I just purchased your sanding disk and used it immediately upon arrival. The embossed area on the disc is a very intuitive way for lining up the sandpaper...a thoughtful touch. I have a small shop out of the garage and do not have a jointer. This performed beautifully on my contractor Dewalt table saw. This is a game changer for me. I am currently making my first ever cabinets and cabinet doors. While everything has been reasonably square in the past, this brings it to a whole new level. I just wanted to let you know that you have a amazing product for a fair price. Thanks a ton.
Your workshop would be FUN to just sit in, read the paper, and have coffee! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!!!You are one smart and talented guy! Thanks for sharing!!
You know it’s going to be a good weekend when the boardroom drops a video on Friday! I’ve been looking forward to this video.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the free entertainment, hope you know it’s greatly appreciated.
It's nice to see care put into shop furniture. A large part of the work experience is the environment, so having furniture that not only looks good but functions well is essential to enjoying that work experience.
You are the funniest!!!! I wonder how many people watch you videos and miss the humor you pepper into every sentence. Please keep it up. “K-bobs, toilet track, 12 inch dado stack… such wit.
I will be moving into a new shop soon and the dust collector ideas will serve me well. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and continue to stay safe.
Too funny. While watching I was going to say that looks a lot like the miter bench norm built. Great to see you give props to him at the end. Will most likely be building something very similar as I’d love to incorporate a radial arm that I just got. Thanks for what you do!
I love your stuff Mike. I expecially enjoy your narration and sense of humor - as well as the fact you have real experience and ideas that make sense to me. So many UA-cam woodworking videos seem contrived or just put out to have something for people to click on. You always make me think about cool ways to go about shop ideas.
Nice job, Mike. I built a similar dust collection set up for my small garage hobby shop. 2hp Jet unit exhausting into a plenum with a Wynn filter. Works pretty well. Thanks for another great video.
Mike you’re low key the goat. Beautiful build and it’s insane your video editing skills are on par with your woodworking. You said it wasn’t perfect. I would love to know what you would have done differently or isn’t perfect because only your level of experience could call out what could be improved. Seriously tho, thanks for making videos. Aspirational isn’t the word I’d use because it would be crazy yo get on your level king 👑
Thank you. There are a few little things. I would have made a better shroud around the chop saw. That one I reused from my last chop saw. I also don't like the dead space benching the in feeds. I need to come up with something to store there.
I made a dado story pole based on anotber guys video. One side with shims and one side without. All combos. It was early in my woodworking and I effed up once and had to start over. That was a lot of blade changes..
Very nice project! May have to do something similar in my new shop building. Just as an aside, Tulip Poplar/Yellow Poplar (a member of the magnolia family) is a different species/family than cottonwood and true-poplar/aspen. The former is used heavily in the furniture industry, especially in the east where it grows prolifically. Great material and very reasonable cost as you mention.
@@MikeFarrington Yea, that's very true and it can even sometimes be whacky within a geographic region. That said, Yellow/Tulip Poplar is truly "worthy" and a pleasure to work with.
Man I wish I could reply with a picture… I just installed that vanity I was talking to you about like a month ago. It turned out amazing. I made the case and drawer fronts out of sapele and the top out of African mahogany. Sprayed it all with a moisture resistant lacquer from Sherwin Williams. It turned out amazing!!! Now I wait for the next one… how has business been for you? Is it getting tougher to get people to sign on the dotted line? Or are you booked for years on end? 😆
Great job Mike, I can tell that you like building shop fixtures and jigs as much as the woodworking you do. I share that same passion, usually I like the challenge of the jigs over the project.
One day when I win the lottery I intend to have a similar shop to this. Beautiful. I may even make my tooth brushing station similar with some granite tops.
Helpful, useful, humorous and no vomit. Great video and love your delivery. I'm setting up a new space for myself and this video helped resolve a bunch of issues that have been bouncing around in my head. I mean who doesn't like holes for handles lol! Thanks Mike!
