@@Lincolnstww Count me in. Planning to build my storage unit that happens to have a miter saw on it this summer.

As a woodworker the mitre saw is very useful. As a homeowner/ DIYer the mitre saw is a necessity. I would love to see someone trim a room with their table saw sled.

I was debating building jigs for my circular saw, instead of buying a miter saw. In the end, those jigs will take up more or less the same space on the shelf as my miter and the costs for building the jigs is nearly as much as a blue bosch GCM 8 SJL. So, miter saw it is.

Agree! For a majority of the furniture I build, I can cut everything accurately by hand or with my table saw. But as a homeowner, building decks, trim, repairs, etc., I would replace my miter saw instantly.

Agree 100%. If all you're doing is building fine furniture, Ok, maybe you don't need a miter saw. But if you're a hobbyist, planning to do any mobile work, or to do any kind of home improvement work, than miter saw is probably at the top of the list.

Use an ordinary hand-held circular saw. Easy

I love the Madeline reference! I read those books to my kids for so many years. Keep the great content coming!

So glad to see you took their advice and built separate toe kicks. I’m a 30 year experience cabinet and furniture maker, and seperate toe kicks is only way I built cabinets even the island and entertainment furniture. You can level and secure 10 times faster than leveling cabinets. Once leveled your base cabinet install is 50% faster on average

I appreciate that!

I always enjoy your apparent transparency, explanations, and subtle humor. Creators, such as yourself, who share information from evident experience, are the ones I look for when venturing into unfamiliar DIY territory. More importantly, I trust these creators when they explain why they recommend products. I am mentioning this because potential sponsors would do well by their shareholders if they sponsored your channel with Lincoln St. Woodworks-worthy products.

"A bank of cabinets that helpful and convenient tool sits on" is a brilliant reframing - and something I needed to hear as I've been on the fence about building a "dedicated" miter saw station. I've been following your channel since you had just a few videos up and as a small shop owner myself, I've learned so much from you. Looking forward to even more content and definitely going on the list for that stop block!

One of your best videos yet man. Glad someone is addressing the “know it alls” that try to tell people what they should or shouldn’t have. By the way, LOVE the walnut. It’s your shop brother, make it how you like it!

100% on that one!!

This may seem odd to many, but apart from the tools I use in my shop, I enjoy the visual environment I work in. You do a lot of work in yours, so why not make it look appealing too.

Miter? Hardly knew'er

I sold my mitersaw after not really using it a whole lot except for a time or two every other week to break down rough lumber. Knowing that I’ll be moving into a new place and shop, I knew I needed one again. I’ll need to make a lot of quick cuts as I’m setting everything up. Haven’t moved yet but having one again is so nice . Hopefully I’ll have enough space for a station at my next place. I’ll never make the mistake of not having one again. BTW, the 10in Skil just might be the best value out there. For 230$ after taxes, I am surprised just how great that thing is.

The puns, the truths, the little tid bits like acknowledging pocket screws will pull out of line if not careful... even acknowledging heavier drawer slides and camera angles. You sir, just earned a sub. Usually I don't like a lot of DIY shop guys with fancier tools than I have lmao

The guy who drinks a lot of bourbon...had me laughing on that one. As many videos that are out there, it is cool to see how many woodworkers watch other woodworkers videos!

As a laminate tech for many years I used slats from venetian blinds under the glued laminate to suspend it from touching down. They are thin, easy to clean, stack well in your box, and they are CHEAP! Other folks swear by dowels but I can stack 50 slats in a much smaller space than 50 dowels!

.Have been doing laminate for more years than I would like to admit, have always used leftover laminate self-edge strips between the glued surfaces. most around 30" and a few around 40" to reach into the back of a inside corner.

"I think of a brad nailer as an extra set of hands that no-one will ever see." Hallelujah.

IMHO a mitre saw is a necessity. That is one great looking station.

You’re one of the best woody tubers on this old platform, great delivery, cheery book, brilliant tips, and fantastically explained. I love you man, and if you wore a dress, I’d marry you in a heartbeat. Marvellous!

Everyone has their own opinion I guess. But my miter saw is by far the most used tool in the shop. I did a similar setup by building the saw between cabinets so it has one continuous work surface along with a stop block, dust collection, and plenty of lighting. Nice work on your end and I hope you get a ton of use out of it.

Oh yeah, that Kreg 520 is my favorite so far. So versatile, I’m good with the lack of dust collection in exchange for the ability to bring it to the work piece

I'm a retired contractor who is now doing woodworking as a hobby and maybe a little supplement retirement income. You would think that they are similar but they are worlds apart at times. As a contractor a miter saw was a must have tool and used all the time and the table saw was a secondary tool that was nice to have sometimes. In woodworking almost the opposite is true, I say almost because I think the miter saw is still very valuable in woodworking. I have watched videos where I'm thinking I can do that on a miter saw so much easier and faster with the same results, and I usually do. Guess I'm just used to using them after all these years. I'm looking for ideas on how to build my miter station in my small shop so will definitely keep this video in mind. Thanks for the videos and I like the humor that you have in them.

