This is an easy to build fully modular system! I show you how to build base cabinets, which can be done in 2' or 3' widths. And upper cabinets in 2' or 3' sections. So this project is scalable to any size! Mine is 13' wide, but you could easily build it anywhere from 3' - 20' wide or more. Simply by adding or subtracting components.
You also can just as easily make the base with drawers as I did or with shelving & cabinet doors, like I did the uppers. You will also see how to build a rigid semi-torsion box style top, in which to embed your miter saw.
And you choose the level of build that you want. from basic ply, to Baltic birch, or even hardwoods. Any of which will make a perfectly functional Extreme Miter Station.
All of this is detailed in this 4-part video series, and available in full comprehensive plans on our website. kingsfinewoodworking.com
My build:
This is a 13' long x 7' tall miter station containing sixteen dovetailed drawers, in four base cabinets, a bank of six upper cabinets, and a bunch of storage shelving cubby holes in the middle.
The bodies of the cabinets are mostly Baltic birch plywood. the drawer fronts are from leftover pieces of walnut plywood that I had from a kitchen job. And the sides are skinned with 1/4" cherry plywood.
I used architect's scale triangular aluminum rulers for the drawer pulls. I drilled and tapped them just for this project. And the upper cabinet handles are actually 3" c-clamps.
My old miter station had a 12" DeWalt sliding compound miter saw, that used up too much space in my shop. The dual bars that the miter head slid on forced me to keep the saw 11" further from the shop wall than I wanted.
After researching, I found the Bosch Glide 12" dual Bevel miter saw that could be placed practically against the wall of the shop. Because of that, I would be able to gain almost a foot of space in my shop. That's quite a bit when the shop isn't as big as I'd like.
Plus my old miter station was put together very quickly, because I needed something functional right away to keep up with my woodworking jobs. So it was not the prettiest looking station.
I took my time, did some research, and spent several days building this Extreme Miter Station. Something I can be proud of.
Plans are available on my website! I hope you come back and see all 4 parts of this video series.

Assembly table do u have any play i would love to make that😀 the one that has masking paper on it
Well I watched the 4 shows and it’s now 02.46hr (early morning in the Scotland) but you are such a wonder to watch I wish I have your ideas, but as I am wheelchair bound I do do woodworking and love it, thanks! Ps you have a lovely family So stay safe from coronavirus and keep your family safe to, all the best Dale
Great video series - I love that you used French cleats for the top cabinets!!! love it
I'd be proud to have that as a kitchen. Very beautiful.
I,like so many others had to watch all 4 "episodes" back to back.Welldone,your calm manner makes watching the videos a treat.I especially like that this was and your other projects are family affairs,I can only imagine how proud you must be to have a family ready to tackle such endeavors.I've installed very high-end custom cabinetry so I am well-acquainted with the effort that's needed to complete projects like this,so hats off to your wife and kids for sharing the load.One tip I might give is when you have many identical items (drawers,drawer openings,drawer fronts,doors) build a jig,if the openings are the same then the screw holes for slides will be in the same relative place for all others.Same goes for drawers and doors (for hinge placement).In custom cabinetry,this is a given.I look forward to seeing more of your great projects!
Awesome detail in the video. Really makes woodworking seem possible for a beginner. Most videos on here cut or fast forward through the details you share. Thank you very much.
Hi William. Thanks for the nice compliment.
Best miter station build I have seen. Watched all 4 parts. Thank you for taking the time.
Hi Steve, thank you for the great compliment.
I watched all four , absolutely fantastic craftsman and women
Great Work... Nice to see your daughter working with you she will be a Great Wood worker. Look forword to seeing more from You and your Family.
Thanks for the detailed view of the build. Have followed all parts. Very nice work. Looks great.
