I understand the wagon vise must have a breadboard end to support it, but why not do the same on all ends? Is it just a time and money thing? Happy for you to talk me out of it, but I am thinking ash top with mahogany breadboards and exposed dovetails. Mahogany is easy for me to get and would set off the exposed joinery nicely. I do worry a bit about movement of the two woods.
I am a very balanced person. I like things to be uniform. Having only one breadboard end would interfere with my OCD. :-)
Also I intend to change the joinery to something more substantial than the captive nut and bolt method. I want to dovetail the stretchers and through-mortise the legs to the top. Not sure the joint name but the one that is dovetailed and wedged. I love the look and sturdiness. Also using mahogany for the legs and I think it would look nice with the contrast.
Yes, it is a WORKbench, but all these things are in the name of craftsmanship, and just things that for me make the build all the more exciting.

Split-top Benchcrafted design- why not put breadboards on all ends?
