, use 2 for each clamp mounted on the nuts, way faster for adjustment!
Top tip with the mitre saw clamp. I never use mine and I have several. Thank you for sharing!
I really enjoyed the "Original" tips that I have not seen posted anywhere else Zach, these are great tips that have enriched me.
Thank you!
Like your bonus tip have a couple from old miter saws I knew I was saving them for a reason lol
That rope and carabineer trick is genius!

Awesome, these are great. I love how easy, cheap, and resourceful these are!
You have several good practical ideas I have not seen before. That's saying something at my age!
Those are awesome DIY hacks. Thanks for the video

Never knew that ropes can hold a work piece.. Nice.. Thanls for sharing
LOVE your video, I been months trying to make my workbench, haven't find good info at all on what size are the dogs holes and what distance each one, appreciate if you help me with this info .liz❤❤❤
Simple, but very very useful technique and a lot of ideas. Thank you very much indeed.
I like your clamps easy to make aswell many thanks Keith ❤👍👍👍
Good stuff. I just noticed that a wooden broomstick I had cut off for another project is exactly 3/4" in diameter. Perfect for cutting up into bench dogs 😀
thank you for some great ideas that I can now use with my Kreg portable work center...cheers, from Victoria, British Columbia
Nicely done!
Great stuff, thanks! You gave me lots of options.
I like your creativity!
awesome video with great information! Would love to hear about the table build and making the dog holes! Thanks for sharing!
Workshop at The Gardens thanks man! Could be a good idea for a video!
Great ideas, really enjoyed, thanks for sharing.
These are fantastic!
Thanks for your video! Awesome ideas!

Thanks for making this great video! I've already shared with friends
rootboards thanks so much!
Woah, that rope one is new to me. Very rad 👌
Best video I've seen lately. THANKS
Nice PBR shirt man!

Great video buddy really enjoyed it
Top tips on using dog holes. I am assuming you used metal conduit for your hold fasts. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Very good tips. Your video is well presented. Take it from an experienced pro.
You might be able to make those Blue Kreg clamps. Fabricate a plywood puck that rotates on a dog-sized dowel. Just be sure drill the puck's hole 1.5" off-center. Snug the clamp to the work object using your hand; to lock it -just strike it with your mallet. Good luck.
I cant beleive im just seeing this now....great video!
Good stuff! Thanks.
how do you attach the conduit to the blocks of wood? these are all awesome ideas!

right to the point and great tips!
Very Creative! Will 3/4" dogs work in a 20mm hole?
Super useful tips.thanks.
Awesome video! For the hold down clamps around 01:50, how do you attach the conduit to that wood base under the clamp?
Some good tips. How do you like your worm drive mitre saw?
It’s ridiculously loud and dust collection is horrible but for an outside job site saw it’s awesome
The very best dang doghole vid I've seen.
Very clever thanks for posting. I like and Subed
Wow man. Fantastic

lol that's love right there!
Awsome video Bro
WOULD BE NICE TO SEE HOW YOU MADE THE COAT HANGER DOG CLAMPS ???????
why did you use conduit that was so long on the toggle accessory?
do you have 20mm or 3/4 inch dogholes for the conduit to fit? I'm going to start drilling my dogholes but am torn as to which size to drill - 20mm of 3/4 inch! I'd rather be able to build DYI stuff like you did using conduit
What size of holes did you drill in the workbench top?
GREAT DEMO THANK YOU
Brilliant, subbed!
Some good ideas here. Thanks.
Some good ideas mate, UK carpenter
How far apart are your dog holes ? Looks like 3/4” holes. Is that correct ?
Most excellent, thank you
Great video
Excellent ideas
Very Helpful
What size holes in table top
VERY NICE!
Genius.
Well done...