Thank you James, really enjoyed this series on your miter station. Great job! Looked into buying the Bosch Glide Miter Saw, a little over 800 UK Pounds. I think I will live with the lost space for the time being.. First time I have made a "comment", and I want to say how good it was to see you include your family in the making of your video's. It was funny most of the time you introduced them but it was great to see your youngest Daughter with hands on the tools. I buy my own Daughter her own tools and it is a joy to teach her, but it is her enthusiasm for the craft that gives me the most pleasure. I see that with you and your Daughter. Totally entertaining and enlightening.
Hi Cameron, Thank you for all the kind comments. I do really enjoy the shop time with my girls. And, wow! That saw sure is a lot more there.
The blocks are very nice. You could even make knobs. Great idea
Really love your videos. I watched all 4 parts. Thanks for sharing. I’m a self thought newbe, so stumbeling upon King Fine Woodworking, is like finding gold :)
Thank you. That’s very kind!
What a craftsman, for a hobbyist like myself you couldnt give more detail and your explanation of your process, excellent and insightful! you sir should have a show on discovery. Cheers
Hi Andrew! You are too kind! Thank you.
James, a huge thank you for posting this project and video series. I am in the planning stages of my own (amateur) workshop, and I have reviewed MANY miter station projects; I will definitely be buying your plans and putting it in my shop. Your thorough and detailed videos will help me immensely when it's time for the build. You also deserve much respect for involving your family in your projects and encouraging your kids' interest in your craft - it is so great seeing them enjoying it, and even though they may not realize it yet, you are teaching them skills that will serve them for the rest of their lives. It is an unfortunate fact that these days, not enough kids spend their time on worthwhile endeavors like working with their hands and minds...what you guys are doing as a family is so important and valuable. Major kudos to you!
Thank you so much for the compliments and all the kind words! Have fun with your build! And, I am always here if you ever have any questions during the process.
Nice Extreme Miter Station, I am hoping to build a miter station soon myself. It is always good to get ideas from the community. Also fun that your Daughter and rest of the family helps out. Makes it extra enjoyable.
Hi Matt! Have fun building your miter station. I really enjoy being able to build with my wife and children. Thank you for watching.
~James
What a true craftsman! You and your entire family! Thank you for all your hard work putting out these videos! I will be watching my friend! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
1. Grate station.
2. Awesome learning videos.
3. Excellent family job.
Well done!
Thank you very much!
This turned out great! The juxtaposition of the two woods looks good and the pulls are a nice touch to a usually boring item. Well done James.
Thistledown Woodcraft, thank you very much!
Very beautiful job! Thanks for sharing! ♡♡
It turned out very well and should give you years of service. I just wish I had a shop half your size. I also think it's great your daughter is such a great helper.
Hi Steve! Thank you very much. I am very fortunate that she likes woodworking.
There is only one word for this: GREAT!
Best regards from Germany.
Thank you Alfred!
Watched all four you did a great job, and very understandable instructions as you went through the build.
This was a tremendous series to watch and listen to. I learned quite a few things from this.
Thank you!
dude thanks so much for this. I'm just about to make my own anyway based on Jay Bates' design and the timing of this is perfect, really detailed start to finish and some great ideas
Hi Jacob, I'm glad it could help. Thank you for the nice comments!
James, you did a fantastic job to your workshop your video's give loads of detail, I'm addicted them. Thank you.
i really appreciate the production of the video, no music, no fast forwarding,, getting hard to find these days.
as far as the project itself goes, lets just say i think norm abram would sincerely approve.
Vary impressive cabinet work. I learned a lot, especially hanging cabinets on a wall. I'm planning to do a large workbench with cabinets, and was not sure how to hang them. I'm also impressed with your daughter's skill at helping you. Thanks for your sharing your skills and ideas!
I also am about to make my miter saw station in my garage. I'm glad I saw your videos. I'm sure I will incorporate many ideas I get from you and Jay Bates and a few others.
Thank you.
Tell your daughter she ROCKS, it's good to see the younger generation working in skilled trades.
Thank you. I tell her that quite often. :-)
Thank you so much for the detailed build videos. As a new diy/woodworker, I can't express how helpful this has been with all of the different techniques that you outlined. Beautiful build sir.