Awesome job bud , I’m an English carpenter and joiner of 35yrs and love radial arm saws , they are so versatile we even had a smaller Dewalt one back when they were green and orange that we took on site . Really like your set up though
Thank you Mike for introducing me to the "Gamma Seal". Watched this video within an hour of you posting it. Used your Amazon link (immediately) and ordered a bucket & seal, and now have rid myself of the dreaded clear bag & strap clamp. My application was much different than yours (Laguna dust collector) but I engineered a way for my purpose and I am grateful for the info. I will no longer be wishing for additional limbs to accomplish this task.
Wow. Great work and project, but really great content without hype and clickbait-ism. I find most other woodworking UA-camr videos, well, vomitous to use a word from your library. Your sense of humor adds just the right touch to top it off. Well done sir, we’ll done. I’ve subscribed!
Frank Makes built a DC backstop on his radial arm saw, he wound up using horizontal slots built from laminations of 1/4 inch ply. bigger openings worked batter than holes. Love your narration and thanks for blurring the beer gut. :)
Green Grass and High Tides is my anthem. I reside near the coast in Texas and love fishing in saltwater. I also am a golf course superintendent that grows grass for a living. Check out Atlanta Rhythm Section’s “Champagne Jam” if you’d like another great southern rock driving album. The Ballad of Lois Malone…just great,great music.
We are not supposed to 'envy' others, but every time I watch you use your sliding tablesaw, it creates massive amounts of envy in me. Very nice project that surely beats my miter saw on a rolling stand that gets rolled out of my garage and onto the driveway for cuts....because outside is my dust control process. 🙂
I got a Friday off work and a Farrington video to watch. It's going to be great weekend! I've been inspired to step out into my shop and build some shop drawers. Thanks, and great video as always!
No better feeling than vindication for years of hoarding up spare pieces that “could be useful someday”! I have a couple shop projects that have justified me in the past.
I don't remember you coming over to my shop. I Frankensteined my dust collector upside down and backwards just like yours... But I used quick connect norfab. But jokes a side glad to see that you are getting the micros under control.
Well done, young man! Too many people I've encountered over the years don't understand why anyone would put so much effort into something like this. I both understand and applaud your efforts!
@3:40 LOL. That's not bad. It came out of left field and that's what makes it funny. And the care you put into shop furniture that no one will ever see just goes to show your attention to detail and mastery of your craft.
As usual, just amazing. I could only wish my work shop could fit one in. My workshop (for my business) could probably only just fit your car in... if it was empty. One must keep dreaming though.
Poplar is an excellent paint grade wood. Perfect to for interior moldings as you mentioned. The colors of the boards can be a mix of light green with tan and areas of gray. It works easy like cherry and can be found in many areas. The cabinet shops around my area always keep it on hand in place of pine. I prefer it over pine as it does not have the pitch that pine does.
While watching you do all your work, you made me think of Norm Abrams of the New Yankee Workshop. I loved watching him build things. Exquisite work. 😊😊😊
Wow! An Omga for 75 bucks!! Nice score!!!!! Probably the most accurate chop saw out there, to bad it weighs as much as a tank. Nice on using up some old stuff that never seems to get used, I have piles of similar items.
This video just came across my feed since I have been looking at building a miter saw station. Holy crap your shop is amazing!! Yeah ... shop envy is a thing. Thanks for sharing this.
Both helpful and entertaining. Thank you for sharing. I have a recently remodelled modest workshop in my double garage and have made similar stop blocks for my mitre station. I am in awe of your work and shop 🌞
Outstanding presentation! You solved the chop saw dust collection puzzle so brilliantly. Kudos. I built Norm's version of the bench almost 20 years ago but could never get adequate dust collection figured out for my 12 inch sliding double compound saw. Still have the saw and am building new bench in smaller shop. You have given me some good ideas for a intermediate dust collector that runs independent of my ClearVue dust collector. Nothing shortens the life of a 5hp motor then constantly turning it on and off. Those Wynn filters are awesome. I've still my two original filters with my ClearVue and other than back blowing them annually, they might last for ever.
I just purchased your sanding disk and used it immediately upon arrival. The embossed area on the disc is a very intuitive way for lining up the sandpaper...a thoughtful touch.

