Beautiful. However, I think for the strongest dovetail joint, the center line of the pins should be parallel to the grain of the the tailboard. It probably wouldn't look as cool cut that way. But for me, the fact that sloped pins aren't the strongest interferes with my appreciation of the beauty.

I have a suggestion for the sawhorses. The long stringers (the ones about 8" above the floor) are positioned to bang up my ankles, and keep you from getting as close as possible to the work surface. My suggestion is to move those stretchers to the inside of the legs. This gives a couple of inches more clearance for your ankles, is almost as easy to build, and shouldn't sacrifice any strength.
