Tail vice/End vice
I've been giving some thought to the new bench that I'm going to build next year. I'm leaning towards a tail vice instead of a single or double screw end vice.
So I thought I'd put it up for the vote. What's your preferred vice configuration?"I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Not a very controversial topic, I admit. I had hoped for a bit of discussion on it though. I like the tail vice because it puts the screw more or less in line with the dog holes. The twin screw end vice does this too but don't you find it a bit cumbersome having to wind two screws in and out all the time?

Silent, I still prefer to have none. For me the wonderdogs are the way to go. Otherwise, I will probably go for a tail vice but definitely not the Double screw end vice.
Have fun.

If I could only have one, I'd go for the tail vice, but my prefered configuration is to have both. Ideally, a double screw end vice, but I have a single screw one and it works fine. I like having a pair of dogs on the end vice in line with 2 rows of dogs along the bench.

I'm like Alex in that I haven't got one but would like one in addition to my single screw vice.
Ryan's comments will be valuable on this topic.- Wood Borer

Having the double row of dogs is fine if you're always working on large panels but how do you get on if you just want to clamp something in the front row?
I saw a bench that had two tail vices, one on the front and one on the back. That might be the go. Independant (can clamp non-parallel-sided objects), can use just the front one for small things and both for larger things. Or maybe just a row of holes at the back and a wonderdog-like something for when it's needed."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Silent, there are 4 sides to a bench, indulge yourself.

On my last bench I just had a couple of standard Dawn vices,
one in front and one on the end.
