- How to build a miter saw station for a small shop. This miter saw table is great for adding shop storage and saving space. I made this miter station only six feet long by 24 inches deep. I included a collapsable extension wing when working with longer stock.

21:33 Before and After Miter Station - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I watched this specifically because I searched for a small shop solution. My shop is 15' x 15'. Coolest feature: the drop-leaf extension wing.
Most expensive edge guide I’ve seen in a while!!😳 Purple Heart 😂😂
Organized and thing of beauty!
There are a lot of great pointers in there, Matt. Thanks as always for pointing out where we can all do better.
My pastor just gave me his old miter saw: an old Ridgid he used at the youth camp for years. I'm looking to build a miter saw station for my small garage shop now. Thanks for the tips!!
Love the wing.
Nice and compact with plenty of storage. I love that! Especially since I don't have a lot of room at the moment.
You can always get some plugs to hide your pocket holes if it bothers you that much. No one else would probably notice them, because the entire set up looks so nice.
Matt, thank you for sharing this idea. My shop is even smaller than yours and uses about 3/5 of a one car garage. My miter saw is currently on what I believe is a cabinet that used to be in the kitchen next to the stove. I added the extension wing onto my miter saw station and because I don’t have any sort of in feed table, I actually added a drawer slider so that I can extend it even further, and it gives me an extra 24 inches. Because of the drawer slider it wound up being a little beefier than your build but I love it. Thanks again. You just helped make my shop safer.
Liked the euro hinges for the doors. Also watched the video specifically for the extension.
I love the idea for the flip down extension table
I have the 36V cordless version of the same Makita saw. Absolutely love it! I love the extended miter angle capability.
That cabinet is really nice. I am going to build one for my new Ridgid R4222.
I use a Bosch miter glide 12”. Love it
Great video. I decided on the Metabo HPT C12RSH2M for my shop. Absolutely a fantastic saw.
For the exposed pocket holes, maybe make walnut dowels and plug them with that. “Make a mistake a feature”
Ahh. Great idea!
Not only are you an excellent teacher and wood works ng specialist, I love your witness you silently portray in your clothing! That's an amazing part of your videos , together with all your skills. God Bless!
Impressive!
I was able to pick up the festool kapex for $300 a local cabinet maker, had passed away his wife had to move! She just wanted it to go to good use!
The walnut on the outside edges makes this look so good!!
Thank you
Great power tip!!!
Very nice build. Keep bringing these great build and woodworking educational videos.
👍
Great video love the format thanks!
This is awesome! I need to make this rather than deal with my metal stand. Thank you as always brother!
Bosch glide saw - 12"
Nice job on the cabinet.
looks great!
Thanks so much for the great shoutout. Love the way the sign looks up there. We are honored to have a spot on your wall!!!!
Thank you for the awesome sign! I love it!
Looks good, brother!
Looks great! I use a Hercules 12" compound miter saw, so far so good. Drooling for the Kapex, one day! Thanks for all you do for our community!
I have a hercules to. Was 24'' in wide enough? This saw is huge.
Nice work Matt! Thank you
Thanks brother!
I have the Bosch 12 inch mitre saw which I still have to make a station for and I'm now going to look at adding the wing to the cabinets which is what I like about what you did
Man sakes alive! This build is summore purdy! Lol. Love it brother! Great job! My favorite part is that inset drawer closest to the saw. Again Brother, well done!
Thank you
Great job, looks awesome
Thank you
Amazing build! love the flip up extension wing I think that speaks to a ton of woodworkers. Like me, I’m one of them.
Thank you
The flip up side is a very good idea. Clean look!
🤛🏽🇺🇸
Thanks 👍
Awesomeness 👊
Liked you miter saw station build so much, got your plans for it. I have a 20 year + old LS1220...
I just bought the plans as I think this will fit much better than the junkie one I built a number of years ago for my 14' x 16' shed shop, I use the Worse Task Force 10" mitre saw
I have the same makita saw. Its great
I like it.
