-T-tracks/stop block
-lots of storage (4 cabinets & 12 drawers)
-oscillating sander
-drill press
-swiveling vice
Sehr gut gemacht
Loved the idea of including the sander.
Really good for "winging-it" Everyone starts somewhere - we are not born with this skill so I say you did very well.
I like that hood design. Great station.
Love your drawer pulls
The dust collector selector was new to me. Nice Work
Nice job sir I am in the same process with my workshop at home and I am a joiner 😂but I am lucky l have a double garage and I am just getting around to it 😂and no cars to go into 😊l have put a lot of draws and pigeons holes for my Milwaukee packouts l do like yours small draw’s good idea for these little spaces 😊
What an amazing build it looks great. You did amazing work also. Keep up the great job. Can’t wait to see what you do next
Very nice design, great work.
That’s an awesome build. I built a miter saw workstation a few years ago. I put mine on locking casters so I can move around the shop when I need to. It’s the most used shop project I’ve ever done. You will enjoy it. It makes it easy to stay organized and most important repeatable cuts.
You’re welcome for the Woodpecker tool. I keep mine on the workbench but don’t use it as much anymore.
Wow! My second favorite hobby after woodworking is watching miter station videos and this one has shot to the top with a rocket! Love that you incorporated the sander and the drill press into otherwise wasted space. Also, the hinges on the custom fit doors for the miter saw is super smart. I really dig the cherry handle accents and the entire thing just came out great. I fear I might actually have to build my miter station soon and steal alot of these ideas.
Great work. Once I've completed the few small projects I've started, I will be building something like this for myself.
1 recommendation, replace the zip tie on the saw dust extraction for an automotive radiator hose clamp. 👌🏻
Those drawer pulls look amazing. Well done. Totally worth it.
OMG - perfect timing, thank you for posting. I have been scouring RUclips for tips on this. I love the drill press integration. I now plan to do the same. Very nicely planned and executed.
Awesome! Thanks so much.
Great build. The drawer pulls, although time consuming, def make this project stand out. I may have to borrow this idea for my station build in a few months. Keep up the good work.
First, it looks really sharp. Love that birch/cherry contrast! It's funny how many of the old school guys (like myself) used whatever we had to make shop furniture. Your old bench makes me think you may have had one toe in that same group. But now that you've graduated to the beautiful shop furniture club, congrats! I'm getting ready to set up my new shop, again, and you've given me so many great ideas! Thanks Kyle!!!
Love this set-up. Great idea for a future build. Great job
One of the best mitre station builds I’ve seen in awhile.
Thanks!
Outstanding build Mr. K. Spencer! Gave ne a bunch of ideas for my own re-working of my miter station. Keep making! you gained a subscriber!
Thanks for the sub!
I've watched a lot of miter saw station build videos and this is hands down the best one I've seen.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Nicely done! Love the handle design you came up with and the contrasting colors really make your miter station pop.
Nice build. Definitely given me some ideas for my miter saw station build.
So much great things you have put in that compacted space - really awesome!
Thanks so much!
Great build, looks absolutely gorgeous! You did a fine job with those door, and drawer pulls! I love how the old cherrywood contrasts the maple plywood. Again, looks absolutely stunning!
Great build! Thanks for sharing
Very nice project! I especially like the drawer pulls. 👍👍
Thanks!
Kyle this is amazing work! Great job on your video!! Dang man you’re inspiring me!!!!!!
awesome job love the cherry pulls with the poplar wood. One of the best miter stations I have seen on here. And the mistakes made were all corrected in my book. Bravo!!!
Thanks so much!
your welcome keep up the awesome work and hope to see more videos from you.@@kspencer_handcrafted
@Handcraftedbykspencer thanks for the lesson! I really appreciate the fact you reused older stock! Good for you!
enjoyed this one!
Thanks!
Nice build!
So funny, I made the same mistake with my combo miter drill press station. Fear not, it is a happy accident. I had to take out the drill press later and I was so glad the slot was on the front. Otherwise I would have had to remove the perfectly aligned top!
Good to know!
Nice work! Keep it up!!
You did a great job, its a beautiful bench. But now you see WHY, on a bench like this, you always finish with a complete face frame, instead of piece by piece. That way you can hide the ugly plywood & second, you're not suck with your head between the drawer dividers, trying to screw pockethole screws. It's nicer and much easier when it's one big piece. But it's not a complaint, just a suggestion. All I can truly say is congratz, you did a great job!
Yes, will definitely have to do that next time!
Very impressive
Very nice build! Watching you put those boxes together, and I feel I should give you some advice. There will come a day when you have to pull, or worse dig a brad nail out of your thumb. Then you will pay more attention to hand placement. 😉
I had the same realization when editing the video 😳
Love what you have done here. I have the same Bosch miter saw, Rigid sander and a similar Wen drill press so I am going to borrow a number of your ideas in my work in progress miter saw station. Mine is being made from 3 desks (all solid wood, no plywood) that I got from Habitat for Humanity ReHab for $15 each! I consider myself a woodworking novice but I think that at one point (min. 20:26) in your video you were pushing your work the wrong way on your router table and by hand. Dangerous!
