I like this for many reasons. Organization, multiple uses in the same space, plans available if I want to make my own. Most importantly though... one step closer to not being able to fit the car in the workshop. Great job.
Haha. It actually made MORE room for my car. I hate that you’re right... my days are numbered with having the ability to park in there.
Yes! Soon, the cars live outside!
LOL... before my garage was a workshop it used to be my music studio... we havn't been able to park in there for at least 8 years... LOL
When I first saw the click bait photo I thought you repurposed a computer desk into a wood working set up!!!
Nice job!
Good job. Listening to you talk makes me think of..."this one time...at band camp". Hopefully someone gets this reference.
Brent Bennight thinking the same thing
I'm in the midst of trying to design my own miter saw station, that is basically THE thing I need to get right in order to make my small shop more efficient. This has given me some great ideas. Thanks!!
Sweet! I’d love to see what you come up with. Come find me over on instagram
I'm currently designing my miter station. I hadn't even considered adding my router table, now it's back to the drawing board. Thank you for that great idea.
It's funny how little cues let someone know that you're Canadian. Cheers from BC!
Hey, from Albert. Haha. From BC originally. Thanks for checking out my channel.
"...because of the support of Rockler that I was finally able to make this happen."
translation: free stuff.
I really love the table and the ideas. I really enjoy your videos and the ways you explain things.
Now I have to solve this with things I have to actually buy.
I just wanted to say, Thankyou and I bought a set of plans for myself to build this.
That’s awesome! I’d love to see pictures as it come together. Come find me on Instagram
Are you kidding, I think I can comfortably say garage builds/organization and dust collection are some of the most popular builds CZcams offers and I feel strongly your video is one of the best I’ve seen so pls keep the garage builds/outdoor builds coming lol thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Considering the content out there, I am beyond humbled by your comment. That’s and I’ve got lots more to come.
My drill press isn't on a flip top and has drawers underneath. The option I took was to set it up so I can use the drill press bed to support extra long lumber. I adjust the height so it is level with the miter saw bed. Great work.
“Keep child labour alive!” 🤣😈 Mine started out that way, wanting to help... now, hes 30 and got sooooo many things he ‘wants’ to do (hiking, fishing, camping, soccer, softball) and I’m retired so I find I’m helping HIM do his projects now or closing ‘shop’ and we both go out salmon fishing 🤔🥴🤪 Enjoy your time with your son, it’ll be memories that you’ll both be able to look back on fondly. Nice build, it includes everything that I’ve been trying to ‘MacGyver’ into my single car garage shop in one unit! Keep up the builds and I’m now a (fellow Canadian) subscriber!
Haha. Funny how things shift. My kids like getting out to the garage and messing around and making sawdust. Hopefully that continues
Love all the ideas here, but I'd really like to see more of the finished product and, you know, just demonstrating using each tool on it. It felt a little rushed. I think this could easily be a longer video. Thanks for sharing. I think the only thing I might add is raising the height of the table to accommodate a jointer under one side of the miter saw. I saw another video with that idea and it seemed like a great way to store it out of the way.
I made it about halfway through before muting it; everything being a question did my head in. I love the design!
That's what was getting to me. I didn't figure it out until I read your comment. I also love the design.
Nice work Kris! I love that you nested the cabinets over the edge of the floor/wall so that you can maximize the floor space. You had a lot of great tips in here as well when dealing with pocket-holes and cabinet builds. Keep at it and keep sharing!
Thanks, Casey! It was a long time planning which I feel paid off.
Dang, now that is an effective use of space! Great job, man! I’m sure it feels good to have it done and be able to use it.
Thanks, Shaun. I’m super pumped to have it. So much room still for activities
Great Job. It looks like you pulled bits and pieces from great woodworkers. Love the flip top.
Yeah, there are some amazing designs out there that 100% influenced this build
Always is a bit comical watching non cabinet makers make cabinets. There are a lot of little secrets that make many of the operations easier. Hats off to you for a job well done!! cool project with loads of innovation!!
You are correct, but not bad for a Mortgage Broker/ hobby Woodworker haha. Thanks for the support.
@@furthernorthfab You did great, now ask me about mortgages lmao, (I know NOTHING) ha ha ha keep having fun with it, :)
This is by far my favorite version of a miter saw station..... and I've watched 1 or 30. Great job
I just purchased your plans. Again....Amazing
Sweet! Thanks for the support. I’m on Instagram if you have any questions
Now that's miter saw station on steroids!!! Awesome build, Kris! So many great tips and I had never heard the leveling feet idea...such a great idea!
