HI Guys I have completely copied the build of this mitre station as I also fee it was the best and most solid of them all. Great job and thanks a million as I could not make up my mind what I wanted.
Awesome build! Exactly what I had in mind for my garage shop. Thanks for posting.
I loved the DIY dust collection below the saw, this looks great!
Thanks for posting this build. It's exactly what I want to put in my new woodshop.
Just brilliant - thank you for the inspiration. Super easy to follow, but the build is really smart, and ensures stability. Really clever details. Bought the plan (more than worth it), and getting the plywood today to finish it off. Thanks again!
Thanks for the video! It’s the design I was looking for. Great step by step
I don't think that's a simple miter saw station... That's a professional miter saw station 👍🏻! Awesome job!
This is perfect. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!
Your workbench dust collection is the best!!!!
Just purchased the digital plan on Etsy. Thanks for sharing your work!
Great job, it reminds me of my workbench build with the pocket hole joinery and shellac. You were spot on sanding between coats and doing so will yield a great looking smooth finish. 👍🏼
Chuckle, I can relate to the upside down pocket holes. I am not even filming but it seems I do silly things like that enough to keep me humble! Love your vids!
Awesome! Thx. Btw - the leveling feet on your plans is such a great add/tip! I didn’t realize how unlevel my shop floor was!
Thanks for sharing. This is very close to what I had in mind. And I mean very, very close but I wasn't sure if it would be suitable for me until I watched your video. It will definitely be suitable and I'm sure of it because of your efforts here. Big help!
Awesome build. Thanks!
congratulations, one of the most beautiful and understandable videos on the web. I have seen many videos on KZread to make my workbench but I think I will take a cue from your project. congratulations again and greetings from Italy.
Wow, very well done and looks fantastic.
Very nice! Now I want to make one that is mobile, smaller, flip top for miter, and table saw at one end. Great work!
Great video, I made one, it looks close but lacks some refinement. Got the idea from yours, thanks for the inspiration.
My favorite build so far. Very nice work!!!

Nice set up. You've given me some ideas! Greetings from Ireland
That came out great! Nice build and video!
Awesome job, I am going to be making a station for my new mitre saw :-)
Simple but great idea to offset the 2x4 legs accommodate horizontal frame
Muito bacana ficou excelente seu projeto mesa de bancada foi uma ótima apresentação e muito boa à demonstração valeu obrigadao
Great job! You inspired me!
Dude! This was excellent. Absolutely beautiful end product. Subscribed.
Well done!
Great job. Love it.
“Put the pocket holes the wrong way.” I swear I do something like that on every single project 😆. Great video. It gave me some ideas to improve my station.
this is dope man, going to copy
Exactly what I was looking for
A 4" back splash would be nice to stop bits and pieces from falling off the back. Once you get drawers in it's gonna be a pain in the neck to retrieve whatever falls back there. I have a similar set up except I did a level toe kick and open cabinets. I installed 1/2" plywood over the stud wall then scribed my worktop to it. Spriral downcut router bits are the bomb. Zero tear out.
A fine Table. Greetings from Vienna, Reini.
Great video. I just purchased the digital plans. I'm going to be starting the build tomorrow. Can't wait and hope you make a video about what your doing about the bottom part of jt.

You can flip that table extension down to support that plywood while you rip it, i love that tablesaw
I love the videos gives me idea to build a mitre saw bench I am a avid woodworker I use recycled wood and pallet wood. God bless you.
you have made my day!!!!
Nice job.
Looks awesome. Very well explained. I
Great video - really well done. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do the drawers with the 2x4 frames. That's what I want to do in my shop to cut down on costs from just using plywood. One suggestion - the video would be even better without music while you are working/talking. Thanks again for the content!

Nice clean looking bench 👍 I would have liked to see 12 to 14 inches of bench from t-track,,, instead of that six to eight inches ,,,, but each to their own 👍
Wow!
Nice build, as I watch this I had a chuckle. I built mine out of the concrete forms they used for my garage foundation. Is lumber too expensive or am I too cheap?
Thanks for the great plans! My son and I are building it for the garage and it's been a great weekend project! Question: Are the two 3/4 in plywood tops thick enough to support some bench dog holes? Thinking of making the smaller side a light duty woodworking bench.

Hello Patriot. Your video has inspired me to build my own miter station almost exactly like yours. I need to ask you if you dimensioned your 2x4s for this build. They look straight and they are all the same color but I did see some manufacturing stamps on them which led me to believe you did not plane or square them up. How important is it that you plane and square up these 2x4s for this build? Thank you and keep up the great work. You made it look so easy - but I'm a beginner and I'm sure I will have a harder time than you did. Maybe not though - with your video to reference I should be okay. Thanks again.

Nice, but let me ask you something: can you rely on those Kreg tape measure stickers you have along the t-track? How do you align it so you can be sure it's going to give you an accurate cut? Seems like if you change the blade on your miter saw it could throw those off.

No. just makes for a much stronger bench that will last, especially with an 8ft length 2 sheets will help prevent sagging. And if you dont glue it your top layer can be removed and replaced easily if you want. and yes, it accommodates t track.
