- In case anyone's unclear, this is all in good fun. Every creator I've featured here is someone I admire, and honestly, I'm a little jealous of those crazy miter stations! And while those may be out of reach for some of us, they were a great inspiration in the planning of this one.

Thanks! I'm not a man, so I will be making a real WOman's miter saw bench
You do it, Erin! A real woman's miter saw bench will probably be better in every way!!
@@worstworkshop "backwards and in high heels"?
@@geeksam and in time with the music.
As a person who consumes a lot of wood working content; It's nice to see someone promoting "What can I do in the couple of hours I have on a Saturday afternoon, that will let me do more the next Saturday afternoon". Sometimes the best solution is productivity forward, not quality forward. "but you should take pride in every aspect!" you say. I do, but I take pride in the end product, and my end product isn't a miter saw station, today anyway.
Thanks so much! In the end, it's a bench to support your boards. It could be a sawhorse, if your floor is flat enough. This was way more fun though. I really enjoyed seeing what I could do with it other than use it with my miter saw.
Your authenticity is off the charts and your humor fits perfectly with your style of woodworking-family oriented and accessible to all economic levels (not everyone one can afford to buy new lumber for every project or new tools let alone high end tools). Please keep your videos coming!
Aw, thanks man. Sure will.
This is very practical and useable. I will be building mine in line with what you've shown.
Thanks. I'm so glad you find it useful!
So far we're at -1 subscribers on this video! If you can recognize a joke when you see one, and for some reason haven't yet subscribed, let's get it at least into positive numbers!! :)
Within 30 seconds I knew I’d like this guy
Thanks!
wow so refreshing compared to linear actuators 3d models and tens of thousands in tools... simple, effective, flexible design and an empowering concept. subscribed
Thanks so much!
Great ideas and not breaking the bank either. Gets the job done and keeps your work secure and you safer.
Thanks! It turned out better than I expected.
Your humor and your incorporation of your kids is what led me to subscribing! Keep it up!
I really appreciate it!
you had my sub at the nose hair pulling with the pliers. I'm all yours sir.
That makes it all worth it...I think. :)
i love the accessibility presented here - i could consume the hobbyist/laymen-accessible content endlessly.
Thanks. I'm not capable of much more!
Nicely done. Shop furniture don't need to win no beauty competition! Getting the job done the best you can is what matters in the end. Also I'm a turtle... More on that next week 😂
You're a turtle? Can't wait to see that!
@@worstworkshoplower you expectations now. 😂
Yes. I love me some Baltic birch... however I just used used kitchen cabinets and threw on top 1 layer of MDF and 1 layer of melamine plywood. Still haven't put any edge trim on it, even after 4 years.
Oh yeah, used the same leveling feet. They're great!
Premium plywoods are worth the expense, but it's a budget consideration. Those feet though, are quite a bargain. Thanks for watching!
Funny enough this is exactly the set up Id like to build fornmy miter saw. With a drill press on one side and pen lathe on the other.
Great work!
Awesome work again! I think you are ready for the WWE. I liked Lil Bit's cameos too. I hope Princess is getting around better now. Please take good care of yourself, I hope you and your family are having a wonderful week.
Thanks. She's doing great. First day of physical therapy today, and it's mostly just a matter of regaining some strength at this point. I think by Christmas she'll be 100%.
Very nice. I am glad I found your channel.
Me too!
Wow, thanks. I'm a mostly hand tool worker who is gearing up to do mostly power, and the idea of using holdfasts... well, I'm already packed with that muscle memory. This is kinda genius.
But now I'm really wishing I could have holdfasts on a table saw sled.
It's kind of a facepalm moment, isn't it? Like...why has nobody ever done this before? Glad to help!
I built the most amazing station for my miter sat / router / chop saw. / sideways table saw / planer / and sander. 12 ft on each side that fold down to make lockable cabinets for my shop vacuum and spray paints. It is So over engineered with the center section changes for the desired power tool. but since its outside under my car port I can never just leave the tool on it. The big spool that fell off a power company’s trailer has become my go to. I just slapped a fresh sheet of plywood on the top and a pice of dry erase surface over that. Its not what I had originally planned but it gets used more than the purpose built table because that always has something that I have picked up along the way and haven’t found a place to store it yet. A wooden bed frame or a nice drawer I might repurpose. that over built workbench has become a catch all For other projects. the big ol spool is my mostly used work bench because it is clear from clutter because all the other stuff ends up on the real work bench. Great video I am enjoying your channel so far. Good editing I appreciate it. The audio levels at the start are a little off but the video as a whole is well done.