Thanks, Ethan! I put a lot of thought into filing the space just right.
Clearly! It paid off!
Thanks for sharing, I got some great ideas👍🏼
My miter saw is currently in the corner crying with envy. Great job on the build and the video Kris!
Haha. Only you can fix that, Nick.
Great video keep it up! I do need to upgrade my miter saw station and will certainly use some of your great points and ideas. Thank you so much for creating this video. Have a terrific day!
Thanks! Would love to see what you come up woth
Good video. Every time you narrated, I had to turn up my volume. When the music came on, I had to turn it back down. Ahhhh ;-)
I have to agree. The video looks good and possibly informative, however, I just couldn't get through it for the constant changing of the volume levels. What you have to say is much more important than blasting us with music or the sounds of tools like some people do.
Nice to see more woodworking channels 🙌🏾
Thanks, Cris.
Mortgage & Mitre no problem, you just gained a new subscriber 😁
Thanks dude. Much love.
Ow this is officially one I can get behind. I’ve always liked the idea of a miter station, but in my shared family storage/ garage shop the take up too much valuable real estate. I love the combo of the flip top and router table.
Thanks, Bryce. With my assembly table folded down, I can still part one vehicle in the garage. Space is a luxury
you are quite the name-dropper Jay bates Jimmy Diresta Brad fixthisbuildthat all I can say is be yourself you did good on the build
Great station & video. You did a fantastic job of explaining & showing us a way to maximize space.
One suggestion for future videos, try to get music/voice volumes closer. I had to turn up volume to hear you & turn it down in between (on headphones).
Didn't stop me from enjoying & subscribing 😁
And thank you for sharing this
Thanks. Learning as I go. More videos to cone
Polycrylic semi gloss is what I did with mine. By the time you get finished with the first coat you can go back to where you started and lightly sand with 400 grit and apply a second coat. I did three coats in one evening and it turned out great. Nice work also my man. Agree with the track saw comment also.
Thanks, Jeff. That’s a great call.
Came see your secret door. Now that you know how to design them. Lol
Thanks for coming!
This is a great use of space! Great planning and execution. I would consider a small round over or at least breaking the front edges of your work surface. I've had a 1" Baltic birch worktable for a couple years and the edge gets banged up and splinters. Hope that helps
Thanks, John. I did break the end, but didn’t mention it in the video. Just got. 1/16 inch round over, so I’ll probably run that over the edge as well
Nice job man, love how multifunctional it is. The addition of the router table is such a good idea!
I've been following your miter saw station build as well. Great job.
Mate this is awesome. I will certainly be pinching a few ideas for my mitre bench. Cheers, from Australia.
Thanks for the support, Curt!
Cool build, Kris! I really like how you integrated so many things into this one space. Really great use of a limited space.
Thanks. I can still park a car in my garage. Need to be as efficient with the space as I can.
Great job, for a self confessed inexperienced youtuber you came across very well. Informative and entertaining, thanks for sharing. From a personal view point I would't put the tool containers/Systainers as storage within your cabinets, rather I would store the containers elsewhere when not in use and store just the tools, adding extra room to store even more gear. - Subbed and liked, 5 ⭐'s
Nice build
This was dope. Great use of space and gave me a ton of ideas for my smaller garage shop (1.5 car).
Awesome!!! Would love to see what you do with your garage!
great projects. one of the best mitre saw station on the tube!!!
Thanks! There are a lot of great ones on here, so I super appreciate the complement
Flipping out on this one...great job brother! I have serious miter(mitre) station envy.
Thanks you. I had to force my autocorrect to do the US spelling. It was a flipping fun build b
Your puns are getting up there with Shaun Boyd. ;)
Great work. Enjoyed the video and the project. I always use water based poly in my shop. Mostly because thats what I have on hand and it dries quick so I can usually get a couple of coats on in a few hours.
Good call, Scott!
Incredible use of space. we really like your build! It may have taken you 3 years but consider it well worth the wait!
Thanks. Totally agree
The perimeter of your garage is usually a footing, not a retaining wall.
Some really good info. I'm bookmarking it. One suggestion - Please don't turn up the music volume in between you talking. I was listening on headphones and it got very loud. Good stuff!
