I'm thinking about making my new workbench a split top. I like the idea of an integral filler that doubles as a bench stop. Also, I like the clamping versatility of being able to get to the inside.
Any downsides to a split top design?
I'd like to see your pix - especially the underside. My bench will only be 60" long, so is there a need for any cross member support under the table besides the ones joining the legs and supporting the ends? The top is 2 1/4" thick maple.
