Epic Miter Station Build (Tons of Storage)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- This is my first real build. It is a @JayBates inspired miter station where I incorporated my experience with laminate to add a decorative element. I made plenty of mistakes but had fun and was totally pleased with the outcome. I even purchased some new tools to help me with the build. I've listed some of them below.

Long steady pull strokes with file. Let the teeth do the work without sliding up. Keep the angle and position. Draw filing at an angle closer to perpendicular.
Fantastic cabinets. Love the dimensions and how they fit in your shop. Love the color line. Small drawers so great for handling all the small tools.
Thanks! Appreciate the tips!
Hey man, the fix for your measuring mistake is genius! I was thinking to put the spacer on the cabinet. Putting it on the drawer is perfect.
Thanks! But your idea would work just as well. I was just trying to hide the mistake 😭
Absolutely fantastic video! For your first tutorial on building with wood, this was incredibly well done. The quality of the video is top-notch, and your presentation is clear and engaging. The step-by-step instructions made it so easy to follow along. The miter station you built looks professional and sturdy - a true testament to your craftsmanship. Can't wait to see more woodworking projects from you! Keep up the excellent work!
Wow! Thank you so very much! I’m glad you liked it 🙌
This is beautiful and all the storage is phenomenal
Thank you!!!
Well done! Saw you later got the track square from TSO. Makes using the tracks so much easier and more accurate. Like someone commented below…you have partaken of the green festool kool aid….oh my,,,you’re in for it now. Ask me how I know, lol.
Thanks! @rw7532 LOL...kool aid...I like to think of it more as a fine wine, you get what you pay for :-)
You can make yourself a sanding block with 80 grit paper and just sand on the side grain.
Are you referring to the edge banding?
Whoaaa! What a build!
Thank you!
Pretty slick build. My garage wall on that side has needed a station for many years. Definitely grabbing the track saw before embarking, as I too am very tired of wrestling full sheets through the table saw; for the birds.
Thanks! The track saw is definitely a game changer. You won't be disappointed. @wittworks has some great videos on track saw comparisons. You might want to check him out.
I have seen those as well in my many hours of going down the rabbit hole of woodworking channels.
Great build! look forward to seeing the next step.
Thanks! @SaludWoodworks I’m actually rendering the next video as I type
Great video. FYI Cut list optimizer does allow you to choose grain direction.
Thank you!! I guess I totally missed that feature on cut list optimizer. I'll go back and have a look. Thanks for the heads up!
Looks amazing! Nice work
Thank you!!
Sweet! Well done sir.
Thank you!! Appreciate it
Great job 👍, well done
Thank you @martinsweetman6796 !!!
Quite the project! Results were outstanding.
Thank you! Appreciate it!
Awesome build my friend. Keep up the great builds. Look forward to more builds in the future!
Thanks! Most definitely more builds coming
Beautiful work and just in time too because I want to build a miter station. Love the patterned drawer fronts, very nicely done. I’m subscribing for well executed ideas.
Thank you @pauline_diy! Let me know how yours turns out!
Nice build!
Thanks @mickey533!
Great project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! More to come...lots of projects in the pipeline.

nice looking miter station
Thank you @angiewilliamsdesigns!
Very nice miter station build!
Thank you very much!
Looks great. Good video and editing. Appreciate your willingness to show mistakes and then your fixes.
Thank you! Mistakes are the way we learn, so why not share. Thanks for watching!
F A N T A S T I C ! Excellent work and great design my friend. A real inspiration. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much @Nachoze70 !! Appreciate the kind words
Very cool project, man! What an absolute banger.
Much appreciated!
Time well spent on getting that pattern to line up. Looks great!
Yes! Thank you!
Nice job!
Cut your festool bags at the bottom and use a small piece of wood to roll it up, clamp it with small clamps, and just empty the bag that way. It barely leaves any dust in the actual container and you save THOUSANDS in buyer their bags.
(I bet someone that’s handy with a needle and thread could sew a zipper on it)!
