Miter Saw Station Cabinets and Work Surface - 194

jayscustomcreations.com/?p=10553
I'm finally making progress on my miter saw station. I've been wanting to make a new miter saw station for this shop ever since moving into it. It will be a lot more than just a miter saw station though. It will have 20 or so drawers, my miter saw, CNC, air compressor, trash can, and my planer.

I bet that felt great when you started to use your new level surfaces to build the rest of the cabinets, using the mitre station to build the mitre station! Very satisfying! I love the way you stack everything so neatly whilst you are building, I'm afraid this neatness is something we don't share, as my wife will testify! Great build and video, thanks for posting and sharing Jay.

[@MrHairball05]

Jay has been a great inspiration as I come into my own and build my own workshop. I worked for several years as a finish guy under someone and had no reason to have a shop of my own. With the purchase of my first real home, this has changed. I've built tables, end tables, lamps and my entire workshop to keep doing projects around here. This workstation is paramount to my continued success and the evolution of my real finish skills. Thanks for an amazing page, fantastic videos and constant inspiration; for the love of wood keep it up!!!

[@locoken]

Having worked for a cabinet maker off/on for awhile now, this video was a pleasure to watch. Can't wait to see the rest of the build and as always, love watching your videos, Jay! Keep 'em coming! Glad there are guys out there that enjoy woodworking as much as I do. Keep the craft alive!

[@steveowen1815]

This is definitely in my future....Got to get my garage insulated and boarded up first, then comes the fun stuff...Just getting into woodworking again after 15 years and I can't wait. I need to get a couple more basic tools to get my workshop in working order, but this is an awesome addition to any workshop!

[@69virgin1966]

It's looking really good Jay. I'll just bet that you will be glad when it's done. Can't wait to see the finished project. Thanks for sharing Roy

[@Bozemancurtis]

Just finished building mine from Jay's plans. Really proud to have finished it and happy with the way it turned out.

[@vanstonecypher]

I'm glad the plywood was worth keeping this time! I can't wait to see the finished product.

[@richalsop]

Coming back to re-watch this build series 3 years later. Great videos.

[@JayBates]

It's been close to two years since I made this miter saw station so I shot a follow up video covering some of the common questions. See it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hquvg2eQat5qh7s

[@VampireOnline]

I think I've watched the miter saw station videos like 5 times..... too much day dreaming and not enough building the damn thing haha.

[@MichaV88]

Jay, do you know the name of the screws for leveling the cupboards?

[@knightcrwler]

I have seen a couple of your videos and visited your web page, I am very impressed with your work and passion. I am planning on organizing my garage and you have given me a starting point. I thank you for your ideas and recommendations.

[@PaulMeyette]

Glad you gave in and taped your progress. Nice build. Can't wait to see the rest.

[@BillHantzopoulos]

Great video Jay. There are so many tips I got from this video for building garage cabinets. Great time savers. Looking forward to the rest of the build and more ideas.

[@JayBates]

Bill Hantzopoulos Awesome. Thanks for watching Bill. I appreciate it.

[@mrpaulkennedy]

Awesome Jay. I've been watching you channel/s now for a month or so now. I've got a fairly unique workshop space that's going to take some innovative solutions. Your ideas are so practical and have given me lots of solutions to these problems I have. Thanks. It must take forever to edit these videos!

[@kevinglidden3734]

Looks good Mr. Bates, very nice.

[@DIYTyler]

The adjustable feel idea is brilliant, probably much more stable than anything you can buy specifically for that. You were probably loving your foreman!

[@sandyhearn8332]

I love your miter station. I would not call myself a woodworker, but I am a 58 year old woman who builds lots of shelves, and does lots of home improvements. And I do have my own power tools and workshop. I have built my own workbench, just threw something together with scraps and I built lots shelves above the workbench that I can barely reach. I like yours because being only 5 ft 1 inch, I could easily reach everything the way you built it. Plus I like how the counter tops support long boards while cutting them with the miter saw. Excellent idea. Though I am not very good at making drawers, I could instead make it to fit my plastic bins and even add more bins. I use a lot of them in my workshop, I store things like my jigsaw and circular saw in plastic bins along with the manual and the little tools that go with them so everything is together, I also store things like scrapers and other things in bins, keeps the dust off. And I could even add higher shelves for seldom used things.

