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.
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.

King's Fine Woodworking how many sheets of plywood did it take you? And how much did u spend on it if u dont mind me asking and how long was it and wide
What router bits do we use specifically for 8:1 and 6:1 dovetails to use with that Portor Cable jig?
That was one of the best instructions I've ever seen for using the Porter Cable Dovetail Jig. Great video's. thanks for posting.
Thank you Jerry! And thanks for watching.
I agree. Almost purchased the dovetail machine but seemed overwhelming on adjustments and fiddling with the bits and etc. Great instructions!!! And you even showed what do after a not so perfect cut to adjust fit
Just started watching your videos!!! Excellent quality and content. Your daughter is the real deal! You must be super proud!
This is hands down the best dovetail jig tutorial on RUclips! Thanks for sharing. I've watched a lot and this by far has been the most helpful
First time viewer/now subscriber....
I’ve been a woodworker/carpenter for 25+ years and I have to say I appreciate your patience,clarity, and explanations on every step especially the dovetail jig setup! Thanks and 👍🏻
I want to thank you so much for a very well done and informative video. I especially appreciated the "recovery" you showed to correct a minor mistake on the draw width, as we all know we do make them, even a professional such as yourself.
Thanks for posting this dove tail jig use and demonstration. One tip that is mentioned in the instructions is to put a sacrificial board at the end of the last tail on top to help prevent tear out on the last pin.
I've found cutting a fine scoring line along the base of the tails helps reduce tearout. Takes a bit more work, but on critical areas it's worth it. Great job on the drawers!
I really like the narrative and the fact that your daughter stuck around for part two!
Thanks Bob!
I'd never seens anybody actually usong this jig. You sold me. Thanks!
I never comment on videos but got to say this is one of the best videos I've seen on how to use a dovetail jig. Thank you for taking the time to explane it.
Thank you!
I like that when you messed up on that draw, instead of hiding it and pretending to be perfect you show a brilliant tip to fix it shiming it up
Thank U for not putting annoying music in the background.good build
I like your channel, Love the family working together. Especially the "video bomber". I always liked it when my daughter would help.Need to get her back involved. Keep it up Dad.
Hi Charles! Thank you!
What a great series, your work is impeccable! Thanks for sharing
Can't wait for part 3!
Haha, thanks James! I'm editing it right now. :-)
Just adding to all the thank yous! Really appreciate your time and effort to put out these videos. Love that your family is involved as well. Thank you!
Hi Doc! Thank you very much for the kind comments. I actually have 5 daughters, and they all love Woodworking. My youngest, who is 12, might like it the most though.
I appreciate how u went in depth explaining the dovetail joints!
I really appreciate your attention to precision. That is what I lack in woodworking.
Thanks James for the videos I’m enjoying them immensely, great workmanship. Respect 👊🏻
Great to see that you are a family man too
I know its a year old, but a friend and I just watch this. The build is great, but we had a good chuckle with the "Ahh Fudge" moment when you realized the issue with the saw pivot and the 2 drawers you had to hack on the fly. We surmised that the missing video coincided with you chuck'n that thor mallet across the shop from the frustration of removing and reworking those draw slides...sorry for the laugh at your expense...for me its just reminds of times of my own "Ahh Fudge" moments.

Best explanation of the Porter Cable dovetail set up that I have seen.
Thanks
The U shape bit on the runner you attach to the cabinet is designed to allow the runner to pull in, so if you use those holes you won’t need to use shims for the drawers
Fantastic build, an amazing mitre station
Love how you get your girls involved in your workshop. I can't wait for my 2 year old to grow older so I can have daddy daughter time in my workshop.
It is the best part of woodworking!
The constant notes are a really good tip, especially for larger volume production jobs, I know that I have gone on a run to make 10 of something and messed up #8 because I reversed a piece. Good Tip!
Hi Chris! Thanks for watching!
You must be a shop class teacher. Great instruction on all you are,a master craftman.
I like to look at you and your family for your carpentry work. A tip among friends ... From the table of your circular saw I would make a pneumatic sliding table. Your blanks are hovering. Apart from that, everything is tip top, great class. Greetings from Germany from Andreas.
Hello Andreas! Thank you for the tip!
Watched a few of your videos I have 3 daughters myself and they enjoy watching you and your girls building projects together ...new sub..... I also enjoy the fact your channel is clean kid friendly ...you sir are a very talented man with a nice family best wishes to you
Hi Justin. That is very kind. Thank you so much. If you can message me your address, I'd like to send you all some stickers.
james@kingsfinewoodworking.com
awesome ....will do thanks
King's Fine Woodworking sent it .....thanks again
I always enjoy this man's builds as they are explained so explicitly.
That's very kind!
I have the same Porter Cable Dovetail Jig...still in the box for some 5 years. I believe I can tackle this "aide" to fine woodworking having watched your video. You are a talented instructor. thank you!! Five Stars!
Hi Michael, thank you very much!
Nice video. Great to see your family.
Hi Pat. Thank you very much!
loved the trick about the drawer being too narrow and adding shims to fix that ! Happened to me, now i know what to do next time. Great channel, keep on going, bravo !