Best visual feature: featuring plywood face grain with walnut accents. Got a Craigslist Festool Kapex just completely rebuilt under warranty. I like your design but have a different set of requirements and materials on hand. I make a beeswax blend finish, too, though I recommend it only for kitchenware and intend to apply multiple coats of slightly thinned and finely sanded water based poly followed by traditional Johnson's wax to my shop furniture.
You asked about miter saws. I currently have 2. My 12" dually slider Delta is currently at our cabin in West Virginia while I'm finishing out the cabin build. In the meantime, I picked up the 10" dually slider Bauer from Harbor Freight, and the adjustability and solid construction of that saw was a pleasant surprise. I really like it so far. Had it a couple months, and I feel like it took me three tune-up sessions to get it dialed in completely. So far it's perfect enough.
The coolest feature is you doing all the work lol. I don’t think there is anything I don’t like. God Bless. As he always does.
Thanks!
Im a big fan of your builds and channel style/personality. New sub here from Australia. Lots of inspiration and great honest processes without all that typical over hyped stuff of other channels.
Keep up the great work and God bless 🤙
Awesome, thank you!
Good tip. Also by raising your saw it makes it easier to clean under it.
I enjoyed this Impressive build project.
Well done!
Thank you
Nice work Matt
Thanks!
Nice miter station is awesome I like the stop is great I think adding it to the wing would have been good too 🤙🏼
Very nice
I like how you made the extension wing
The foldable extension is simple but fits the whole build perfectly. I started pocket jointery finally and I really love it. Makes building easier.
I love that you felt bad for a tool so you used it. Lol I feel the same way sometimes 😂
I like it
Ridgid has a great hand blower that I use for dusting of the shop when needed, especially of you leave the shop vac on in the vacinity.
I wish I had your shop I'm in an 8x10 shed
Hey brother Matt, I see we both have the same Makita miter saw
I love mine, it's the best.
I really like how you did the extension wing!! Does suck when stick on tapes are not accurate, so far I've been lucky as my fast Cap has matched my fast Cap tape BUT also matched my woodpecker items!!
Nice
Strongly considering building this with your plans, just ordered the 10" Delta Cruzer and want to do something more than the mobile stand
I think the coolest thing is it has a great look. Coming in a close second is the simplicity of the foldup mechanism.
Ridgid 10” sliding miter, love the saw but wish the dust collection was better, it gets everywhere even when the vacuum is attached
Very nice, I made a cart with folding wings for my mitre saw. It makes a big difference to my tiny workshop.
Kerg makes great plugs for the accidently exposed pocket holes. 😀
All I do when looking at your workshop is drool!!!!! Awesome mitre station!!!!👊
Thanks 👍
I have the Crappy Tire 🇨🇦 specialty MasterCraft! Works great 🇨🇦😜🇨🇦
Just bought my first saw today, 12 inch Ridgid compound miter, $90 on Marketplace 👍
Nice 👍
They do make a biscuits that fits inside of the pocket holes A little sanding to make them flush.
I'm about to build a workbench, but I am like a lot of people and I'm working in a very small space. My workbench has to stored against the wall of the garage so the car can be parked inside. In order to maximize the top surface area of the workbench when it's away from the wall and in use, I want to add an extension. I like the way you did yours because there are no legs to trip on, but I am concerned that my extension may not remain level if any weight above 40 or 50 pounds is place on it. I will likely sit on a stool at the extension similar to a kitchen island, so I may go with legs that fold in and I'll use leveling feet to ensure that the extension remains level with the rest of the workbench. Love the content! It gives me lots of ideas!
12 inch rigid and basically all my tools are rigid from drills to my 13 inch planer except for my 14 inch bandsaw. I have just built a 12x12x12 work shop and am looking for different ways to organize it however I might leave my table saw in the garage to save on space. As always thanks for the videos eph 2:8
You know you've arrived when you can use a piece of Purple Heart as a straight edge! Great build, Matt! Love the unnecessary walnut!
lol it was the shortest straight board I had that was just the right length
I was thinking the same thing. lol
Gorgeous. I love the walnut trim. It really sets that station off with that contrast. I love eye pleasing functionality.
Thanks so much!
