In case you hadn’t seen it, here’s the “Fitting a Vise” post on the blog:

You will need some space between the bench and the metal jaws to allow for re-truing the bench top. 3/4″ is more than you need but I can’t see it presenting a problem, you’ll just have to make up the difference with the wooden jaws. If you want to you can cut a recess into the underside of the bench to raise the jaw closer to the surface and if you have followed the workbench series you will already have the necessary tools and knowledge to do this.