[@MegaWicked007]

Looks good, nice planning. Can't wait to see the end results. Thanks David

[@bryanbatts]

I guess even though I started my Station already, I may have to make some changes!! Nicely done. Can't wait to see how you will set up a stop block system for making several cuts same length! Thanks Jay!!! A+++

[@troyharlow24]

Coming together nice, you can tell you have a natural mind for design. Can't wait to see more.

[@jofloresz]

Wow, beautiful!! Now that is a monster chop saw station!! Great job thanks for sharing!!

[@WillThat]

I made a built in for my stacked washer and dryer and put a top and bottom cabinets where the washer was. Completely put together with the kregg jig. That thing is awesome.

[@ryanemmanowell9703]

Looks like a great start!! I bet it was a great feeling moving everything out of the way to get started on installing. Keep it up!

[@Ren3231]

Nice setup and looks like it will be an efficient use of space. Love the el cheapo leveling feet. Good one!

[@bigredstinkeringshed9636]

Such a perfect setup Jay, great work. This'll be on my to do list once we're in a bigger place!!

[@irishhandyman2009]

Great design and workmanship. I like the idea of all the storage. Keep up the good work.

[@craigpereira6381]

Jay that looks great. Can't wait to see the finished product. It's looking very smart.

[@dnngskn62]

Great design and build Jay. One heck of a miter saw station.

[@thedjob]

It is A Pleasure watching you work!

[@MikeMerzke]

Very impressive Jay! I really like how you have everything laid out and even had a home for your S2! I look forward to seeing the rest of the build!

[@JayBates]

Mike Merzke Thanks Mike. The first priority was to have lots of storage. Second was to make it a miter saw station.

[@elduro1422]

Excelente Jay..como siempre..sos un maestro con la madera..muchísimas gracias por compartir tus conocimientos con todo el mundo..gracias a gente como vos aprendo siempre algo nuevo..GRACIAS DE NUEVO!!! saludos!!!

[@lamiallegerald3341]

Very nice job. Can't wait to see it finished with the drawers.

[@JayBates]

Lamialle Gerald Thanks. Lots of repetition to go.

[@adamhollermann5208]

Looks great so far Jay, can't wait to see the finished piece!

[@jimbob6406]

Very nice. Can't wait to see the finished station.

[@JayBates]

Jim Bob Thanks Jim. Me either!! :)

[@mfwoodshop]

That going to awesome. I liked the way you leveled the cabinets. I never seen anyone do it that way before. Good tip

[@Barrysworkshop]

Looking good, and it appears that you're making good use of space. I have a love/hate relationship with my SCMS because it takes up so much space and creates so much dust. At the same time, I still find it very useful and use it almost every time I'm in the workshop. It looks like your plan addresses both the dust and the space issue.

[@JayBates]

Barry's Workshop Thanks. There is waaaaay too much wasted space with a typical SCMS so I chose to use as much of it as I could with drawer storage.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Cool project! Lots of pocket holes, interesting the way you handled those huge sheets of plywood! Thanks for sharing!

[@JayBates]

Scrap wood City Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@discgolftrainnut]

Cool cabinets, can't wait to see it finished.

[@JayBates]

Danengewood- .Dan Engebretsen Thank you.

[@ryanray72]

The "checking for level" sequence reminded me of something out of a video game. Lego Star Wars I think. :) Anyway, great stuff as usual, Jay. I've ripped off so many of your ideas for my shop/projects that it's almost shameful. What is the most impressive thing about watching your channel is seeing you progress as a woodworker/maker. That element, coupled with insane talent, great video editing, clear and instructive verbiage, and more are what make your channel one of my favorites.

[@abelnieto432ify]

It is huge!!!So much space for storage,I can't wait to see what it looks like with all of the drawers!!

[@JayBates]

Abel Nieto I'm pretty excited to get this done. Thanks for watching Abel. It's going to have a ton of drawer storage.

[@baconsoda]

This is looking good. I could watch your videos all day. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@JayBates]

baconsoda Thank you Brendan. I very much appreciate it sir.

[@juanburgos2807]

Many things to learn in your videos, very nice progress! Hugs from Colombia

[@donnymcarter]

Nice design and build Jay! Definitely an upgrade from the folding table!

[@zazza75]

Great reorganization of your workshop spaces.