2:09 Ouch, that face is so relatable 😬
I have an 8x9 ft shed. So I know all about small spaces. Also, I use a 10" Kobalt miter saw.
Wow, Matt, that is a fantastic build and so well designed!
Thank you
It's looking awesome Matt! Keep up the content! Inspiring me to up my miter saw workbench!
Awesome video! I’ve been looking forward to this one ever since you mentioned you were planning on making a new miter station. The wing is genius!
That’s a very neat, compact unit, Matt - nice job! I especially like the extension: it saves having roller supports or the like cluttering up the shop.
Matt, I have to admit the first time I saw this video, I wasn't in love with the mitersaw station. It's a great build it just didn't fit some of my needs, but I just watched the video again looking for ideas and seen how you did you top with the drawers. It's genius!!! It's just what I've been looking for. Thanks for the great idea. P.S. I'm trying to build it from 90% reclaimed materials, so I've named it my Frankinstation!! Lol
Awesome 👏. Share a pic when you’re done. Tag me on social media if you can.
Looking good! I like the concept here for the extension arm. I am curious though to see how often you have it extended. I feel like I’d have mine up more often than I’d have it stored away so might just add more cabinets myself. Give us an update in a few weeks because in my one car garage compact is a plus
It likely depends on your typical projects. For me I don't use long stock a lot.
Looks great! I like the small drawers on top - good use of that space 👍
I have had the same mitre saw for about 3 weeks and i do not regret buying it. Such a great tool!
Awesome
@@731Woodworks mitre station turned out awesome buddy!
Great build, Great video. I like the longer build videos. Keep up the great content.
Love to see your channel grow!
you have so much talent
and
a beautiful message
Have you ever made a king size bed? PS> with drawers underneath of it? Thank you for your videos. Praise the Lord!
My current miter saw is an old Rigid non-sliding 10" compound saw. Your miter station looks great. My favorite part of it is that there is plenty of storage since that is the one area my shop is drastically lacking in.
The coolest feature I like best, the walnut trim LOL, or the drop down extension for space saving, Looks great man, nice job
I use a admiral 12” mitre saw from HarborFreight
Wonderful build. There's actually not one thing i like more than the other. Love the entire build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a bunch!
Someday I will upgrade my miter saw, but for now I'm still using a 12" Delta shop master.
Thanks Matt, I love the build videos. I know you say they don't get a ton of views but they're my favorites. It's appreciated
Glad you like them! Thanks Rob!
Theres always things I wish I had done differently, usually realized shortly after completing the project lol. Those kind of details are the real "experience" imo. It makes you aware of potential issues the next time you build something new.
Love this build! I love how you can get the plan for this build then watch this if you have any questions. Nice! Keep it up my man!
Thank you!
You can plug the pocket holes
Nice build. Making the sides higher than the bed of the miter saw also allows you to make a zero-clearance auxiliary base/fence for the saw. Those are really useful for cutting smaller parts and reducing tearout.
12 in Bosch Sliding Miter saw is what I have in my shop. Always enjoy your videos they have been inspirational. Thanks for all the hard work.
Thank you
Great build Matt, love it all 💫
Thank you
Beauty build video! 😉 What a great looking piece of shop furniture!
Thanks for this video, Matt! I always enjoy watching you. I've been wanting to build this very thing. But I really want to thank you for the Greatest Free Gift! I watched it, I enjoyed it and I shared it. Everyone should watch it! Thanks so much! God Bless You!
Thank you
you should make a challenge coin rack or display case for challenge coins! maybe even hang in shop for viewers to send in and view in background of videos?
Great looking table. I like your idea about making your top 1/2" taller in case you change saws.
This happened to me when I went from a Craftsman to my Metabo...
Thank you for sharing those little frustrations and mistakes! It's too easy to get frustrated thinking you're the only one who drops and inch on the occasional cut. Love the content on your channel.
@731Woodworks, you need to get the Dewalt right angle attachment that has the flexible extension piece. Check it out it’s model # is DWAMRASET . They sell it at home depot & it’s a major upgrade from the one you used in this video trust me!
