Build a Miter Saw Station with Router Lift

[@EthanCarterDesigns]

Great build and video as always Caleb! Definitely jealous of the efficiency of have two sets of hands!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Ethan! We were both blown away how much faster it was.

[@BruceAUlrich]

ha ha ha...that dog yiped right when you sat on the little tricycle! Great video, Caleb! I love the idea of the angled cubbies so you don't lose counter space where you need it.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Bruce! I totally forgot about that clip until I reviewed the footage, it's pretty fantastic.

[@JJ-ey8ce]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

That color is stunning @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Much appreciated

[@WhiteLabWorkshop]

This is great, Caleb! I'm interested in building a miter station too, so I like seeing options. I especially like the router table built into it.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

We were trying to think of a way to make it different and it seemed like a logical add.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Amazing work caleb and Andrew @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Antonio!

[@sbrega]

How did you know I was just about to plan a mitre/routing station?! Perfect timing, thanks.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Glad I could help!

[@wayneblythe5713]

Great station, you’ve made me want to put a router lift in mine now. 👍🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks! It’s a really had place to have it

[@Voltechs]

Would love a close up/detailed description of the router table!

[@chrisnash2154]

4:47, vertical lumber storage... look like pocket holes were going from the inside out to the edge. Shouldn’t the pocket holes gone from the outside pointing in to the meat of the board?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

They were going down into the bottom board. It would be stronger for the bottom to be set between the sides and through the bottom to the sides. Then the forces are against acting the shear strength of the screws instead of the thread bite. But both ways are plenty strong and this was faster.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Awesome miter station @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks!

[@TheGrantAlexander]

Looks good, I especially your ride. How much lumber can you fit on that thing? Honestly, having two people working together I think makes it at least 3 times faster. (as long as you are actually working and not chit chatting like I always end up doing, lol)

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

We carried all the plywood for this project on that ride, it's amazing. Haha yeah, keeping the BS down is pretty important to actually being productive.. there was a good bit of both.

[@43srgrock]

very nice work.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thank you very much!

[@christofix]

What a great build, Caleb. I am currently designing my miter station and this video will certainly inspire me. nice work, man. Oh yeah and nice video too. I like the way you edit

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Chris! Hope you were able to get some ideas from it. I really like the lumber storage tray near the miter station. Easy to quickly put away pieces worth keeping or look for one. And thanks! We’ve been going a new direction with the editing, glad you like it 😊😊

[@christofix]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo Yes, I like it a lot. It is very professional! Well done man.

[@JkCanvas]

Looks great in the video and even better in person. Glad to know you are close to help me build mine when the time comes. 🤣🤣

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Let's do it man!

[@chrisadams1118]

Great video as usual. Very nice set-up. He probably learned a lot from watching and listening to you. Too bad he never caught on to you wearing safety glasses. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your work and your thought process.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Chris! I appreciate you watching and commenting 😊

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

So cool how by the time on the video it shows drawers and what your doing at the moment each section says something different exactly what your doing in the video i noticed you also put that info in the description do you only need to add it to description for it to show up next to the time in the video? how do you do that? i have noticed that on several videos Caleb @YouCanMakeThisToo

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

I love that feature! It's new, it's called chapter. Scroll down in the description and you'll see the timecode list. So long as it's starts with 0:00 it'll do that automatically.

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo that is so cool so all you have to do is type it out in the description like you did and it activates chapter scroll?

[@appalachianmountaindesigns7713]

Great job guys, nice looking station. Thanks for sharing. *Chris*

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks for watching, Chris!

[@nigelmtb]

You *can* have enough clamps; you can't have too many...

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Very well said

[@reformedllamaman]

I'm sure there's an easy answer, but why did you guys inset the back of the cabinets so far on the base? Did that support the counter top more evenly?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Great question! There’s a few factors. The counter depth is set by what’s needed to support the widest the saw can cut. The cabinet depth was set to conserve material. The base was oversized for simplicity. Then the cabinets came away from the wall as far as they needed to meet the front of the counter top. Hope that answers the question.

[@reformedllamaman]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo 100%. I appreciate you taking the time to answer

[@davidmartens6995]

Woow that's awesoen 🖒 I'm very untoo wood working in I've carved a cople of sines in now I'm just quires ware could I put them up for sale or like how do you sale your stuff?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

I sell on my website. But I’ve done craft shows too. Find local markets or use Etsy are good places to start.

[@davidmartens6995]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo Alright I really appreciate it man :-) and you really inspire me by doing what you're doing so keep up the good work sir

[@davidmartens6995]

@@YouCanMakeThisToo Also do you have anie advice for me I would really love customizing signs for people but I don't know how to get them get in contact with me

[@ArmyVet76]

That’s an awesome mitre station👊🏼 Great Build

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thank you!

[@barnyardkh4]

Did you use glue on the cabinet carcasses?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Just pocket screws. Glue wouldn’t help much here cause it’d be half endgrain gluing you veneer

[@MiketheEye]

BEAUTIFUL final product! I'm very excited about this next video I'm working on for ya... ;)

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Mike! You did a great edit, can't wait to see the next one!

[@FirewoodDesigns]

Awesome video as always. I need to build a bigger shop just so I can build bigger shop furniture like this. Keep up the great videos!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks! It's SO nice to have in the shop. All the consolidated storage is pretty sweet.

[@atuttle]

Man I hate doing this because nobody likes the fun police, but please take care of yourselves so you can keep working in the craft for a long time to come. I didn't see any ear protection at all (a personal pet peeve of mine, because I have tinnitus) and your buddy didn't wear eye protection even once that we saw in the video. I have very few rules in my shop but #1 is safety. Nobody comes in without shoes on, and everyone wears eye protection at all times no matter what we're doing. Ear protection is added if we're using power tools, and dust masks too when appropriate.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Great points, your rules are pretty similar to my rules. But everyone runs their shop differently. Ultimately, it's a personal choice.

[@JohntheSchreiner]

Awesome job, as usual!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks!

[@calleeharris4182]

Video came out great!!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thank you!!

[@JimPepperTactical]

I woulda finished the walls first but nice setup.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

As soon as we got started he said "I really shoulda finished the walls first." haha. I'm sure he'll do that some time, eventually.

[@RobyWanKenobi]

So what height do you recommend for someone 5'6" like me?

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Mine are around 35" It depends on what kind of work you're going to do be doing though. If it's a miter station, I'd recommend about elbow height or similar to your other machines to make it easy to move it around.

[@neishat]

This project came out really nice! Great team work guys!!!!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Thanks, Neisha!!

[@thewoodshop69]

The 1st time he drops something behind the cabinets he would have wished he put plywood on the walls

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Probably
