I'm on it Rob, as stated originally I wanted to be able to swap and change the top depending on the task in hand, for
example I'll have a sleeved top which you suggested, going over the top to protect the primary top during glue ups and all those dirty jobs. But also I want to have a top with t-track running through it. The primary top I have on it at the moment will have dog holes but I need to research that before I go drilling willy-nilly into it.

Hi Graeme,
I used a tarp for when I was doing glue ups on the tablesaw, the problem I had was after a while the tarp surface got so clogged with bits of glue it interfered with clamping things flat. Eventually I decided to just use some cheap ply to cover the tablesaw surface and it was easier to scrape or quickly sand it off to get thinsg flat again.

Fine. Had the same issues which is one of the reasons I stopped using the drop cloth.
I rarely do glue ups on my workbench - just use some plastic sheet, even clingwrap when I do.
Mostly I do glue ups on my MDF assembly bench. I try to minimise splashage & drips, wipe up fresh stuff - water for PVA and acetone for epoxy - and then scrape off the mised bits next day with a tungsten scraper. Not pretty, but MDF and pretty do not belong in the same sentence.

Has anyone got suggestions on what kind of bench clamp to buy for this?, it will be mounted on the end.

Graeme . The top gets in My way too if I don't try a little and place it out of the way. Its benefits far out weigh that though. And I cant have glue and the rest going down the dog holes as I'm sure you will understand when you seen them.
That's with the false top on. I included some of my over size lay out tools which I use for laying out lines on the black top sometimes. Its due for some more paint as well.

Top off with dog holes matching the Emmert vise. What ever goes through the holes ends up on sharpening stones . Saws when some are under there, Or could glue the dogs in place. The front two dog holes are over the top of a beam so stumpy dogs get placed in them to sit up high if I need them .

Top half off.

The end holding drawers because I don't think I've shown the drawers and what they hold. Or the length of them.
Screws and nails that haven't been to well organized since my move. I want to put them somewhere else one day.

The quick-release Record #52 1/2 is the classic face/end vice. I have a vintage one at the end of my MFT (no, you can't have it! ).

I thought you were going to do a Moxon vise in that space ?

I could have placed the vice more centrally. You can make the chop any size you wish, but the vice will rack if not securely attached and if the chop is not stiff enough. One of the very best vices of this type is made by HNT Gordon. Pricey and no quick release, but solid.
The alternative is a double screw vice. You buy the mechanism and make the vice. That can be a little daunting for some ...
The best are made by Veritas/Lee Value or LN. This is sold by Carbatec. They also sell copies of the #52 1/2, also made by Groz. I do not recommend them. The twin screw is so simple that you cannot go wrong. Search for a genuine, used Record. Some old Oz makes are great as well.Visit www.inthewoodshop.com for tutorials on constructing handtools, handtool reviews, and my trials and tribulations with furniture builds.

Something like this style linked below but more suited to that space under your top. Not only will it work well as they do but filling that end hole with timber will brace the top like the rest of the top is braced . The top looks like it has flex up that end as it is .
