it has an overlap that would hang over the edge of the bench that could then be
clamped into a face vise instead of screwing to the bench top.  One could
possibly even make it so that it actually has pins on the bottom that fit into
bench dog holes on the bench top therefore making it possible to place in
different locations as needed on the bench top.  Of course, naturally, one could
simply make one in such a way that it could simply be clamped to the bench top
with either bar clamps or even holdfasts.

There are two 1” fender washers above the 3/4” posts to set the teeth ~ 1/8”
above the bench.
