      Ha! Tell me about it. This station has made a nice difference in organizing things, and I have another project in the works that consolidates more items as well.

    This is awesome. I have the same saw and was going to get rid of it because it’s so big. I’ll be making this for sure.

    Nice job. While I'm not a fan of that particular design, I'm sure it'll work out great in your shop.

    I thought about wings for my miter saw. Then I realized that if I cut some blocks of wood to the right height, I could support my boards across other work surfaces.

    • @MakeitGoode1
      @MakeitGoode1  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's a great idea, especially if you have limited space.

    I like this channel already? We have a similar sized shop (mine is taken up by other stuff) so its actually smaller. Your videos are great for small shop designs!

      Hey, thanks so much! I'm enjoying working in my space (especially since it's air-conditioned in this hot summer), and learning every day how to work "small". More videos are coming soon!

    What kind of plywood did you use? I cannot find 4x8 sheets of baltic birch in my area.

    • @MakeitGoode1
      @MakeitGoode1  21 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      I couldn't find birch plywood in my area either, so ended up using the primed 3/4" plywood from Lowes. I wasn't needing something super attractive, and these 4x8 sheets were high enough quality for my purposes.

    Very functional design. Now I've got to get to work and make one for my limited space. Can you share who is on your music track. Great stuff.

    • @MakeitGoode1

      Thanks so much! The music is licensed through TH-cam for video creators, and I simply chose some bluesy tracks to accompany this build. I appreciate you following along!

    Great video. One question though, I have the same Dewalt miter saw and it swings 50 degrees left and 60 degrees right. At those extremes, while rarely used, the handle will hit the extension wings no? Did you consider locating the saw further forward and/or pushing the wings back to allow those extreme movements? Thanks.

    • @MakeitGoode1
      @MakeitGoode1  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have the saw positioned so it can swing fully each way. I made sure to test that out before I secured it to the top.

    This was a great build with the added drawers. I actually bought his plans yesterday I have the same DWS780, I decided I too woould cut the useless handles off as they serve zero purpose from a comfort/lifting standpoint. I will file the sharp edges in case I ever move it. Now without those handles, I measured an exact 24-3/4, which would be a solid fit for the plans dimensions. I may add an 1/8" both sides. I am curious about the adjustable fences (left/right), does anyone actually need to move a miter-saw fence on port/stbd wings?

    • @MakeitGoode1
      @MakeitGoode1  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Agreed, once you have the saw set in place on a station like this, you shouldn't need the handles again. I do believe the adjustability of the fences is necessary. It needs to be able to be easily set up, and be able to be adjusted in case the saw goes bad, something happens to the station itself, or (though not likely), there is any movement/sizing in the wood of the station itself over time. I appreciate you following along, and I wish you all the best in building your cart and setting up your shop!

    @PermieIslandBird 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As a farmer that throws stuff together please explain to me why you need the tablesaw after using the track saw. Isn’t the point of the track saw is that it is able to be more accurate?

    • @MakeitGoode1
      @MakeitGoode1  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That's a great question! Each saw has its purpose, and in many cases, the two could be interchanged for a particular task. Accuracy is not necessarily the deciding factor here - both can be very accurate.
      The track saw, especially in my circumstance with such a small workspace, is great for long cuts and breaking down large stock into small pieces. You can use it to make a straight cut on a not-straight piece without having to use a jig. After each cut, there is a bit of reset required, particularly if you are clamping the track to your piece. So you basically have to re-measure, and move every cut you make.
      The table saw is perfect for making repeatable cuts. You set the fence to your width and run material through, over and again. Setting the fence for a new width is quick and simple. Of course, you can also use it for cross cuts, tapering, rabbeting, and so on - things that would be more difficult (but not impossible) to do with a track saw.
      I love having both tools in my small shop, but I use my table saw FAR more often than the track saw. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching.

    Great build, mate - looks great and works for the application. The only question I have is, where is your SAWSTOP? Only some TH-cam woodworkers need one? Haha - I am just joshing ... have fun, dude; cheers!
