If you have glued it up, there you go.
If you haven't, what is the cross section of your face vise leg, and did you get the criss cross hardware to go with your other Bench Crafted hardware?
One thing I noticed in AWB and double checked recently, in the book the author's leg is 5x5 before mortising. I am not worried about post/column strength, that is plenty. But I noticed with the groove (stopped dado? stopped groove?) routed in for the author's criss cross hardware from bench crafted was deep enough to take away a bunch of the tenon for where the front stretcher tenon enters its mortise in the vise leg.