[@JayBates]

Christian Zanni Thanks Christian. Lots more to do!

[@Troy_Campbell]

Looking good, getting the foundation done makes it easier to visualize what it will look like when finished. Now the fun part, drawers, drawers and more drawers :)

[@JayBates]

Troy Campbell Drawers, and drawers, and drawers, and drawers, and drawers, and drawers, with a couple more drawers.

[@CReevesMakes]

When I am having a long day or feeling unmotivated, I watch the Jay Bates Miter Saw Station build. EPIC!

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Way to use your head! Lol Seriously. Great video. The guys are finishing up the repairs on my shop and it's now safe to work in there again. And a miter bench is one of the seriously needed shop pieces I need to make. Thanks for sharing. Also... Never realized how much I might like a kreg foreman till watching this. Makes it go by a lot quicker.

[@marcrespondek2413]

Hi William Keeler, thank´s for your response. It is a great tool. For me is this technic very easy and great. Take care BR regards from berlin/ germany

[@danoive]

I always enjoy watching your videos. Though I wish sketchup videos were posted more often. I actually watched the sketchup videos before I had sketchup and you taught me without even having it. I have it now and I hear your voice in my head "triple click, G for component, enter"

[@frankorona1]

Amazing project, looks great, thanks for sharing.

[@rrr031577]

Love how you make such great use of space. Very cool project as always lol. Great job and thanks.

[@scottvaughan4009]

Nice start - must feel good to finally put something together. The leveling bolt system worked out well. Scott

[@JayBates]

Scott Vaughan Thanks Scott. I've been putting this one off for a while.

[@alexpettigrew8971]

Looks nice. I look forward to how well the dust collection works. I've tried many setups and dust always escapes!

[@owenbinaisse7371]

Looks great Jay, Gunna Have heaps of storage by the looks of it. Are you gunna enclose the miter saw to get the most out of your dust collection, looking forward to the next step towards completion

[@MichiganMaker]

A man with a plan! Nice job.

[@worleyfm]

Jay this was the first video I saw of yours about 6 years ago and it is great. I thought I could do the same to my little garage, but unfortunately I was active duty in the U.S. Marines and received orders from California to North Carolina. So I had to put a hold on it, now I'm retired and think that it's time to make it happen. Thanks 😊

[@JayBates]

Glad to hear that :) and thank you for your service!

[@timhunter452]

I will borrow that adjustable feet idea! A great build, tidy editing as ever. I looking forward to the finished product. Thank you for posting this one I know you were not sure if you would.

[@JayBates]

Orion Yeah everyone talked me into it :) Glad you found some useful stuff. Thanks for watching Orion.

[@HITASCL]

Nice Video. I love the way it all comes together

[@sandrusco71]

can't wait to see it completed, very nice.

[@JayBates]

Stephen Andrusco Thank you Stephen.

[@swrightus1]

Looks great Jay, I'm jealous.

[@beanzie99]

looks awesome man. I got to learn to build cabinets like that. I build all my shop stuff out of 2 by 4s and plywood. super strong but there is a lot of wasted space. can't wait to see the end result.

[@Hubbmade]

I liked the sped up shots with the clock in them. Sometimes I fool myself into thinking you get things done in no time (because the videos are so well edited) but the skill and effort really do take time. Well done!

[@Andys12169]

Jay got a haircut! Nice build Jay, look forward to seeing the finished product.

[@robmazzitelli]

Great start, Jay. And all in 8 minutes! Looking forward to more.

[@JayBates]

Robert Mazzitelli Thanks Robert. Lots more to do on this one.

[@jeffspringer8048]

Looks great. I look forward to seeing how you configure the cabinets for storage.

[@JayBates]

Jeff Springer 100% drawers.

[@indoorherbivore]

Checked out your channel after finding this vid in a sidebar, and only have one word to say: bookmarked!

[@tommydauphin1080]

Nice work all around (project, video editing, ideas). I really look forward to following you through this project.

[@JayBates]

Thomas Dauphin Thank you Thomas. I appreciate it.

[@roldac]

Dude, I'm so jealous. Your shop is awesome.

[@JayBates]

rol dac It's taken a lot of work to build it.

[@Silvermoore]

I'm sad to say I am just now finding this channel, man. But You have a great, practical approach to your projects. Dig it.

