MFT Bench Dogs - Thoughts and recommendations?

[Spectric]

I have a workbench with no holes, then I have MFT type tops that sit on my bench that I can easily lift and put a fixing in from below to hold a dog secure or to move the top out the way for a cleanup. Once you own a method for making the tops then you are not constrained and also get these from Axminster if using the Parf system

As they allow you to add holes if you have not fully perforated your MFT.

There is a new MFT jig coming to market at some point from @petermillard that should be interesting as it is router based and not drilling.

What I did in my old bench was still all the way through and had my drawers stop about 300mm from under side of workbench and put a top across them to stop any saw dust falling into them. Gave me a useful storage space too.

Something I haven't quite got round to making. Flimsy slide out trays made of ply under the dog holes to catch the dust because the sawdust falls through into my storage boxes and drives me nuts.
