But if you want a tail vise, end vise, planing stop, dog hole, holdfasts, etc. Just add them. A bar clamp will fit across the apron, but if you want shorter clamps drill holes in the apron for them. And you can drill holes for dogs to support long work.
I have all on my bench, and a shoulder vise as well. It’s personal preference.
Paul installed a tail vise on his bench at the castle, and he installed a planing stop as well. I never saw him use either.

All that stuff you can add as you please, and Paul even shows how.

I suspect one reason everything he does is centered around the vise is that’s where the cameras point.