Thank you!
Nice work - very instructional. regards Mike
Thanks Mike!
It’s gorgeous, and what a big project! But no doubt incredibly rewarding. Now, you’re forced to spruce up that back wall!
Thanks ,i found that my local woodwork tool store actually had some in stock which is a miracle for australia
Awesome
Master craftsman.
Very thorough walk through the Dow tail jig, it is easy to screw up there and make a fawlty cut, I know from experience, ha ha! I will use some of Your ideas when I shall make the interior of my shop, nice saw by the way.
bergatube60, thank you!
Best video I have seen for using the porter cable jig
Hi Michael! Thank you!
excellent tips on how to use the porter-cable dovetail jig - love your attention to detail - very helpful!
Good job, James. As always. I really enjoy your videos. I see only one problem. I think you need more glue! Lol
I’m very impressed and after watching this I believe I can do this thanks man
Sir you are an absolute genius when it comes to woodworking, I’ve watched all of your videos! I build my crosscut sled off your design and my 45 jig off your design, I admire your true genius in everything you do. I didn’t look through every single comment on here and I apologize if you’ve already answered this question, my question is dollar amount what is a rough ballpark you have into this miter saw station? Thank you in advance for your answer and thank you for all the great videos please keep doing what you are doing. Best regards, Zach
Hi Zach. That is very kind. Thank you! I think it cost me about $800
I have learn so much just watching you and the teaching how to build projects thanks.
Great work man, Iam new into woodworking, last year it was more about iron, welding, etc.. but yesterday i finaly bought my first tablesaw.. I cant wait for better weather to do something too.. Take care and enjoy!
Everybody in your videos are always calm. If there was video evidence of my brother and I working with my dad it would have been like a WWE match!
Just found your channel and I love the way you do the videos and the amount of detail you have in them. Got a sub from me.
Thank you so much!
Same here. 🧡👍🏼
I bought a Leigh D4 dovetail jig almost 20 years ago now. That is an amazing jig no question and it does allow for some amazing dovetails. The problem is it is very complicated and it takes a long time to set up. It looks like that jig you’ve got is easier to use. Sometimes I really wish I could have done dovetails as quickly as you did her.
I also have the Leigh jig. I like it. But it is slower to setup.
King's Fine Woodworking that was my point. It would be nice to have a jig like the one you used for faster setup.
You sure explaine that Porter Cable Dovetail Jig very well, I enjoyed the detail
Thank you! I do have another through-dovetail tutorial, which is my latest video in case you are interested.
Great Job!! It’s great how your whole family gets involved.
Thank you!
Good job good lesson. Thank you!
Brilliant!
Thank god for RUclips. No where can you see masters like this or learn elsewhere.
Thank you!
Very nice work. Thank you for sharing
conjering, Thank you!
Its sooo much fun to watch you and your family. I can learn a lot.
Thank you!
You are a brilliant builder my friend, I enjoy your vids. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much!
Goals my man. Nice work.
Great video. I have been considering the dovetail jig for a while. I think this is the best "review" or explanation I have seen of its use. So much great content in this one video. Nice work. Thank you.
Hi Jeromy! Thank you!
Great video!
Omg it's Nice
henrik albrechtsen, thank you!
thank you so much i'm not a wood worker realy never knew how those jigs worked
You are welcome. Thank you for watching.
Great tutition, love the way you explained dovetailing, now trying to get a porter cable jig in the U.K. Really appreciate the time you have put in, please keep doing these...
Thank you very much!
Suggested improvement on dust collection: put in a curved surface behind the MS. MS puts such velocity into the particles that the flat target area gives a lot of bounce back.
Excellent video
Best I've seen how to do dovetails and setting up the jig
Well done
Thank you very much!
Отличный стол под торцовку!👍 люблю твой канал .
yeszaa....its part 2...waiting for part 3....
Ady Unixmoment, thanks for watching. I'm still editing part 3, hopefully I'll finish tonight!
i dont know how old these vids are but i am really enjoying each one
good job!!!
Thank you very much!
very good and easy explanation of use and adjustment of the jig. alexis of France
Very good channel. Love the way you show all the steps and talk through them. Great to see your family involved. Teach them all great skills. They'll use them forever. Subbed.
Hi Tim. Thank you!
My OCD is loving how you built that miter saw station
Haha. Thank you!
You do good work, love the video's....
Just discovered your channel! Absolutely love your explanations and style of teaching! Thank you so much for the effort you put in! Come to expect photo bomber! Finally understand the jig and how to dial it in! :)
Just found your channel and subscribed very impressive so hello from Manchester uk
Hi Chris! Wow, from Manchester, awesome! Thank you for the compliment and for subscribing!
Super cool
Thank you!
Love that jig! You just made me a believer!
Why didn't you cut the dados first?
Cool vids man like your video style and that your family is a big part of your work
keep it up
Hey, thank you very much!
Subscribed, just to see part 3 of this badass mo fo!
Haha, thank you!
