    Amazing ideas all around. Extremely customizable to personal needs, no routing out grooves for tracks makes its very beginner friendly, which I'm a fan of. The 1/8 "gap", and tips of this sort, are exactly why I come here. I would have never thought of that. Thank you

    the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzread.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

    Jason: I found you a few weeks ago. I am going to find and watch ALL your videos. You have a great 'entertainment' technique. you turn a dry presentation into a engaging one. That said, I am 65 now, and only had a single-wide converted carport to work in (that I had to share with wifes/daughters 'stuff'. I was always moving 3 things to get access to one tool, then move stuff again to get access to another tool. NO MORE, I am about 75% done building my 'shed', it's 24x48 with 10' ceiling. All 2x6 construction. I'd upload a pic if I could, but don't know how. Anyway, one of the 1st thing I will be doing is implementing many of your 'suggestions'. Thanks and keep up the great work.

    This is giving me all kinds of ideas... I’m thinking threaded inserts for the angle iron with some room for adjustability and leaving the ability to temporarily remove the whole thing. Love the bolting method for t-track... the screws always suck in plywood, especially if in a dado groove. No need for epoxy wit bolts either

    I just adore this. I can't have it, but I adore it. I have one bench that I need for various jobs. Maybe with slotted t-tracks in the countertop so I can slide it forward and back, and a few small dowel holes for quick alignment... then I'll be able to mount multiple tools to the same spot as long as I can adjust their height. I already had to make big adjustable fences for my router and drill press. Maybe I can make it one fence, multiple tools. Not to mention having that one long and flat plane.

    Listen hear Jason, I had made my mind up that when I build my new miter saw station, I was going to use a bench on one side, and a flip up extender on the other side due to space constratints. Now watching this, I am back to building both sides with a bench. What am I going to do with Delta/Rockwell Jointer that will not fit under the bench. Thanks so much for the conundrum. All that said, I really like this fence system that is brilliantly simple.

Now they also work as assembly tables with a whole grid of t tracks. Just another option in case it fits someone's need out there.

    Rather than using only a straightedge, consider using a laser to sight the full length of your fence... that way you don't get any error at all even @ 6' or more from the saw, if your fence is that long. Set the laser on the opposing side so it slides down the entire length of your target fence, with the light visible along the built-in miter fence...

    Your suggestion about moving the aux fence back 1/8" from the miter saw fence seems to make practical sense for the times when you have a bow in the workpiece. However, if the aux fence is not going to touch the workpiece, why have an aux fence in the first place? Are the flip stop and the tape measure the reason you have the aux fence? If you have a bow in the board, an aux fence placed flush with the miter saw fence, would be a quick way to identify the problem, which then could be addressed with the jointer or a track saw prior to cross cutting on the miter saw with an accurate fence. A longer accurate fence would also assist in aligning a long board for an accurate cross cut, rather than relying on the short fence of the miter saw.
