a quick tour of my work benches and shop:

main workbench has a vise at one end, with some dog holes most of the length. use the orange plastic dogs that also fit Stanley work mate benches.

have 5 total work benches, 4 at this height, one other is taller (long story from long ago, mostly used for storage and 2 bench vises, not shown).

work benches are about 1" shorter than the TS, so they could be used for in feed or out feed (before i built the current out feed table and also later got some roller stands for in feed assistance).

all 3'x8'. i've found that to be a good size, not too deep that i cannot reach the other side instead of having to walk around all the time. little tray on the end opposite from the vise for a roll of craft/builder paper - very useful for protecting the bench when doing glue ups or staining or finishing.