Hi Eric! Thank you so much for the kind compliment. I am glad you enjoyed it. ~James
Great job on your miter station !
Miter saw ---> 600$
Miter saw station --->6000$
Awesome job! The pocket holes are not very popular in Germany but it semms they work fine and they are fast to install!
I've learned a lot from the videos keep going! 👍
Thank you!
Nice build. I really liked the tutorial on the Porter Cable dovetail jig.
Hi David! Thank you!
Absolutely amazing! The hardware is so cool! Gorgeous!
I've watched you build your extreme miter station, now for a long time. Very interesting I'm getting ready to do this to mine. I thank you for how you teach as well as work on your own stuff. I've learned a lot. Thank you.

Those look better than the cabinets in my kitchen. The series really gave me some good ideas on how to improve the looks in my house.
Awesome, thank you for watching.
Well Mr. King, I must apologize for possibly having forgotten your first name if you mentioned it? I've just sat through all 4 episodes of this with a few unexpected breaks, but I must say that you are amazing! Being a professional cabinet builder things from concept, layout, design, cut-out, alignment, set-up, and build alignment come easy for you after these years of practice, but even your honesty in commentary and willingness to not edit out the occasional whoops, show your integrity and admission of being human. Your patience to show us strangers, your son-in-law, and daughters also prove your awesomeness, as I'm confident that there are people that have/will watch this wishing to know half of what your children have been taught. This is truly a well thought out plan, and looks to be able to stand the test of time. I was unable to simply comment thank you for your time taken to not only impede yourself with the camera over your shoulder, but also edit in a manner that provides the pertinent details and cut out the mundane tasks. Your vision has come to life, and it's purely magnificent! Absolutely well done sir, you have without a doubt earned many followers and subscribers due to your calming attitude and fine craftsmanship! From the bottom of my heart I'd like to thank you for this series, and I definitely look forward to seeing more fabulous projects that will build confidence in my ability to woodwork. Thanks again, in case I've not stressed that enough.
Hi Charlie. That is possibly one of the kindest, most well written messages I have ever received. It really means a lot to all of us. Thank you so much for taking the time to write it. I wish I would have responded quicker. Take care.
~James and family
Love the c-clamp pulls. Thanks for sharing this build, it sucked me right in.
Haha, thank you!
Hi James, watching miter station build 5.11.2020. Not seeing the p/n for euro hinges you used. Great job enjoyed all four videos. Got a big kick out of your daughter photo bombing the pictures. You can tell she is big help to you. Until four years ago I lived in Aurora ( Chambers Heights) moved to Mesa AZ four years ago.
I watched all 4 episodes back to back and really enjoyed it. GREAT JOB :-)
Hey, thank you very much!
King's Fine Woodworking watched nearly all of your episodes now. Who needs Game of thrones when you have this 👍
What a beautiful project , done expertly & with the assistance of your own family. Your narration is very soothing & like watching a documentary; far more valuable than a cheap movie where there is usually very little if anything of substance.What a fortunate man to be surrounded by women only; but more importantly sharing your passion with your girls is priceless. In years to come as they grow into adults, that bond you create with your children when they are young will remain. They will have memories to cherish & share with their own offsprings. Every time I wanted to share with my boy; he had to go abroad; so I guess unlike you I will seldom have this golden once in a lifetime opportunity to do what you did. I very much look forward to seeing more project. In fact I subscribed on the second installment of your project. very well executed. Kind regards.
Thank you for your very nice comments!
Great looking forward to it!
This thing is magnificent.
Hi Constantine! Thank you!
Awesome cabinets and great video. Thanks
awesome build watched all 4 wow
Thank you!
awesome work James outstanding job on the miter saw station thanks for the great series and build and your camera man did a great job too
Thank you so much! The camera man position is filled by both my wife and 12 year old daughter, (the photobomber). hahaha, they will appreciate the compliment. I'll let them know, thanks again for watching.
very nice job it got me thinking of my miter station
Thank you!
awesome project. watched all the four parts. thank you for sharing your amazing work.
fab job James, from start to finish loved watching you work and picked up some great ideas thank you.