[@rickdearmont9950]

Been following the progress on Instagram, but I always love the way you put the build videos together. Great Job Jay!

[@JayBates]

Rick Dearmont Thanks Rick! More progress this week on instagram :)

[@MRrwmac]

Was like watching a silent movie (without the piano playing). That is a lot of plywood but looks like you will need it all for the carcass, drawers and shelves. The pocket hole jig was a big help!

[@JayBates]

MRrwmac The pocket hole machine sure does cut down on time.

[@jbaker4197]

I love this video series for your miter saw station, I'm about to do the exact same thing though it will be much shorter. By the way, I see your little S-10 handles that stack of plywood like a boss, I'm impressed!! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@jacksnyder404]

Looking good so far jay!!!!

[@waynecreech]

Looks good so far! looking forward to the next video..

[@JayBates]

wayne creech Thank you Wayne.

[@mooseberrycreations1408]

Excellent design. Very creative way to use wasted space. Take care, Rik

[@christopherking2999]

Quality goods and you make it look easy.

[@robertsheffey8894]

As of this view: 647 likes out of 934 views. Words are unnecessary. Your work speaks for itself. Very impressive.

[@patricklemarie920]

Haughtiness, you have enough space to work well. I would like to say so much!!! I adore your videos, them give me of new ideas for my projects. In the next one and hello of France

[@SuperYtviewer]

Beautiful work, and I can imagine the finished project. Also thank you for your editing choices. For others this would have been 4-8 parts, running 30-40 minutes each. Thank you so very much for your vision and style.

[@JayBates]

SuperYtviewer Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it.

[@andro7x]

Great job Jay!

[@Wil_Bloodworth]

That was one clean ass jigsaw cut!!! Nice.

[@stevesteves8915]

Nice job with the build and the video! Very slick, as usual.

[@JayBates]

Steve SteveS Thanks Steve.

[@CameronLienhart]

Building your miter saw station....WITH A MITER SAW. mind blown.

[@satch1979]

And I thought I was quick with my little Kreg jig...that one is incredible!

[@SteveSam66]

Jay, looks great

[@azrwilkinson]

Wow Jay...you are like Flash Gordon. Lol great work.

[@EthanDickerDesign]

Great progress so far Jay!

[@tedpuckett2862]

Loved the nuts used to level the cabinets.

[@marknaugle3832]

Thats enormous! I could use something of that size for my shop. Great build!

[@AndreaArzensek]

Handling full size ply sheets on the table saw like a boss!

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

That is creating a huge amount of storage. Good idea!

[@TedAlexander24]

Too busy for words. Looks very impressive.

[@ultimate1933]

This pleases the Luis. I have the same miter saw you have and what I have currently as a miter saw table isn't cutting it. Mine is like April Wilkerson's and my saw being 70 lbs still is a pain moving it around my shop. So making a dedicated spot for it would be better for me.

[@benbrubaker7896]

My favorite part is how you use the table saw to unload the truck. Nice work as always. Dang, that is a lot of pocket holes.

[@JayBates]

Ben Brubaker thanks Ben. The drawers will use more pocket holes I think...

[@Dragonslice29]

First off, love your videos. You're one of the few KZbinrs that got me into woodworking, but is this like part one? Because it looks like your still installing drawers and I'd love to see the rest of the build!

[@Mceldershaw]

Nice work. Gives me something to think about...

[@dsl909]

Love this! I wish I would have documented the several times I have redone my shop...I am on 4.2!

[@SteveCarmichael]

Looking good so far Jay! That's gonna be awesome when you are done! Good call on the t-nuts and bolts for leveling feet.

[@JayBates]

Steve Carmichael Thanks Steve. Tee nuts and bolts are much cheaper than leveling feet.

[@intjonmiller]

Jay Bates I've never seen that. I like it! Wish I had known about it before doing my own a couple weeks ago with contractor shims. :)

[@robertswilder]

Very nice work, I think I am going to build a scaled back version of this soon.

[@petergdk]

Great alternative to the Wotkshop hutch Norm Abram built. Mutch easier to get the cabinet compartments the exact same size when making the cabinets individually, which is a big deal when it's time to make drawers, and install drawer slides. Also the individual cabinets makes it much easier to accommodate for uneven floors.
