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.

When I first saw the click bait photo I thought you repurposed a computer desk into a wood working set up!!! Nice job!
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.
Good job. Listening to you talk makes me think of..."this one time...at band camp". Hopefully someone gets this reference.

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.

"...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.
This is by far my favorite version of a miter saw station..... and I've watched 1 or 30. Great job

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.
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.
Great Job. It looks like you pulled bits and pieces from great woodworkers. Love the flip top.

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.

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.
Awesome build! Definitely going to be building myself something very similar to this. Keep up the great work

The biggest thing for me was having work surfaces without anything in the way. Originally I planned on having the fence extend onto the flip top, but even that would have taken away from the having additional work area.
Great video. What draw slides would you recommend? And can any draw slide jig be used to align holes?

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
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?