Good job!!! Greetings from Poland!
Hello Adrian! Very nice to chat with you. Poland! That is great! Thank you!
Such a great build!
This is the best build series I’ve seen on RUclips. Excellent work, and video. I learned so much. Thank you!
I watched all 4 episodes and really enjoy watching you assemble those cabinets Thank you for sharing.
thanks for watching!
I love this so much! So building a version of this.
From Italy: BRAVO !!
I watched the whole build I like it and I like how your family gets involved
Watched all four parts , what a cool build. gave me some great tips and ideas
Hi Carl! Thank you!
Really enjoyed the watch!
Thank you!
thank you, a station to aspire to. it looks beautiful.
Thank you!
Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Great build series, that workstation is beautiful---your daughter is going to be a master by age 16---
Thank you very much! She is learning remarkably fast.
Amazing work, and extremely detailed videos as always. Your videos are very helpful for those of us who are just starting out and advanced enough for everyone to appreciate.
Nicely Done Great Job
Very cool build, like the details, just subbed!
Hi Jake! Thank you!
nice workstation. only changes i would make are adjustable shelves in the upper cabinets and when screwing the end panels on, use finish washers to high-lite the screws.
loved it. looks amazing!
Hi Mario! Thank you!
Amazing work
Really enjoyed this four part series. cabinets have always seemed daunting to me, but this helped tremendously.
Hi Ed! Thank you! I hope that helped! I might have a kitchen job coming up shortly, if I do, I'll film a step by step tutorial of that too.
King's Fine Woodworking Just curious, but there are other joints to use other than dovetail for drawers that are strong as well right? Was just thinking I could make a finger joint jig easier than I could buy a dovetail jig.
Hi. You bet. Finger joints today with modern adhesives are every bit as strong as dovetails.
If for any reason you don't have a finger jig yet, my video on 12" Deep Reach C-Clamps, shows an extremely easy and accurate one that only takes minutes to make.
Awesome videos! I have watched all of the build videos for this station. I am just getting into woodworking and I really like the way you explain things throughout the videos vs. just making us watch you build it. Very informative for someone like me who is still learning. Thanks!
Hi Andrew! Thank you!
you sir have an amazing soothing voice :) amazing project keep it up greetings from La Belgique
That is very kind, thank you!
James, very well done video! I've been in the building trades for over 40 years, mostly welding and fabricating. I love working with all other mediums as well. I picked up a bundle of great ideas from you.
I'm a subscriber now. I will build this great piece as well. thank you friend.
Hi Brady! Thank you for the kind comments and for subscribing. I'm building a pretty cool project right now that you might like. It's a machinist's vise, but made of all exotic wood!
facebook.com/kingsfinewoodworking/posts/2118493438377237
King's Fine Woodworking teach James, I'm quite the vise lover. it is beautiful! I'm now following on FB.
Thank you for letting us see how you do this. I am about to build my own kitchen cabinets. I have learned many things from the 4 videos. I will subscribe now and am sure I will learn more. Thanks again.
I make tapered plugs on my lathe, I have a taper attachment. Works well. No screws. And you can drill them out. And plug holes with like Woods or exotics. If you do something different on the sides, PLEASE DO A VIDEO, YOU ARE VERY GOOD. AND YOUR DAUGHTERS CAMEOS ARE GREAT. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY IN HIS WILL. I'M VERY IMPRESSED. Forgot, you can dye the lacquer also. Love you guys
very impressive you are a true wood artist 👍
Thank you!
fantastic result! congratulations and thanks for sharing such a great method and ideas.
Hi Arthur! Thank you!
Watched all four today and subscribed. Nice work sir!
Awesome! Thank you very much!
Like before watch...i learn a lot from all the episodes...thanks man
Ady Unixmoment, thank you!!
Great jon nice unit.
