I haven't made anything out of wood since I was at school, but am now
in the position to set up a small workshop in my garage and want to
make a few things for around the house (simple furniture). I'll be
posting a series of questions, separately so that people can respond
to whichever ones they have input on - or answer all of them, that'll
be cool too.

I picked up a couple of woodworking books, and one has plans for a
making your own bench/table that includes a series of square peg holes
along the front top surface of the table. What are these useful for?

I'm assuming clamping, but can't really see how that pans out.

Cheers.

Look at these for some ideas how these bench dogs, etc work. The square
ones are the traditional shape but the round ones are easier to put in and
have more variety of bench accessories to put in them.
