This sure sounds like the way to go. I should point out a couple of things......
1) Some bench dogs require a hole with a pitch to it (for some reason 12 degs sounds right) so if you have not picked out the ones you are going to use that should be done before you make the holes.
2) If you have the vice(s) picked out they may change the way you do things so if you don't have those yet you might want to hold off until you do.
3) If the bench is still toooo light and if you have a dual support across the bottom go to garage sales and get the weight sets that are always on sale with the bar and loose weights. That way you can add 110 pounds easy and the free weights work for glue jobs etc.