Thanks @shawnhillis5829 ! Thanks for the tip! I did already buy a 5-pack of bags 😭
@@SmallProjectCentral well I don’t even own one but just watched another YT video on how to save $ with supplies and came across that tip. 😂
I plan to do it with the rigid shop vac after I run out of the multi pack I just bought too 🥲
WoW! Great job! Looking forwarded to your future builds. Keep up the nice work. Love the greek key laminate. Can you please share where you purchased it?
Thanks @Bulldozzerdoser! Unfortunately this is a discontinued laminate. Formica had this about 8 years ago. You may want to check with your local Formica distributor. They may have left over inventory. I just googled it and saw this. Not sure if they still have. goodvaluecenter.com/index.php?option=com_eshop&view=category&id=640&Itemid=334
Really good video even when you make errors you show what happened. God knows I have made the same errors on drawers except my drawers were too wide. BTW I use Cutlist + and if you right click on the part in Parts tab you can rotate the part(s). Pretty cool program. I enjoyed your video very much.
Thanks @flatlander523! I will definitely check that out!
I made a similar error with drawer widths on a cabinet I was building. My drawer slides had tabs on them that I could bend out slightly and that took care of it but I like your solution.
Thanks @ch1ck3n1 I thought about the tabs but I was concerned with the weight I’d be putting in the drawers. Oh well, we learn by our mistakes 😂 Thanks for watching!
Be careful with that Festool stuff. It will get you! LOL. I started with a track saw and a domino and now I've gone completely crazy for everything they make. I will say, the MFT makes batching cuts out extremely easy. I liked it so much that I ended up with three joined lengthwise and I run the Benchdogs UK fence system. It makes cabinet making extremely easy. Great video!
Thanks @brentprosser7293! I think I do have the Festool bug...lol. It's kinda contagious.
Sooooo true. I started with a domino and now I have track saws, drills, dust extractor, routers......
I didn't understand how to got the pattern on the drawer fronts to match up but they turned out fantastic.
Thank you! I laid the drawer front on top of the decorative side of the laminate, adjusted it to be parallel with the pattern, traced it, and then transferred those lines to the back of the laminate. It was super time-consuming but it turned out well in the end. Thanks for watching!
Cutlist optimizer does allow grain direction. I use it all the time on my phone.
Thanks, I must’ve totally missed it. I will definitely go back and check it out. Thanks for the heads up
@@SmallProjectCentral there's a small blue looking asterisk. That means no grain direction. Tap it and it'll go to arrows going up/down, tap again and it has arrows left/right, tap again back to no asterisk.
Use Roo glue when you need to add glue to pre finished ply. It’s for non porous surfaces like melamine and works great on the pre finished ply
Ahhhh, so there is a way! Thank you! Definitely a must buy for the workshop
Mess up laminate. Squirt acetone between will release. Let dry. Do over.
Thanks @Daniel-jn2wm!
Very cool! But you’re not worried only having a few feet on the right side for off cuts? Not worried you will need one of the mitre angle positive stops that is on the wrong side and you won’t be able to fit the board in?
Totally agree @MMMS75 I have such a small space I’m working in. The cabinets to the left of the miter saw are only 72” overall. I think I optimized for storage over function. Hopefully the majority of my projects are small… :-)
Awesome build. Definitely taking inspiration from your setup for my upcoming project. How deep are your cabinets (Both the base and uppers)?
Thanks! The base is 23-3/4” deep and the uppers are just shy of 12” deep
Great Vid!! What were the rough dimensions of the base cabinets please? Thx!
Thanks! @BergFamilyable the left hand side is 72" wide (each cab is 24"), the miter counter is 28.5" and the right hand base cab is 30".
Nice job but way over my budget ,I would rather buy oak,walnut ash sticks
With the $ . Cheers
Thanks! I'm kinda lucky in that I found a local wholesaler that sells to the public.
Makes me want to go out and build.
Could you have laminated the sheet of material first and then cut the drawer fronts from the full piece to keep from having to do so much layout?
I thought about that but was afraid I’d get chip out on the laminate. I’m going to try to avoid any geometric patterns in the future lol
What laminate pattern did you use for the drawer fronts? Looks sweet!
Thanks. It’s actually a discontinued pattern. It was a limited time offering from Formica and I had bought three sheets. Glad I saved them
