Thanks for the inspiration. I saw this a couple years ago and tried to integrate your sliding extension wings into my mobile design.
I love how this station looks!
Great design and simple, quick, and cheap to build. I started on mine this past weekend. Skipped the drill press section and added a couple shelves below. 8' to the left of the miter saw, 3' to the right. Space for the shop vac and dustright separator under the saw and section to the right.
Thank you for the plans! I made some changes to add an interchangeable miter / router table.
I took the router section, added supports front and back, added rails at specific heights and was able to either slide in the chopsaw or the router table.
Just finished the main part of build, still have to get to t-track and stop block part but already LOVING this build. Made first cut on new station (to build a moxon vice) and FINALLY I don’t have to worry about long board support. Loving this as much as the great bol de café in Montreal (worked in Laval 3years)
I saw this mitre station video and liked the simplicity of not having the side guides that would take up the counter top space. Then, I watched a gentleman from England explain why you might NOT want those side wings/guides. If an eight foot long piece of stock were even slightly warped, the side guide would keep it from being flush on the saw table where it must be in order to get a proper cut. Not having those side guides permits the longer, possibly slightly curved piece to be cut using the in-top stop as you’ve used here. I didn’t want to lose the counter top functionality and your system solves that. Even with removable wings, your system is more functional and equally as accurate. Great job. I also thought a tape track could be routed out just in front of the track and inset. As you have it, it’s very useful.
I used same tip from Jay bates and also put a locking washing and nut on carriage bolt to ensure it wouldn't raise or lower over time from vibrations . Like the ext. Wings adding tht to mine
very nice!
Thanks!
Thanks Marie, this is so neat and functional - I've ordered the plans. Just the incentive I've needed to make a fixed mitre saw station: mine's on a mobile base and it isn't really working out. I'm going to drill shelf pin holes before assembly. You might even have convinced me of the merits of pocket hole joinery...
Well done. I always watch your videos even if I'm not going to build that particular project because I always learn something new. A new technique or simply your down to earth style and your detailed explanations. Thank you. Cheers!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate hearing that :)
Great idea! I have been trying to figure out how to get my drill press on my station without it being in the way! I love the extension option as well. Well done!
Thank you kindly!
Agreed on both points.
That was the best video I have seen. The narration and video were great.
I’ve watched what feels like 100 miter saw station builds from basic frames to full on cabinets and this is easily my favorite. Your added drawers on another video sealed the deal. I plan on building a similar setup. Nicely done and great editing too!
Agreed! I am in the process of building the same setup. Awesome!
This will be my first build in my workshop as I plan my retirement for December 31st. I will add an additional 2 ft extension to the left of the drill press for my benchtop band saw. Thanks!
Love the idea and implementation of the extending support with the conduit/pipes. I’m going to use that when I make mine. So simple and easy.
Awesome, glad it was useful
Frankly, that 'support' didn't look to be too sturdy at all. Extended, I suspect the support end would fall below the level of the table (doesn't appear to be touching that 2x6 in the picture 8:32). One 'quick' fix might be to drill the holes in the slider piece lower in the slider than in the end of the bench - thinking that, this would tend to raise the support block as it was extended possibly countering the effects of gravity on it and the conduit(?) tubes that held it.
You could 'capture' the top itself between 'French Cleats' front and rear such that (well sanded and Bees Waxed) the right hand section of the top would (t-track, stop and all) slide right to offer some support to a longer scrap of material. With three (or 4) feet of support to the right of the blade, why would one need to extend that support?
Dust collection is far more critical a concern as, regardless the length of the material, you will be making saw dust out of everything you cut. Storage, then might be the next thing to consider. In this case, what twelve feet wide/long, a couple feet deep and thirty odd inches above the floor 1,875,384 cc (hey, the Canadian Metric System!) is a lot of space to waste! Don't pay for plans to build this! If you are to make the effort (and expense - see what a 2x4's going for a Lowes lately?) find some plans of a more comprehensive solution. The Samuri Carpenter has a video link to my right as I write this that appears worthy of one who can afford to spend for a SAWSTOP and the Bosch Chop Saw - maybe they're trying to comp some stuff from Kregg!
This is actually one of my favorite miter station builds. I really like the approach and procedures you followed. Works well.
Thanks very much!
This is absolutely GENIUS!!! Also, just happens to be the exact idea I needed for my home wood shop! Thanks for sharing this!
After looking at several DIY miter saw stations on You Tube, your plans looked to be the simplest and flexible design. I purchased the plans a week ago and began building. I had to make a couple adjustments to the plan - I own a Dewalt 12 inch sliding compound miter saw. Since the dust port hangs out quite a bit, I had to increase the depth of the work surface to 36 inches.