That is really great to hear. Thank you for the feedback.
Right?! Every time I use it years later I'm still shaking my head at how great it is. Saves me so much time I can't believe it.
Your workshop would be FUN to just sit in, read the paper, and have coffee! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!!!You are one smart and talented guy! Thanks for sharing!!
Sometimes I do just that.
An almost exact replica of my tooth brushing station at home. Come up with your own ideas, Mike!!!
Giggled at this way more than I probably should have. Thank you! :D
😂😂😂
😂🤣
Screw you both. Literally a carbon copy of my shoe repair bench. Next thing you know you'll also be showing off your 8 pack abs...
Ha! Sorry...
So many clever ideas in this one. Instructive, entertaining, AND non-vomitous!
Thank you.
Green grass and high tides forever is one of my all time favorites. Awesome guitars
Thank you. Agreed.
You know it’s going to be a good weekend when the boardroom drops a video on Friday! I’ve been looking forward to this video.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and the free entertainment, hope you know it’s greatly appreciated.

If you ever get low on fans you've got me. Love living vicariously through you. You are,"Wood Man".
Ha! Thank you.
I will be moving into a new shop soon and the dust collector ideas will serve me well. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and continue to stay safe.
Thank you! You too!
Open UA-cam and see a new trip to the boardroom. Always a great day
Thank you.

So loved the shout out to the New Yankee Workshop at the end. Great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice job, Mike. I built a similar dust collection set up for my small garage hobby shop. 2hp Jet unit exhausting into a plenum with a Wynn filter. Works pretty well. Thanks for another great video.

Your videos make my shop a more organized and safer work place. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Mike you’re low key the goat. Beautiful build and it’s insane your video editing skills are on par with your woodworking.

@@MikeFarrington really appreciate the responses Mike!
I am jealous at the cleanness emptiness largness and tool kickassness in your shop.
Thank you.
That dado stack gauge is brilliant.
I made a dado story pole based on anotber guys video. One side with shims and one side without. All combos. It was early in my woodworking and I effed up once and had to start over. That was a lot of blade changes..
Thank you. That is a helpful tip.
Love the dance when seeing things in place for the first time. Thanks for sharing your project!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I watched this for the miter station but I really like your dust collection system - I think I will adapt it to my shop!
Thank you.
You sense of humor gets me every time. Nice work!
Awesome, thank you!
Very nice project! May have to do something similar in my new shop building.

Thank you. The funniest part of the wood industry is how street terms overlap the scientific name in no logical way.
@@MikeFarrington Yea, that's very true and it can even sometimes be whacky within a geographic region. That said, Yellow/Tulip Poplar is truly "worthy" and a pleasure to work with.
Dude the level of precision and attention to detail for shop cabinets is CRAZY!!! This is why you are the best!!
Wow, thanks!
Man I wish I could reply with a picture… I just installed that vanity I was talking to you about like a month ago. It turned out amazing.

Never clicked so fast in my life!
Thank you.
Really smart solution for short pieces with the T track and the filter quick change is genius. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you very much.
The Brian Fantana reference during the nail gun misfire tip earned a subscriber
Ha! Thank you. Great movie.
Great job Mike, I can tell that you like building shop fixtures and jigs as much as the woodworking you do. I share that same passion, usually I like the challenge of the jigs over the project.
Thank you.
That Radial arm saw scares me. Awesome work and especially love the dust collection.
Thanks 👍
Thanks, Mike, for another stellar project loaded with more of your trademark "Pro Tips". You truly are 'a cut above'. Cheers from Toronto.
Thank you.
Man, I was just thinking, I haven't seen a Mike Farrington video in a while, and like two hours later, BAM here it is.
Wee!
Loved the level of detail you put into these videos along with your dry sense of humor! Keep it up!!
Thanks a ton!
Fun seeing that side of the shop all done up.
Thank you. Its a nice addition.
Making dust collection appear neat and tidy is near mission impossible. But somehow you pulled it off. Nice job!!!
Thank you.
Nice video. Glad to see you kept the radial arm saw. See some new toys in that shop, gratz.
Thanks 👍
@@MikeFarrington Great dust collection system too, nice getting that up off the floor.
I'm not sure what's better. The actual video or your witty repartee. Keep the great work, I always look forward to new content.
Thank you.
Nice chop saw station and dust collection
Thanks a lot
One day when I win the lottery I intend to have a similar shop to this. Beautiful. I may even make my tooth brushing station similar with some granite tops.

