That is handy 987 and seems like a hybrid between this and my mini workbench.
This mimi is designed for a worktop in my office while the other is designed for the workshop to bring work into the focal distance of my glasses without stooping. If I made another of "the others" (like yours), I'd still use the MFT style doghole layout and mount a Stanley vise (as above) instead of the expensive H & T Gordon.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