Clean and well organized! I have been looking for a while for a mitre build i like. I think i can stop looking! Good luck on your CZcams ventures!
Thanks, Sean! Having this miter saw station makes me want to keep my shop clean and organized even.
I love seeing the different styles of miter saw stations. I am moving hopefully by the end of next month, so I think it's time to start designing my own. I'm currently thinking of an angle iron frame with DIY style drawer slides. But I loved all the small details you added to yours like the flip top and extended t-track.
Awesome build! Definitely going to be building myself something very similar to this. Keep up the great work
Thanks, Nathan. Can’t wait to see what you come up with
Great vid! Some fantastic tips. You covered a lot in a short space of time 👍
Killer video buddy, even better build!
Thanks, dude. I appreciate that
Amazing build.. Also, I love the fact that you used other people's ideas, and completely gave them the credit for it. That's so awesome... Safe to say, new subscriber here...
And for the finish, come up with a good paint scheme for yourself (like black and gold, or white and red). And paint all your projects like that. I find it pretty awesome when I see a nice theme in a shop. That's just an opinion, but Something you may like to do in the future.
That’s a good idea. A consistent pop of colour. Still haven’t added finish yet, but it’s warming up so I’ll be doing something soon
@@furthernorthfab Just do whatever color you like, and go for it man. You'll be ok. Plus, you can always go to another color if you aren't in love with it. But, when you get your color, and your whole shop is coordinated colors, it'll look awesome. Stain is ok, but I personally think color looks much cooler...
First time seeing your channel, good job on the build and the video.
Thanks for commenting. Glad you like it.
Killer build dude. Lots of thought went into it and it certainly shows!
Thanks, Taylor. I lost count at how many versions I drew of this in Sketchup, but each time I figured out how to cram more in it
I totally understand why you use end screen cards but of course I can't actually see your end product and I thought this was a good set of ideas. I am building my own at the moment and am now thinking how I incorporate a router into it. So at least thank you for that
FYI, you mentioned you loved “Fix This Build That’s” flip top table/cabinet... another amazing builder like you and Brad actually built and filmed his Flop Top plans for herself, she goes by DIY Montreal here on CZcams. I’m very visual so seeing plans on paper doesn’t mean much however her build with his exact plans is amazing, she also has several detailed videos of her router table she built and also details how to install the Rockler Router Lift: DIY Montreal
Yeah, Marie does great work. I’ve met her in 2018 at Workbench Con.
Great miter saw station!
Thanks, Evan. Glad you liked it.
Liked and subscribed @ 1:12 into this video, based solely on your t-shirt.
Oh, and the piece turned out great!
Haha. That shirt has helped me get a few subscribers 😜
Looks more like a bookshelf for the office.
Well, it’s my sawdust office, so I’ll take that.
Great build and you will got yourself a new sub.
Thanks! I’ll do my best not to disappoint 👍
Nice work! Must feel great to get that workflow more dialed in.
You’re speaking my language. Workflow is key.
Nice work! Not really sure the purpose of flip top drill press? I didn't see any other tool being installed on the empty side! The problem with being right next to wall is that you may not be able to fit any other tool on the other side because it may not clear the wall while rotating...
Well done and the video as well.
Good job on the video editing and the video itself pretty good job thanks for sharing stay safe 3C woodworking
Great video, put together well and gave me lots of ideas for my workshop. Thanks. And I subscribed.
Love this build Kris! Also, great tip on the wider material on the mitre saw.
Thanks, Shaun. It’s totally safe on thin material.
Nice build video definitely enjoyed the content but for the love of God please edit your music at a lower volume please. I'm hoping my ears will recover lol
Good Day
The Bosch GCM12GDL are you happy with it
And what is the space you allowed for it to stand in
I will build something similar but only buy next year
But would like to start building my mitre station so long
Thanks for video
Very nice
Great idea I like your setup good job
Thanks, Hector
6:25 HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!! GET YOUR FINGERS OUT OF THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Very nice build.
It’s just the angle, trust me. I have a healthy fear and respect for that router
Regardless, thanks for watching 👍
Pro tip a bench vice and the quick kreg pocket hole jig do the same as that jig.
Good one!
Really nice work - With your permission I may use some of your ideas as inspiration
Sure. I actually have plans on my website
@@furthernorthfab Thanks, I will take a look.