You are the man, ha. This video is gnarly - so many things in this. Idk how I got here, but it makes me want to work wood all day
Thank you.
I have waited 1210 days for this.
Your on the way out time-line is very similar to mine.
Thank you as always.
Move to North Texas!
Slow and steady, even if that means 4 years. Ha! I would love to more to North Texas, but its too hot.
Just when I thought I found the best Woodworking people on UA-cam, this guy comes along. Just what I needed! Great stuff and an instant subscriber.
Welcome aboard!
Awesome job bud , I’m an English carpenter and joiner of 35yrs and love radial arm saws , they are so versatile we even had a smaller Dewalt one back when they were green and orange that we took on site . Really like your set up though
Thanks 👍
Cutting the gamma seal bucket was pure genius!
Thank you. That is a neat trick.
Wow, what an excellent result. Just shows what a bit of planning will do. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, you know a cabinet maker when you see one. So clean and surgical it's scary.
Thank you very much.
Love the build and the Minnie driver reference was quite subtle and sophisticated, keep them jokes coming!
Thank you.
You make the best shop furniture.
Thank you.
Great video... I'd have to watch this several dozen times to absorb all the information in it!
Wow, thanks!
Great video thanks for this. I don't know why but I have the impulse to re watch this when I get home with a cup of warm coco and my slippers 😂👍
Ha! Thank you.

I have seen Frank's fence. I think it is a better design in every way but one, it would be much harder to replace than mine.
You really have a good Frank Horwarth impresion going with your narration style
Or maybe he is impersonating me?

It works easy like cherry and can be found in many areas. The cabinet shops around my area always keep it on hand in place of pine. I prefer it over pine as it does not have the pitch that pine does.
Poplar grows fast, is medium density, and is fucking ugly. Perfect for paint and cottage/country shit.
Good info, thank you.
While watching you do all your work, you made me think of Norm Abrams of the New Yankee Workshop. I loved watching him build things. Exquisite work. 😊😊😊
Wow, thank you! It's a pleasure to be mentioned in the same sentence as Norm.
Looks fantastic! Great radial arm saw. Nice shop! Lots of room.
You deserve it. I built for decades .
It's worth having a decent set up! 👌
Thanks 👍
Poplar is the perfect wood for face frames and such that will be painted. It sands very smooth making for a clean finish.
I totally agree.
Wow! An Omga for 75 bucks!! Nice score!!!!! Probably the most accurate chop saw out there, to bad it weighs as much as a tank. Nice on using up some old stuff that never seems to get used, I have piles of similar items.
Thank you. Its s a heavy saw, designed to be built into a bench.
I have trouble remembering you're a woodworker. I just listen for the music suggestions. Keep Rockin' Amigo!
Rock on!
Very nice,I’m envious about the Omga chop saw. Absolutely top of the food chain.
Thank you. Its a nice saw for sure.
Love the commentary you and Cam from Blacktail Studios need to do a podcast. I'm sure it would be brilliant.
That would be cool!
Exceptional quality construction
Thank you.

Thank you very much.
Awesome video! Always appreciate you taking the time to record voice over narration to pair with your excellent video footage!

You've ruined me! I will forever refer to a T track as a toilet track.
thanks for so much good vibes and knowledge. Love your work!
Haha.
Watching your vid on miter saw station,love your 1" bucket hack!!!!!!
Thank you very much.
This is great! I wish I had half the shop you have. Mine is an 8x12 portable building. You sound like the DJ for the classical music station here.
Wow, thanks!
Love the Good Will Hunting reference - awesome movie!

Man this bench build is it!!!!
Thank you.
Literally the best Miter Saw Station on the internet since New Yankee Workshop S14E01!

Thank you.
Awesome work that Norm would approve of!
Thank you very much.
Very clever mate, I like how you make things work, no such thing as can't be done, stand aside and watch me ! Greetings from Australia !
Thank you very much!
Gold star workshop holy crap!
Thank you.
watching you work is like watching an artist paint Mike. Love your stuff. Also helps youre a little funny ;)
Thank you very much.
So many little tips in this video. I really liked this one!
Glad you liked it!
As is the "Norm" nice. Looks great
Ha! Thank you.
Nice work. I have a mitre saw station based on Jay Bates' design. You've given me some ideas on how to improve it.
Glad I could help!
I'm done clutching my pearls! Awesome video with lots of great instruction.
Glad it was helpful!
