- Hello Fellow Woodworkers!
Welcome to this weeks' edition of The Garage Workshop and part one in a major new mitre saw station build!
In this weeks’ video, I design and construct the main cabinet of the new mitre saw station. In this build a use wooden slats instead of drawer slides and carefully construct the station based around my design for storage the most amount of tools as possible.
Join me in part 2 of the series where I create the drawers and mount the actual mitre saw.

It's looking good so far. As for a finish, you could paint it, but I like it as is. I'm looking forward to seeing the result.
Thanks Mark!
Gary, the reason you tracksaw is struggling at times is that you are not supporting both side of the cut line. As such the weight of the unsupported side causes the board to droop / drop and nips your tracksaw blade causing the burns and the saw struggling. With the correct depth and some wast 6mm mdf sheet under the board you are cutting you should be able to cut across the middle of you bench without cutting into it. Alternatively get a sheet of polystyrene insulation and place it on the floor and the. Cut sheets on the floor - you’ll get much better cuts.
Thanks for the tip Duncan!
Nice build so far, looking forward to part two. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Steve much appreciated!
Turned out great now looking forward to the next video. Your skills are definitely improving week by week which is nice to see. Your channel is the only channel I seem to watch regularly every week. The sound quality was also much better in this video. Keep on doing what you're doing
Now I just need to get my backside back in the workshop as I have lots to do to sort my workshop out
Thanks Dave...that's such a massive compliment coming from you...your channel is fab!
Great build. I really need to take a leaf from your book and put more thought and planning into my projects. Looking good so far, keep up the good work. Pete Ford
Thank you!
Hi Roger, It's looking good can't wait for pt2. for a hard working surface may be a laminate top and for a good and easy wipe clean surface on the ply sides boiled linseed oil is a nice finish. As always a great video Take care
Hi Shaun...yeah I am considering that......just the price.
Great video, really enjoyed it, looking forward to part two. Not sure I'd put a finish on it, perhaps some spray varnish on the top to help keep it clean.
Thanks Steve!
Another nice build.
First of all thoughts on a finish. For the bench top, a black laminate can preserve the worktop for years and years. Obviously more expensive than a varnish or lacquer but highly durable (and looks great!)
Other points for consideration - Firstly, your pocket hole jig that was giving you issues with metal shavings. I've had this myself, certainly with cheaper jigs. It's generally one of two things. Firstly, it's a poorly calibrated jig that happens in the factory, meaning that the holes aren't completely straight and the drill bit is rubbing - ruining your drill bit. Or if it's not that, then it can be a drill bit that is not perfectly straight. My gut says it's the former (as your Kreg jig doesn't seem to be doing it with that drill bit)......in which case i'd file this in the nearest bin and buy a Trend pocket hole jig. Excellent quality.
Your issue with the Brad Nailer. I had a similar issue with my Ryobi Air Strike (and a bit like you, tried to see what the problem was buy looking at the firing mechanism.........a millisecond later, the nail that was stuck flew out at top speed and headed straight for my left eye. Without my saftey glass on, i would've been blinded for sure!!! I won't be making that mistake ever again.)
The issue you may have is a sticking firing pin. A bit of 3 in 1 oil/spray normally helps. You may need to see if you can access the firing pin. With the Air Strike it's simple enough, but not sure with your pneumatic one.
Wow Matt...that was so lucky....I will check the firing pin I never thought of that thank you for the tip!
Very good, even though I don’t personally like pocket holes, your bench seemed to fit nicely. When are you going to make something other than workshop items.
Hi LLoyd...yeah fair point...I am working on a design for a new Tv stand...
