Thank you for posting the above.
Definitely something to investigate further.

without being picky, some one should tell the author that he should be chopping his mortices over one of the legs of his bench, rather than the middle of the span.

not a fair comparison.
those benches are 3 to 5 times thicker than the one Joshua Klein is using


besides, the artisan mortising is working close to a leg, not mid-span

not a fair comparison.
Fairness was not my primary motivation. :p

I think that picture comes from Monsieur Roubo's L'Art du Menuisier and is a great advertisement for the humble holdfast if ever I saw one.
