A miter saw station is a great way to get storage and utility in your workshop. The modular design means you can build as many as you want and link them together for excellent storage.

I like the idea of using half-depth shelves with door storage in the upper cabinets. That way you don't "lose" the stuff that gets put in the back. Thanks for sharing!

One other trick to keep your boards from shifting when installing pocket holes, is to use a quick setting glue like thick and quick wait about 5 to 6 minutes, and then drive the screws home. This takes a little bit longer however if you’re going to set up and batch these out and say, you’re making four or five cabinets, by the time you get finished assembling the fifth one that you could go back to the first and everything should be pretty rigid with that quick setting glue. Sorry to be long-winded here but this is a technique I use from time to time. Also, Brad your set up is looking dope brother

[@FisherCatProductions]

Great vid, lots of good ideas! Thanks. A 6" wide board cut from the factory edge of an 8' sheet of 3/4" stable sheet stock is much cheaper than even an inexpensive 70" level. Placing a quality level on top of the edge of the board gives you an excellent result. (You don't really need the level if you are just checking for coplanar tops, just the perfectly straight board edge.)

I love these modular cabinets. I want to do a whole wall. But man... that would set me back a pretty penny. And take a while. But one of the things I love about these is that I can build a couple now and add some later like you did. These are great. I'll be buying the bundle of plans soon!

The beauty is it's modular so you can build as you have the money and time. But then you're at the mercy of different shades of plywood 😂😂

I bought Brad's plan (package deal) last year and my garage was/is the envy of the neighborhood (no joke). Even the wives walking around would comment and tell their husbands to check out my shop. The quality of the plans and the ease of following along with the instructions put these plans at the top of my favorites list. Can't go wrong. No, Brad didn't pay me to say this! LOL!

[@forster46]

Any chance you can tell me how many sheets of plywood it takes to build the 13ft run??

Use the Castle pocket machine and there won't be any movement, you can pretty much hold by hand. It uses a 3 degree angle for the screw hole to prevent movement.

[@chrish8294]

Brad, recent subscriber here. I love the above cabinet wood storage. What types of shelves are those/ where did you get them?

[@RadaRADAcaptinCRunch]

Try elevator bolts, they have a flat head. Not rounded like the carriage bolts. I use them for all projects that need leveling feet!

[@paulbuffington9709]

To further ensure pocket holes do not drift on you; 1) Clamp things up like you showed. 2) I use an awl inside the pocket hole to put in indent where the screw should go. Gives the screw a place to start and not drift on you.

[@davieharris]

Great vid - Really enjoyed watching it. Quick question RE some tooling - At 2:08 there's a drill bit with a large round disc on it. I think at that point you are drilling countersink holes, but I am not clear on what the large round disc is for?

[@chriswilson7199]

Love all of your content and am glad you have plans available as well. I am trying to evaluate whether to build or buy. For a base 2 door cabinet and upper 2 door cabinet, what would you say each would cost to build per your plans? Thanks for your help in advance.

Mate I love what you do! i'm very keen to join and purchase plans but is there any chance of getting measurements in metric as well on the plans?

[@bobboursaw2784]

Yeah great build. Looking forward to trying this out and building some for myself. Wondering if there is anything additional that needs to be adjusted if I use a deeper cabinet depth? I have plenty of space in my shop so I would rather do 24" depth.

[@garyburnett7378]

Just a thought. When I needed to age maple, I used to put it in the sun for a couple of hours until they matched. Then seal and topcoat. Much easier than relocating cabinets.

I recently built the workbench with drawers and 2 of the upper cabinets. I bought all the lumber, hardware, screws, and finish, etc together, and was out close to $500 at HD. I bought full sheets of plywood and have 75% left of a 3/4" and 1/2", and 90% left of a 1/4" sheet. I did not need to buy any tools, however.

@@michaelgreen3224 It really depends on where you are in the country, and what your wood sources are. Shouldn’t be too hard to go to a lumber store or big box store and price it out in a very rough way. You could probably do it by looking at the stores website.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Prices are going to range depending on your location and lumber prices. And also the type of cabinets you build (a 5 drawer cabinet will be way more than a lower cabinet with just doors due to cost of slides). I think I have 10 to 12 sheets of 3/4 plywood in that whole 13' setup and maybe 1 1/2" and a few 1/4" for drawer bottoms and dividers.

Im building a miter saw station based on your plans, however, I'd like to incorporate a measure tape, ttrack and stop block capability, AND...I want to laminate my countertop with black formica laminate. Can you recommend the order in which to do these things, and what to do to prevent chipout when routing ttrack groove into the laminated surface (assuming you recommend laminating first). Thanks.

[@schmidt28117]

I saw your video ( and laughed at the comment about a month's pay in plywood). So I looked at my kitchen cabinets today. Much of the frames are 1/2 to 3/4 in, but the sides appear to be 1/4". The sides are cut into the frame with dado's or rabbits. Would this a way to reduce cost and weight, but not really impact strength that much? Love the channel and the positive attitude while you work!

[@flix4u]

Love em - the slight color variation of the new vs the old wood would (pun) bother me too.

[@HienLe-dd1rk]

Do you change pocket hole direction (vertical on sides vs horizontal on top/bottom) on the floor cabinets vs the ones hung on the wall?

[@rw7532]

Thanks for the video. You seem to think every detail through including some I would overlook. How high above your lower cabinets did you mount the upper cabinets? I think you might be just an inch or so taller than me so our reach is similar. I know there are "industry standards" of the placement......but I am the only one using my garage shop.

[@pas0231]

What would you do for the base cabinet top if you had a 105" span of cabinets (2 sets of double cabinets and 3 drawer cabinets) since ply is only 96" long? Would you just split it in half with a trim piece in the middle?

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

That or I might just edge join two pieces if I could get it clean enough and have a small seam line that I putty and sand flat

[@alexclausen5480]

Thoughts on 1/2” vs 3/4” BB ply for drawer boxes? Is 1/2” gonna be too flimsy for heavy drawer loads?

Great set-up! Any recommendations for a room that is 8 foot width? I have a 12" compound sliding miter saw that is 26" wide that I'm trying to squeeze in. Fitting the saw in the counter leaves me with 70" of counter space. I'm aware that I have no room to cut 8 foot length wood, but I need a place for the saw. It's too heavy to store away. The room is 8' x 8', very small I know.. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Quick question. First love your videos. So it looks like you are constantly using russian baltic birch plywood. If that is true my question is will i get the same results using plywood from a lumber store; not home depot but a real lumber store?