That's a great story. I've been there. Right now I'm building a workbench on the principle that my environment needs to adapt to me, because my habits aren't likely to change.
You earned a subscription my man great work for a real man not fantasy woodworkers with everything clear coated and pretty who has time for that?
RUclipsrs, apparently. :)
Loved your introduction was quite refreshing and informative so I decided to come along on your journey and subscribed…..👍👍
Glad you enjoyed that!
Funny, the next video in my feed is a Mike Farrington very high $$ 20' long opulent 'miter station'....As an average low budget guy, your videos are right up my alley. My 1st miter station was two old dressers with platforms on either side to match my Kobalt saw's height. Worked famously.
I love that so much. Built in drawers too!
I used the old drafting board as a table top and the legs were the only cost. You got a like for the Star Trek references.
Cool, thanks!
New subscriber. Came over here from youtube channel: Busted Knuckle Woodworks. Funny video. Look forward to catching up on the rest of your videos. God bless
Thanks, Robert! Lee from Busted Knuckle is a good friend, and his videos are amazing. Look forward to seeing you around!
It turned out fantastic, dude! Really well done! 😃
And it's shop furniture! Who cares how beautiful it is or not? It just needs to work! 😉
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Holdfasts! Yes, that's genius. A stop of any size you like. I'm gonna be doing that when I get to making my mitre station. Do your stops slip around at all?
The whole system is new, so I guess I'll see over time. All I can say is that I've never seen one move yet. And when you knock in a holdfast, it's SOLID. If you can swing it, the forged ones are much better than these cast ones I have. Someday I'll upgrade and use these elsewhere.
@@worstworkshop I’ve got a pair of holdfasts that I was lucky enough to get from a real blacksmith. If I can use them for stopping at a mitre station, he might be getting a second order from me
@@delinquenice That's awesome! Put them to work.
For some reason, I want to snap into a Slim Jim
Ha! Maybe I can get an endorsement from them.
Well done 🖖
Thank you!
I dig this design. I always just put my tiny miter saw on top of my table saw. I might have to do some rearranging and make room for a shorter version of this. Thanks.
Shorter works. You really just need half the length of the longest board you intend to cut, and that just on one side.
Great simple idea and it works great love how you keep your kids in all your videos
They're a little busy with school right now, but I try to get them in where I can.
love the birdpainting in the background!
Thanks! My eldest daughter made that.
Love it! Nice and simple. Thank you for including the links to the products as well!
No problem. If I may say so, those holdfasts will do the job, but if you can swing it, go for some forged ones. They'll cost more, but last a lifetime.
love your sense of humor
Thank you!
Thank you for the videos. Great to include your girls. While I enjoy the humor (keep it coming), I also recognize the kernels of truth and basic utility in your videos. In this video, I like the idea of attaching the thick board underneath the table top in order to allow your "hold fasts" to function properly. I would have tried to make the entire table top extra thick. Your way works, is cheaper and gets me to working on projects faster.
Thanks! So many years of not having money for materials has trained me to think differently than a lot of people, I guess.
@@worstworkshop even folks with an endless supply of money to throw at their work would have to appreciate that perspective. i grew up poor and spent a good deal of my adult life in poverty. Things are better now than they ever were but i relate entirely to keeping it simple, as inexpensive as possible, and thinking outside the box to get something accomplished and in the most sustainable way possible.
😂😂😂😂 challenge accepted!!! I will build a mitre station. Not a starship enterprise but maybe an oreville?
Or a Cerritos? You could even put a bunk on the bottom.
@@worstworkshop hahaha 🤣
Awesome! And yes 0:34 , this IS funny! 😄😆But maybe that's because I identify as "A Real Man" . Heck, I even got a beard!
I mean, I guess you CAN be a Real Man without a beard, but it's not easy.
@@worstworkshop Growing a beard sure helps at looking the part, right?
HYSTERICAL DAVID! Great information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've watched a couple of your videos before, but this one got me to subscribe. Genius idea with the holdfasts, not sure why I've never seen that before. It really is just a great idea. The clamps that come with most miter saws are basically just screw version of holdfasts, why not just go old school and use the real thing? Much quicker and easier than the screw versions.
I really appreciate that. And thanks for subscribing!
The best definition I've ever read for engineer is "someone who can do for half a pence what any fool can do for a pound." I'd give credit to the original author, but I read this more than 40 years ago and cannot recall his name.