I cut all the wood and realized the work surface was going to be fairly short and being 6 foot tall, I will need to re-cut longer legs - A dumb mistake I should have thought of before cutting. Anyway, I am excited about finishing this project and adding drawers, and other accessories. I saw your other videos about the drawers and doors. Thanks!
Bravissima! Grande maestra complimenti
Thank you for that impeccable demonstration ! Love the simplicity of the design and use of tools. GREAT !
5/8/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: DIY Montreal, This will be unusual. I'm 71 and if you were my daughter or granddaughter I would feel so proud. This is a heart thing. I look at you and my heart just kind of swells up in a glow. This is really unusual for me. Your attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly with precision in a voice of caring humility combined with your selections of applications is comforting. I really like this modular table set-up. Furthermore, I really like your little garage. It is a great way to start. You are a living demonstration of starting in a one-room shack and growing into a castle. I can see it coming. You have all the qualities of success. Thank you for posting, and I wish you the best results from RUclips.
Thank you again for such a kind show of support. I really appreciate it! Makes me want to continue making videos :-)
My workshop is in hiatus for the moment due to some renovation work affecting the structure, but I'll be back soon!
I agree with Grandpa Bill 100% , you are special.
You are so sweet!
I really loved your extension solution as well as how you integrated the drill press without losing any surface for stock. You earned a subscriber...great work!
Well done, the extension wing is a great idea, I will be using that thanks. Shame the pillar drill looks too tall to be converted into a flip top bench.
Thanks for sharing.
I'm still a beginner at woodworking, and my fiancee and I are in the process of purchasing our first home. I foresee a lot of DIY projects that I'll be doing in the future though, so I've been browsing plans to turn the garage into a workshop, one of the most intimidating of which is the miter station.
I've been looking up a lot of different plans for this, and I think this one is definitely my favorite. Simple, efficient, has everything I need to get the job done, and easy to build on as my I become more experienced and skilled at woodworking.
Love that extension wing idea!
Thanks!
Love those stop blocks!
My favorite feature!
Очень здорово 👍
Функционал 🔥
Thank you! This is exactly what I need!
¡¡¡ BRAVO !!!
Un trabajo verdaderamente bien pensado y bien ejecutado.
¡¡ Felicidades !!
Yeah... this is REALLY well done. Simple, easy to build, multi-functional. One of those "now why didn't I think of that" moments. Thanks for sharing.
Great build! I really like how it works in the space around the uneven floors and odd shaped walls.
Thanks! I'm taking custom to a new level in my shop... and no always by choice!
Very impressive and inexpensive way for building chop saw station.
Love your videos.
I'm new to wood working and this is exactly what I've been looking for. So many others on this format are so over done and beyond me at this time, but this, this is perfect.... Thank you!!
Yes everyone ALWAYS has to be so over complex and humbly brag. So over overcomplex shop builds unless it's fine furniture.
Love it ! Nice and simple design that WORKS! not over-complicated - especially for DIY "garage" projects. Thank you !
Parabéns excelente ideia, grande abraço 🇧🇷
Obrigada!
@@DIYMontreal 👍
Vidéo très instructive. Merci pour le partage.
Great video. Someone who finally shows how to measure the depth of the miter saw base and install it. Loved the clamps to place the base onto for easier install. Can’t wait to see how this miter station evolves. Looking forward to how you implement dust collection.
That's the most important step! Want to make sure people see how to get it right.
Thanks and looking forward to upgrading this in the near future!
Love the detail. Simple and easy to build but with lots of features. Thank you.
I always love how your videos make woodworking look so easy, straightforward and stress free..
Haha if only! But glad it looks that way :) I do a lot of thinking and planning, which does help make the actual building part seem quite simple once I get there!
Very simple and functional build, great job!
This is one of the best designs for a miter saw station that I've seen! A lot of your ideas are excellent and creative. Thanks for such a great demonstration!
Thank you so much!
Love it and I’m going to build this for myself!
Awesome!
Nice and crispy explanation, thanks.
Thanks. I really enjoy your videos. I have the same mitre saw and am just about to build my own setup. I'm going to use your approach for stop blocks. I hadn't thought of adding runners onto it like that, sounds like the perfect solution. I also picked up a pair of those princess auto rollers after seeing you use them in your desk build video, they have come in super handy. When you're working alone and in a limited space you have to get creative sometimes! Go habs!
I just bought the Bosch miter saw and need to build a "Mobile Station". You have given me some great ideas! Thanks!!!
Awesome! Prob the best and most practical miter bench build I’ve seen and the extension wing is pretty dope!
Sweet, glad to hear it! Thanks
Agreed
Thanks Marie, lots of good ideas. No doubt I will use some of them in my upcoming miter station build. Cheers
What a great idea the extension is thanks
I really like the extension wings! Great build, Marie!
Thanks Bruce !
Great video. One of the simplest but most effective setups I have found so far. Thanks.
That was fantastic! You seem to have thought of everything! Great job.
