Welcome Eric!  My advice is to buy the dogs and size to fit.  When I made 
my bench I thought they were 3/4 inch or thereabouts.  When I scored some 
at a couple of flea markets I found I was wrong.  Using my Dad's milling 
machine to Mill them down to fit the slots was a lot of work.  Better to do 
it with dogs in hand.

best,