I love the upgraded miter station. Huge upgrade in functionality, I will definitely keep some of these design principles in mind as I build my first miter station soon. Well done John! It has been a joy watching this channel grow, keep it up!

Anyone who says a miter saw isn't accurate clearly never set it up correctly... I love my miter saw! Excellent video as always 👍

Thank you for the tips. I have a new small shop space to build out and love the ideas you show. Thanks for keeping it real for us true weekend woodworkers.

Another terrific video! A unique but very usable design. And that stop block is 💯. I can’t wait to see it develop. I really love your honest, practical, and humorous approach - keep it up! 👍🏼

I have been woodworking for 20 years and I my miter saw has always been a "go to" tool. That is a great workstation and, for me, it's timely. I have to finally update mine. I used that toe kit concept when I did my kitchen cabinets and it was a game changer. Thanks for the great videos!

No miter saw in any shop is nonsense. Love the useful drawers with a miter saw on top! You have a very pleasant face!

I heard you out...watched the whole video. I have a small space without a dedicated assembly area...still don't think i will ever have a miter saw in my shop. You convinced me that you truly believe in it, but still haven't convinced me that i need one.

Im so glad your making videos again. Im turning my 10x24 shed into my wood shop and you have become very helpful for a lot of tips. Thank you

Very good video. There is more down-to-earth sensible info in this 21+ minute video than in the last 210 minutes of wood working vids I’ve watched here on KZread. Great hacks and advice. Oh, and yes…. We are not building rocket ships in our wood shops. That’s a great thought to keep in mind.

I really love the look of the maple! Its really pretty, and its satisfying to see the grain match up.

I am so thankful I stumbled across your videos. All of them are fun to watch, informative and you are so honest. My husband and I make very simple (and I'm talking VERY simple) wood projects as we don't have anywhere near the amount of tools you have however, I love to watch how you can turn wood into something beautiful. Looking forward to more videos.

Love that stop block! And partnering with Izzy just tells me it will be rock solid! Just moved to a new place and building out my shop. Was gonna make a stop but seeing that tells me yo make a temp one til that is available.

such a great point about the cutlist optimizer. Something i have struggled with on several projects and never realized the problem with it until you pointed it out.

I use my miter saw so often I have a big one that stays in my shop and a small one for smaller projects that I can move around. Those tiny drawers are comical because you would think it’s a waste of time and money to make but I would load them up with marking tools and small tape measures. I love it!

Great video. Love the project and your dry humor! I agree a miter saw is a must! Did without one for the first couple years I began woodworking. It is SO freakin nice!

Travis did an awesome job with his design of the dust collection and I know this because his was the 2nd dust collection I purchased because the first one from another 3D print maker imploded !!! Great video love your stuff and the project manager was the best addition!!!!

Spectacular build! Your whole design is beyond my current capabilities, but I learned quite a bit. Thanks!

I have not set up my miter saw in my new shop yet and while I miss it, I haven't missed it too much. It's also VERY helpful to have it mobile for trim projects.

Your videos are very easy to follow, and I really appreciate the disclaimer you give when talking about woodworking.

9:12 thanks for the affirmation, It's really nice to know I'm doing it right too.

Another great video John the miter saw station turned out amazing great work. Can’t wait to see the new stop blocks they look very cool

I am a huge fan of miter saws. I make mostly smaller items, and honestly use the miter way more than a table saw. Props to using Alms fancy angled drawer!

Great build John! Keep up the good work.

Very nice build. I got rid of my mitersaw several years ago because I thought I could use the space better. I do miss it, and you have me rethinking things.

One of the best pieces of shop furniture I've seen. Looks great!

Heck yeah I love my miter saw! I use it all the time. Sweet build, thanks for sharing your experience ❤

Love your build. Aesthetically pleasing as well as functional. Marc Spagnuolo of the Wood Whisperer said it well I think. As much time as you spend in your shop, there is no reason it shouldn't look nice. I also agree that the miter saw is an important piece of shop equipment. 👍

Love your humour in your videos. Your top 10 for sure :)

I need this stop block! So clever ideas!

I just discovered you channel. Really good content! I am a moderate to advanced hobbyist diy that uses my DeWalt DW708 12” sliding miter saw frequently. I have had this saw for 22 years and the only things that I have replaced is the power cord and plastic inserts at the blade track. With a quality blade, and occasional tune/check up, has served me very well. I have been looking for a new ‘base’ for my saw as my shop layout changes and really love your design. An f-em, I will probably use some walnut and birds eye maple I have on hand as you have!

Amazing miter station! The walnut looks great! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talent!

