It's almost like the guy who made this doesn't know how to use a bench.
You should start off with an old hollow core door on top of a couple saw horses. Use clamps to hold your work down. Once you figure out how you work, and what you need, look at solutions others have used in the past if you want to upgrade. If you are going to customize a tried and true design that has been used for centuries, that's great! But make each change for a reason that suits you. Don't just use some wood that you read about as being a fancy wood and think that it somehow makes the thing superior. And that red paint or gel stain or whatever it is?! Why is that on the vise handles? It doesn't look like something I would want to touch. And why on the vise chamfer itself? But I'm repeating myself. Paint doesn't belong anywhere near a workbench unless it is paint splatter from a project you are working on and your workbench is a hollow core door on a couple sawhorses.