That's brilliant!
Time to take one of those "real man" sharpies and scribble NCC-1701 on the skirt of that table.
That's...a great idea! Done.
Pretty clever build David. Not as clever as mine 😉 but still, not bad 😊
I'm proud to stand in your shadow!
LOL Lee
Well done
Thank you!
Once again a great post! Keep them coming.
Thanks, Mark!
lol, love it!!! If people don't get the joke, then let them unsubscribe! And its quite reminiscent of my own miter saw station when you mentioned the using the dining table tops. Very clever! Randy Macho Man Savage has nothing on you! OOooooo Yeaaahhh!
I'm honored to be in such fine company!
@@worstworkshop
Great content! I'm lucky that my kids are still young enough to laugh at all my silly voices. All my shop furniture is also very useful but not pretty! Well done on a great channel! I always smile when I see you have dropped a new video!
I'm really glad to hear that. Keep it up with the silly voices and bad jokes!
Great video!!! Love the build.
Thank you!
Whoooooooooooooooo Brother! Nice use of all the stuff you got and don't sell it short it has all the features you need.
Right on!
Man I'm picking up some real Joe Dirt Dad vibes here.
Man...I need to watch that movie again. It was funny.
Amazing. 👏👏👏
What? YOU'RE AMAZING!
I believe that there had to have been some Miter Saw vibes in the air here in DFW recently... I found myself lamenting only a couple of weeks ago: "How on earth do I manage to make consistent and usable miter cuts in board ends????"
Well, this video did not answer my own personal question, but the timing cannot be ignored. :)
Great video, great points throughout, and great ideas displayed in an entertaining - and repeatable - fashion. I do particularly love the inclusion of that footage of Jesus. I'm a big fan. :D
Me too!
So if I could I unsubscribe then re subscribe to make up for that one minus subscription. I’d do it.
I enjoy your vids and get the humor. Gotta say though just a little disappointed that you don’t have the Festool miter saw cutting like butta’ …lol! 😂
At least it's green! Thanks a lot though. RUclips is about finding your audience, and part of that isn't knowing who isn't your audience. I never want to hurt anybody's feelings or put anybody off, but it's better than being bland and inauthentic.
Only when you think you've seen it all
Love it 😂 best woodworking channel on RUclips!! I’ll be building this for my own workshop so keep an eye out for my new channel for kudos!
Thanks! I just subbed your channel. Can't wait to see what you make!
Hey, wait just a second there... Do you also watch Meme Monday with Thor Skywalker and Naboo? 😯
Because they showed a meme of someone mistaken Ezra for Jesus as well!!! 😂
Ha! No, but I do try to keep up with my memes, and that one's been floating around, along with the pictures of Obi-Wan Jesus. To be fair, Ezra is probably a bit more historically accurate.
@@worstworkshop Very true! 😂
Either way, I ended up a bit disappointed with the Ahsoka series... But Ezra and Anakin killed it!
I just subscribed because of the "Jesus Himself" reference
Thanks! I hope Jesus would think it's funny too.
😅 Bam! man cam!
This video needed more man cam!
Everything thing is so redicoulus he is right..
I settle in a a Paulk total station and an ver happy
Yeah, that's a brilliant design. It's a complicated build, but benches are an investment. And the fact that it's portable... if I were a carpenter, I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a better solution.
@@worstworkshop I’m building mine now
@@worstworkshop just go on buy ten sheets of 18mm and 1 sheet for patterns and take you time
A thumbs-up from me just for plucking your nostril hairs with a pair of pliers!
It was supposed to be pretend, but I accidentally got a hold of one!
@@worstworkshop Good Lord! My eyes are watering at the very thought!! 😂
@1:26 did i spy an unpaid cat-tax? >_>
Wait, wait...I don't know about the cat tax! Fill me in.
Was that a Wasp nest under your table ? Time 1:31
It sure was. One of the reasons you see so much rust on my tools is that for a long time, anything could come in through open soffits and a roof but no ceiling. Wasps, really strong rain, birds, whatever. It was that way for years, and I'm constantly running across old wasp nests. Good eye.
🤣🤣🤣
You're daughter is right, dude. Is there anything inexpensive anymore?
For real.
I saw a mitre station at floor hight that was more manly than this
You got me there. Was it made of dirt?
how you doing......by the way real men don't ware sandal's in the shop. 😀🙂🙃😉
Jesus probably did
Is that Clint Howard