Just came across your channel - Impressive build!
Thanks, Bryan. Still pretty new here
Great job I like flip top for drill press & router section
Thanks, Simon! It’s super helpful hiding things like this away in my small garage shop
Really nice! I must say, seeing a router/miter saw station combo us a first for me. I love it tho! Have fun with them :). I'm sure your hard work is going to pay off
Thanks, Janie. It’s just made so much sense with the fence setup.
I treat with linseed oil, boiled for darker look and raw for more natural look.
Great work, Followed you here from Reddit. Thanks for the plans...
No worries! PLEASE email me if you have any questions
Great build! And great editing and voice-over as well, your channel deserves way more attention. Keep up the good work!
Thanks, Ari.
Sweet build.... But, what was the name of the tool company again ? 🤣🤣
This is a job well done!! May you have a Happy & Prosperous New Year.
great video. This might be on my short list to make for the new shop!!
Nice! Keep me posted
Just found your channel on instagram of all places... great setup you got there and great video... Sub'd... congrats on landing a Rockler sponsorship, I'm at almost 6K subs, but no such luck yet... LOL
Keep up the good work
Thanks, dude! I’ll have to go take a peak at your channel
Great build! Subbed
Thanks, Marcus
This is great staff, very nice ideas but I have a question:what happens when you want to use the router table more "deeply"?for example when you have to put the router fence 5 or 10 inches at the back,then how to you slide your pieces?
Thanks, yeah checkout my latest video for my sons bed. When I have to make deeper routing passes, I remove the fence and open up a way larger area to work with
Nice video man great work 👍👌
Thanks, Aidan.
That’s sick
Thanks, Ethan! It was an unreal addition to my shop.
damn man this is sick has a little of everything. great work
Thanks, Mike. It’s such an awesome use of space in my garage
Сколько инструментов!
Awesome Build dude! I bought your plan and looking forward to it! One question I have is can you BEVEL your mitre saw?
Thanks, Joe! On my saw I can, but I never use that function on my miter saw. Can’t wait to see your build! If you post pictures of your build on social media, please tag me in them so I can see your progress!
Awesome project thanks for sharing. I'm a new subscriber and I really like your design and may be using some of it for my new shop.
Awesome! Would love to see what you come up with, Frank. I’m over on Instagram as well. 👍
What are the rough overall dimensions of this? I don’t want to buy the plans if its too big of a footprint.... (total length & depth)
Great video and I love the layout. That is definitely making the most of space. And really like the idea of being able to share a fence between mitre saw and router if you have long pieces. Only one question...will you come build me one?
Haha. Thanks, Harry! Let me finish the 100 other projects I want to do in my shop first. 😜
@@furthernorthfab Okay great. That's 100 projects, then mine. Should I schedule you in for early January?
Nice work! I like the router table integration. I just posted my miter saw station build on my channel and I finished it with a pre-cat water based lacquer. It's a General Finishes product and has no odor like regular solvent nitro lacquer and sprays/finishes beautifully, highly recommend it. Thanks for sharing.
Nice! I’ll have to go take a look.
I freaking love it! Inspired to set something up at the new house.
Do it! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
great job!
Thanks, Philip.
That looks great we'll done, just one question, do you find having the router built into to miter saw station limiting? I imagine it's great for edge routing but I guess you can't to things like dados in the middle of large panels?
peter green it’s for sure a trade off with some jobs, but I still see the benefits outweighing the fallback. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video. What type of plywood did you use? Baltic Birch?
Thanks, Mark. I used imported birch. It’s really inexpensive where I am
How many feet of table top to the left and right of your saw?
So just under 8 feet on the left and 3 feet on the right.
What is the yellow wrist band about🤔
Edad Martin live strong? Haha. No, I think I took my kids swimming that day.
Great build. I think I want to copy your design and get your plans, but first what is the overall length of your station?
So it’s 10 feet 7 inches long and about 5 feet tall
@@furthernorthfab Great thank you. I'll determine this weekend if I have that length, of course if not I can change the dimensions to fit.
Did you put a finish on the top of the miter saw table at all? I'm working on mine now also! Good job!
Meant to this summer but never got around to it.
Thanks!
No walk through? Nice work!
I was thinking about doing a follow up video. Would you want to see that?
Mortgage & Mitre I would. I have a small shop that I am building in a 1 car garage. I like the multi function of the unit.
Great vid looks good
