Yeah I guess so,,,,,,,,,,
A lot of fabrication work I've done over the years (that would fit on a bench) simply get tacked/welded onto said bench, and cut/ground off after.
If a clamp of sorts was needed we simply dogged and wedged,,,,,
The biggest job I've ever had on a
"bench" was a chipper/hogger that used to have 30" diameter pine logs fed through it.
It was lifted into place by a pin jib crane for the rebuild/repair.
Didn't need any clamps to hold that baby in place.
I do not fear death itself... Only its inopportune timing!
I've come to realize that,,,,, the two most loving, loyal, and trustworthy females in my entire life were both canines.