I particularly like your final statement! If I two thumbs up were permitted here I would have given them.👍👍

Love the new videos since your "retirement" So much fun to watch! I use my miter saw all the time!

Great video! New set up looks so much better. I’ve learned a lot from your vids! I’m a noob at woodworking but I learn more each day. I just finished my workbench and I’m on to my next project. Keep up the good work!

Two thumbs up! Easy to understand and follow along with. Thank you

Thanks for the tips. Just started watching you and am impressed, I grew up on Norm and it’s great to find someone in his caliber.

I've been noodling on how to do a miter saw station for years and I think _this_ is the design that will work for me. Well done!!

I have three compound miter saws in my shop, two on shop built carts, and one that folds up contractor style. I teach technical theatre and can't begin to imagine a shop without "chop" saws. Table saws are great, but they are just one tool and can't do everything. I'm also down my cabinet table saw right now due to being in a temporary space. Wouldn't dream of giving up my panel saw or band saw either. I have a very tiny shop for the tools we use and the amount of scenery we build so nearly everything is on wheels, even our "contractor's" table saw can lift up on casters, and our work tables have locking casters. Every inch of space under every work surface is storage. I think the only universal thing in a wood shop is no one ever has enough space. Thank you for the spotlight on miter saws. Compound miter saws are great tools, it shines differently from other saws. Like you said, each of us know best what we need in our shops. There really isn't one "right" answer.

I love and use the heck out of my miter saw. It’s indespensible. And i love your use of the walnut on those cabinets. I'm a big fan of walnut anyway, but it’s beautiful on that workstation

When I use cutlist, I usually enter my stock sheets as 48x48. It's not the most efficient, but cutlist frequently expects you to make 8 foot long cuts along the entire length of the sheet. Cutting your plywood sheets in half and breaking them down from there is way easier and you're far less likely to make mistakes. Obviously this doesn't work for pieces that need to be longer than 4 feet, but it works for most cabinet builds. Worst case scenario you have to buy an extra sheet of plywood for an oversized piece, and then you have some left over for other projects.

It’s beyond beautiful!

My miter saw is very very close to accurate but if I need to be super duper accurate then it's very handy and fast to get the rough size of long lumber and then the exact cut on the table saw. I would not give up my miter saw and if other people do, well good for them. That "not a miter station" came out really well. Good job LSW!

I have had a Miter Saw for YEARS prior to getting in to actual woodcraft, and I've used it a lot for projects around the house, and am sure i will for wood craft. Love how the station turend out! I will definitely draw inspiration when i want to redo the pieces that were in place when i bought my house. (Shelves, not a station with a top level with the cutting surface)

I love it when other peoples' "small" shops are 3 times bigger than mine.

just got a miter saw for the first time and hope to make good use of it. thank-you for a well reasoned video

I bought one of those dust collectors from shop nation for my miter saw. Love it!

Great assembly table you built there, with a useful tool on top.

Dude, you've gotten really good at this. I like that you cut to yourself in the booth during the commentary. It's awesome.

Finally someone who actually “gets it”. Your one of the few (if only other) woodworkers who has the same garage “footings” like me. I absolutely HATE them. You cannot push anything flush against the walls and you lose around 3-1/2” of space! Especially, being you already need to have to be out a few feet from the wall as is if your miter saw has “sliding rails”.

Mitre saw was my first big item buy. 12 years later I just bought a table saw and thickness planner. I'm a baker that loves working with wood in my spare time. The mills have always been able to help me with that other stuff but now I wanna retire from baking and play with my wood more. 😅

AWESOME VIDEO! To notch Jon that was a fantastic video. It's been fun to see you Instagram updates and now the actual video really makes me want to build one for myself.

Thank you for the vid.... I am picking up woodwork as a hobby and you have great tips. Thank you. Love your sarcasm and your sense of humor. Keep up the great work.

That black and walnut is a hell of a combo! Looks good.

Very helpful and entertaining! Thank-you.

Great job, looks awesome

Downloaded and saved! Great build!

I see a different distinction in using my miter saw. Initially, i used my miter saw on a portable sawhorse-style stand so I could stow it when not in use. It was inconvenient to set it up, so I rarely used it except for big projects. I built a permanent mobile stand for it and it is always connected to power and dust collection. It is SO handy to make a quick cut with no setup. Eliminating the setup time was the key to the saw being useful (for me).

I’ve been one of those “no miter saw in a small shop” people. I didn’t want to loose the space, but with some of the methods you illustrate in the video I remember it’s not just a “chop saw” to break things down. I’m now considering dedicating a station like this! Thanks

Most used machine in the shop, would be loft without one ! I appreciate your sense of humour, subscribed !

That came out great. Love the walnut accents.

Thanks John great video. I've been looking for a ridiculously aewsome miter station build 👍💥

Great video. Love your organization.

Truly excellent video, looking forward to building.