Ha thanks! Appreciate it. I did put a lot of thought into it!
Thanks for sharing your process with us. I'm currently planning how I want to build out my new shop and I picked up a few great tips here. Those simple leveling feel will help me address the issue of my wavy concrete. I also liked your stop block design.
Thanks! The leveling feet are really great for uneven concrete. Just need to spend at little time adjusting all the feet to get it all level but it's worth it.
Awesome build! I love the leveling feature 👏!
Thanks!
Qué buen trabajo muy buena idea trataré de hacerla saludos de México
Gracias!
I really like the drill press placement. It is a great idea and space efficient. Well done !
Omg this was fantastic! Currently I’m needing to build shop mitre station... really everything that a beginning woodworker/builder would need so I greatly appreciate your videos and solutions for annoying shop problems!!! Thank you so much for sharing and I’m impatiently awaiting your shop builds and storage solutions
Thank you! Looking forward to building this out some more 👍
I’ve seen dozens of videos of miter station builds and this is by far my favorite. Thanks!
great idea to have space on the work table, a really good job! you have a new subscriber now.
Great build! One of my viewers pointed out that my most recent project looked eerily similar to yours...ha great minds think alike I guess. I really like the extension idea you incorporated on the right side. Great design
I guess so! There are many similar designs out there I suppose, just a few tweaks and variations to improve upon them here. Thanks!
Excelente, muy buena mesa. Saludos desde Colombia.
Gracias!
Those stop blocks sliding in the tracks is such a simple but amazing idea. I love it
@DIYMontreal I also have a tiny garage and I have been struggling for two years trying to come up with a starting layout for the shop. I think this is the best one I have found yet.
Yeah! T nuts and carriage bolts 💚
Muito bom mesmo. Nota10 abraços
Just happened to stumble across your site. Was looking for ideas to build a miter saw station. There are a lot of great stations people are building, but over the top. I bought your plans and modified to my specs. Works exactly the way I needed. Thanks, looking forward to seeing more of your videos.
Awesome and simple build! It's on my list.
Absolutely outstanding. I love it and need one.
Awesome! Thank you :-)
Really nice project. And I appreciate your brevity and clarity of instruction (a rare trait on RUclips ;-)
Very straightforward. I love clear communication.
I have to add to my first comment. This build is so clear and simple I stated that I loved it. I need to add that I can build complex projects but why would you when this plan can be done quickly and later than embellish it with any touches you would like. A+
The pull out extension is simple but a genius addition! This is a great miter station! Thank you for doing this video!
Thanks! Sometimes I feel like I spend too much time thinking about my builds before actually building them but now at least I can say that all the planning pays off! :-)
very clear . . . and useful
Ottimo lavoro!!!! 🔝👍🇮🇹
I built mine almost the exact same way with the intent of having nesting workbenches under either side. Great build!
Cool, I'm excited to start thinking of how I'll use the spaces underneath!
I've been wracking my brain trying to come up with a miter table/drill press/extension arm solution for my workshop. Then, BAM this video. It's EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks!
Beautiful!
Молодец круто 💪💪💪💪💪
Love it. Thanks.
Thank you. Great vid!
Thanks!
Excelente idea 🇲🇽
Very good, simple design and implementation. Thanks.
Good job and tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job
thanks for sharing !!
Awesome build,! Will probably use some details from your plans. Thanks!
Excellent! Enjoy the build!
Love your videos and how you leave your mistakes in and say, don’t do it this way. I’m building out my new shop and using some of your plans, thanks for sharing
Great ideas Marie, Thank you very much.
That’s cool!!!
Thank you!
I know I'm 3 years late in posting, but I'm just starting my small wood shop at age 61 and after looking at all kinds of videos on this subject, this is exactly what I need to do to start. I will follow more of your videos, and yes I did subscribe, so thanks for posting this video ! Cheers from an old guy in Utah... ;-)
Great ideas.
What great mitre saw bench!!! You got my subscription 😉
Awesome, thanks! Appreciate it 👍
thank you for not blaring saw noise in your video... so much more enjoyable to watch
I really like the sliding stop blocks! And the extension bars. Two great ideas I will steal for my build.Thanks for posting the video.
Awesome, my pleasure! Thank you
I love that idea of pull out support 💯🎯
Nice work. I might have to add an extension to my setup now. Thx.
Thanks!
Great work!
Felicitaciones!
Hey DIY Montreal! Miter saw looks good in the station. Some cool features too. The extension wing is a great idea. I put extension wings on my custom job site miter station and they come in handy often.
Awesome, I'm sure they do come in handy on the job site! Thanks :)
Love your builds. Add a nut and a lock washer to the carriage bolt before threading them on the legs. then when legs are leveled you can lock them from turning due to tool vibration.
Good tip, thanks!
Beautiful I love it Marie.