Glad you got some ideas! Thanks for your concern on the router process. It was actually a light pass so I felt comfortable with it, and in fact wasn’t a climb cut because there was material on the back side of the bit as I had already removed material from the previous pass. I had started making that pass from the normal L to R method and realized that was creating a climb cut and wanting to grab the material. Not sure if that makes sense; I didn’t end up explaining that well in the video as I figured most folks would’t want to duplicate that multi step process for those specific pulls.
Regarding the drill press, I would have just cut the hole. Removed the drill from the pole and slid the pole through the hole and then reattach the drill head. No need fir a slot at all.
In hindsight I agree completely.
Great job! Thanks for taking the time to document it all. Curious how many hours you estimate this took you. I know adding the camera work probably doubled the time, but wondering if you’d hazard a guess.
It’s really hard to say because it was often an hour or two here and there when free (so not very efficient) over the course of 3 months.
Would you share or sell the
plans?
Can you give us some dimentions?
It's 31 inches deep, and just over 8 feet wide. The worktop height is 38 inches.
I really like your design and want to build something similar. I have same saw and sander that I want to incorporate into my design as well, along with my drill press. Not sure if you have plans available, but I was wondering how tall your bench is? And then also how deep you had to make it so your saw could sneak behind the fence of our miter saw.
Don’t have plans that can be exported unfortunately (designed it with a free basic version). It’s just over 8 ft wide, 31 in deep, and the workbench is just about 38 in tall.
Great Job. I can really appreciate the utilization of space as much as possible with the sander and drill press. Also, great to see someone do a project like this with "normal" tools. I was so bummed to miss out on the Bosch sale! Approximately how long did the entire project take you?
I wish I had a descent estimate. Since it's just a hobby, I usually put in an hour of work here and there after the kids go to bed, which makes it hard to estimate... I worked on it over the span of 4 months or so maybe putting in 3-6 hours a week.
Great video and miter station. This is prefect for the same scenario I am in. Do you have plans for this setup?
I used a free software that doesn't include exports with a basic subscription. If I ever upgrade, I'll update this post.
Really nice build. What are the red corner clamps you are using to build the cabinet? Do you like them? They sort of look like the besseys but not exactly.
They are from Harbor Freight. I like them, but don’t use them as often as I thought I would. These are more practical for me having used both: a.co/d/0Cz8qVh
Great video! How deep is the over all cabinet?
Thanks! Right at 30”.
Looking to build a miter station and I have the same miter saw and drill press. Out of curiosity, is there a reason you didn’t take the base off the drill press to install it instead of cutting the shelf? Whatever the case - good video. I followed and liked. ❤
If I would have realized the ramifications of a possible screwup, I definitely would have done that. I was trying to avoid disassembling the drill press as my original solution seemed the easiest, but in hindsight, I think a hole through the work top would’ve been the simplest solution.
Great build. What do you do for a living? For your first build of this kind, it is beautiful.
Thanks! I’m actually a director of church music and worship. This is just my hobby
Do you have a way to share the plans? I have the same miter saw, and have been looking for a good bench/station plans for it!
I used a free program which doesn’t appear to have a way to export the plans. If I ever upgrade to a software that allows it, I’ll let you know.
@@bigk5486 that would be awesome, can't believe it doesn't have a way to export or allow the file to be dumped somewhere for upload. Upgrading to this saw soon and trying to model my own cabinet but its hard to find good details on specific saw dimensions.
Great job & design! How deep is your miter station?
Basically 31”
How do you like your Miter saw? Any regrets for choosing it over Makita LS1219L?
I’m liking it for the most part. Never considered the Makita, but had a DeWalt that was a bit more accurate with the rail system. I’ve noticed that at its farthest reach, the Bosch arm can present a little flex. However I’m overall much more happy to have this saw with its compact bench size and better dust collection solution. (However, it still needs a hood as this saw is notorious for making lots of dust-something to research in comparison to the Makita.)
Your Miter Station is a beautiful build! Love the utility of it! I've saved your video for future reference.
Care to share the plan?
If I may, Shara of @WoodshopDiaries has a great tutorial on drawer making using plywood and pocket screws.
I don’t have plans that can be exported unfortunately (designed it with a free basic version).
Great job! Do you have plans for sale?
Thanks! I don't as of yet as I used a a free version of software which doesn't allow exports, but I've had a number of requests, so if I upgrade then I'll let ya know!
How deep is your station? is it 24"?
31 inch deep worktop, and the drawer pulls stick out a bit more than than.
Dude.... 18:17 to 18:30 is a millisecond from a major finger issue. Use a clamp, dont be stupid.
Pretty trusting your nails aren't gonna blow out into your finger making the drawers!!!😢