Hi, great job. It's a beautiful space to work. I'm come from Belgium and there is a lot of more interesting videos in english like yours.
Hi, thank you for watching!
Really appreciate the level of detail you put into these videos and it came out great! You make it look easy :-). Looking forward to seeing more!
Hi Alan! Thank you very much!
Don't know if I like the C clamp handle idea, I know that I never have enough clamps --- and I know I'd be tempted to borrow one or two :) However, I do like the triangular ruler. Some fresh ideas, keep them coming.
Captain Barnes, thank you!
I felt the same way. I really like the look of everything in this build except for the c-clamp pulls. It just looks like the job is incomplete with those. The tri-ruler pulls are cool.
Hi Terry! Definitely a mix of feelings on those c-clamp handles. Thank you for watching and commenting!
BEAUTIFUL BUILD! Love the creativity in the handles and pulls. subbed
Hi Blake! Thank you very much!
Grate station Excellent family job SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO
Hello, and thanks for the great video series. I just watched from the first installment to the last in one 2 hour sitting and it was worth every minute. I am closing on a new house in about a week or two and I have close to 1000 sq ft of garage space to fill with awesome goodness. I think this will be a great starter project from which all the others will grow from. Great ideas man! keep em' coming :) Oh, and it is cool to see you working with your kids.
Hi. Thank you very much for watching and for the kind comment. Congratulations on your new home. And 1000 sq/ft for shop space is going to be awesome. I only had room for a 600 sq/ft shop in my backyard. And it is definitely a great idea to start with the miter station and then everything after that will be so much easier.
Thanks ~ James
You have given wonderful tutelage. I have wanted to build my own kitchen, but wanted to use timber. I think that I may go the plywood route. (I forgot that I was on my husbands page. )
Very nice work I liked the magnificence and beautiful design
Ha sh, thank you!
Really nice!
Loved your Miter station, its going to be my next Miter station.
Thank you!
King's Fine Woodworking Morning KFW, I sent you an email via your web site, no response of yet. Did you receive it? Questions were in ref to this miter station plan I bought off your web site.
Hi Brian, I just found it and replied. If for any reason you don’t get the reply, comment back here. Thank you, ~James
King's Fine Woodworking No worries James, ppl are busy and it was xmas time frame when I spent the question. I sat down and did all the math and came with with the plywood count too, then found out about Sketch up, I'm going to have to learn a new program again. Merry xmas and you and your family have a great New Year. Brian
Thank you & Happy Holidays to you and your family as well.
Beautiful
I just watched the 4 part series. Great videos, thank you. Love that the family helps out in the shop ! Happy Thanksgiving.
Great series, and channel.
Thank you!
Watched all 4 episodes! Thanks for sharing. I have a miter station build coming up too. It won't be this grand, but I'm gonna use a couple things from your build. 👍
Hi, Have fun on your build, and thanks for watching!
Nice work
Great stuff dude...
I’m living with almond/ faux wood trim laminated kitchen cabinets from ‘91 ... debating on hiring someone to just replace the doors since shell is solid wood. Looking at your shop cabinets and thinking they look better than my kitchen, lol ... loved your 4 part series
Thank you. You are very kind.
Amazing work. I love the mixture of wood species. It's a really great composition of colors and textures.
Btw, if those C-clamp slide loose, drilling a drop on the top of those blocks with a Forstner bit will give the pipe bolt a little something to hold onto. At least they won't just pop off when they loosen.
I really like the design! It’s beautiful! I was thinking- whenever I make anything large in the shop I glue it, I guess I trust glue a bit more than pocket screws but it made a huge cost difference now you were able to reuse your old material. I’ve been waiting to build something like this in my shop. Similar to your previous situation, I have a good setup now but would like something a bit more Sophisticated like what you’ve done. Great work, man! I’m also glad your kids get in the shop. I have a 4 and 1 year old and they go out there and help all the time... no tools, just helping clean lol. They’re closer to the ground 😂😂
Thank you!