I really enjoyed this build thanks for sharing. The best part is certainly seeing your family involved. the lighting is excellent as well as the video quality. The miter station is among the best I've seen. Do you think maybe the router bit speed (too fast) may have caused some of the tear out you experienced? Finally the dovetail portion was thorough enough to be a tutorial by itself! Thanks again!
Hi, thank you. The router speed is possibly an issue. I have tried changing the speed in the past from very high to very low, and it seemed I always got tear-out on plywood. I think I just came to accept that it was going to happen. And the only solution was to go slow and hope. But now that I think about it, i'm not sure I tried varying the speed on Baltic birch plywood. I'll have to give that a try. Thank you for watching. ~ James
Thx for video very informative just subscribed. I also have the same saw and a Leigh super jig haven't used yet so this would be a great project. Good to see the family involved. I'm from down under btw.
Hi Philip! Thank you! Down Under, - that's awesome!! You'll have some fun building it. I'm thinking about buying that Leigh Dovetail Jig. And, thanks for subscribing!
Another place you might want to try for Cabinet/Wood working supplies is
HDL
They are located in Sauk Center Minnesota. I get nearly all of my supplies from them. They also have Free Shipping days which is nice when you order a couple of cases of 1 gal. bottles of Titebond Glue.
Thank you!
DOVETAILED DRAWERS ON A MITER SAW STATION !?!?!? You are the man. Loved the video, it is as good as I've see on doing blind dovetails. Gotta go, I'm going to do a miter saw station that will hold my Paulk miter table. You are doing excellent work and making excellent videos.
Hi Ron. Thank you!
very nice, good video
Thank you very much!
Thanks.
Hi Barbara. Thank you for watching!
If you can do that with plywood, then using something nice like oak or maple, wow! I hit the subscribe button today. Now I know how to dovetail, think I will try it too.
Thank you!
Nice. Looks like Jay Bates station.
Thanks, but it’s not like Jay’s at all. His is the first quality Miter Station on RUclips. Mine is a poor attempt to get a functioning workstation, and one of my early attempts at making a video. My build & video quality are mediocre at best.
Not sure if you mentioned it elsewhere, but how many sheets of ply did it take to build your project? I've been thinking of building pretty much the same layout.
Hi Bruce, it took me about 12 sheets total. Eight sheets of three-quarter inch thick plywood and four sheets of half-inch thick plywood and once the project was done, I had about a half a sheet of each left over.
Dave the time from setting the jig up by cutting a few spacers start the board out. Measure the dvt divide it by two cut two pieces then cut one I. Half. Zero setup in the future
I'm gonna build one too.
Clicks on part 2..... hits like before video even starts!
Thank you!!
I am working on building this now during the quarantine. I forget the measurements to use the little jigs for the drawer slides. I have the cabinet bases assembled, just adding drawer slides now. The torsion box is a bit intimidating, but I'll have a go at it next.
That guy is awsome
Thank you!
I have this dovetail jig and I have never used it. For some reason it kind of scared me and I'm not sure why. Your explination made it seem much easier and I made a couple drawers today with it. Thanks!
Thank You! I'm glad to hear it!
Thank you for your project, I needed an equal.
Viana Carvalho, :-)
It’s probably staring at me, but I’m not able to find a link to your “90 degree drill/chuck adapter” (aka., that darned thingamajig!!!) Lol. Any help is greatly appreciated James.
God Bless You & Yours!!!!!!
I'm not a big fan of Dovetails on Plywood. A Denser Plywood like Baltic Birch you can get by with more often. But any sort of "Normal" plywood just tears too easily. You can use Tape to try and stop it but if it tears a layer it will rip past the tape.
Plus, Plywood is so expensive. I built the Drawers and Cabinets in my shop out of White Cedar. I get it very inexpensively up North a few hours from where I live by the 16' Trailer full. It is rough cut in ONE bys and TWO bys, but I don't mind spending a little extra time to plane them to spend a ton of money over plywood.
Lol, I just got to the point in the video where you talked about what I just wrote.
Do you make your drawers exactly 1" narrower than the opening when using these drawer slides, or slightly smaller than that?
Hi Mike, best is to make them exact. The drawer slides will flex both in and out just a little bit. So you can probably do up to 1/16" wider or narrower. But I just try to shoot for exactly 1" under.
Thanks! I love your miter station, I hope to start a similar one soon.
That's awesome Mike, you will certainly have fun!
MKe your drawer 1 1/16" smaller than your opening. NOT 1"...1/32" slop on both sides will make the drawer slide smooth
dyjruuu, I do think that recommendation of going 1/16" under will work well for these.
But anyone else reading should take caution. While 1/16" is fine, more isn't necessarily better. I have noticed if you get more than an 1/8" under, then the drawers will not open & close. At least with these drawer slides.
You are an excellent instructor. Very well done vids. These joints are so tight, where does the glue go?
Subscribed.
Great videos, however you did not show the part where you cut out and install the miter saw.
After about a year of using the PC jib I finally figured out how to avoid the little hole that you have at 25:51. Do you know how, if so I will save my breath, otherwise I can help.
Hi! I'm always interested to learn something new if you have the time. Thank you!
