I agree. The varnished wood looks great! And it’s reclaimed plywood! I really like the honesty in your work. It’s genuine. Thanks very much for all your hard work.
Better off spending some time in getting the adjustments for level etc etc right at the start, once done, it's done for good. Is a good looking station....now to episode 2 😃😃😃😃 Cheers from Aus!!!!
I was struggling to envisage what you meant regarding the drawer runners but your dramatic reconstruction really helped! Thanks for that. Coming on great mate. When I made my portable bench, cart, mitre station thingy, one thing I didn't mention in the vids is the couple of hours (or more!) spent trying to true everything. Feel your pain there bud.
Hi Keith, a couple of comments if I may. Small hardwood blocks either side of the T-Nuts would give them a more secure fixing. Also, locknuts on the adjusters will stop them creeping downwards through vibration. Yes, they have rubber bases to reduce this, but when the rubber hardens with age, they will not be as grippy.
Keith, as always a great video which shows warts 'n' all. It takes a certain kind of person who shows their mistakes and that can save the rest of us some hard earned cash. The quality of your vids just get better and better. Great stuff!
Lol glad to see someone else being screwed by their tendency towards symmetry. Happened to me a few times when putting screws in the same spot and then having trouble when putting it together. Also, best to take 2 hours to get it spot on now instead of getting annoyed every time you use the table in future.
Hey man I just wanted to say thank you for your videos you inspired me to make my own UA-cam videos I am about to hit 100 subscribers thanks for what you do and I love the new shop!
Once again, nicely done Keith 😁👍. Looking forward to the finished product. Interested in the dust collection performance... my setup is rubbish 🙁. Love the SKA, keep up the awesomeness 😁👍.
Looking great so far. Glad this came out 2day as ive just started to make a mobile station for my sliding saw. Smaller than yours as my workshop is way smaller. My video will be up when i finish it.
Do you think the feet that you used would be strong enough if you'd built cabinets with storage rather than housing for your floor machinery? I've seen other styles of adjustable feet but I like the ones you have used due to the low profile and 'in-built' install. thanks
Keith I think I have a set of large drawer runners like the ones you used but longer , I will have a look tomorrow but as I’m in between workshops at the moment it will take time but I know they are about somewhere , they are to long for me to use , when I find them I will measure them and let you know the size and if you can use them you can have them
He's gotta go through his analytics and then gotta make sure there are no keywords that prevent the UA-cam algorithm from suggesting his videos. I mean a simple thing like having the word "rag", "bone", or "brown" could be keywords that make his videos less ad friendly. Rag = poor, bone = death, brown = racist? Hell if I know. The algorithm is stupid.
Love your no-nonsense approach to what you build and that you use what’s available. Any reason you don’t use T nuts under the top sheet to hold the saw down? Also, that magic vacuum sure cleans out the sawdust couldn’t see any when you were done :-)
Hi Keith really like the station, very practical! Quick unrelated question, I noticed you have a piece of tape over the blade access on your plunge saw and I was wondering if you've noticed any real improvement in the dust collection by doing it?
Keith, I like the way you are using the space to store your thicknesser and belt sander. However, a question for you, do they get higher, stooping down that low would kill my back, (I am 6'2" though)
I built the mitre saw station very tall so that the machines underneath are still at a good operational height - explained in the video. I don't remember the exact dimensions though...
Thanks for the video. I like the passive drawer, but the vid seemed very incomplete. There’s much more to what you finished with which you don’t talk about... is there a second part?
That is really quite interesting and nicely presented. Ingenious method of aligning the units. Just as a matter of interest; how tall are the units either side of the mitre saw please? They look quite high to me but of course it is an individual preference.
I like that you use reclaimed wood in most of your projects. How did you come up with the design? Did you study how other mitre stations works or did you make it after your own preferences?
Hi Keith Great videos BTW Quick question if you'd be so kind How did you get along with Sketch-up when you first started using it. I'm trying it for the first time for some cabinets and it's proving difficult. Did you just follow youtube or learn sketch-up in a different manner?
Love it. Will you let us know how the passive dust collection works when you have used it for a while. Ive just got my first mitre saw and will need to build something like this so your plans will be a great asset .
I don't know if I mentioned in the video but the saw will be hooked up to a dust extractor too... The passive thing is just there to pick up the excess so it's our of sight and out of mind 😁 so far it's working well, it's been a couple of weeks since I put it in now
@@RagnBoneBrown you did mention it would be hooked up. The mitre saw I have just sprays aaw dust in all directions so even with extraction so was hoping this would help. It looks super.
That's weird. I just suggested someone on the FB group follow you. Make up the rest of the drawer with a canvas bag or something. Put runners attached to the front of the bag on the inside of the drawer so when you open it the gap at the back is filled.
@@nathanaelmawson6652 A track saw literally runs in a track, so the cut is super straight. Circular saw is freehand, although you can make a guide for your circular saw that will let you make long straight cuts.
Nice project, Why did you use those feet to level your project? Just make a ladder frame, level this up on the floor and mount your cabs on that. Job done. This is the way we used to install a kitchen in old property where the floor was not level. Regards, Bill.
Since cutting hours at my day job to three days a week I get to spend another three days a week in the workshop/editing videos 👍 it's trickier at the moment though as we're doing home refurbishments too!
Instead of fiddling for almost two hours to get the height right, I would have done it the other way around. So on the top measure the right and correct distance, screw that in place. Than it's just a matter of dropping the feet until they hit the floor. Anyway, nice build as always. Jealous of the amount of space you have.
Absolute bummer with the feet positions, when you think you have everything planned out... [If you're like me, you thought, "well there's the 'cock-up' outta the way"] Redeemed with the wedge idea for adjusting. Don't think you spent to long levelling; three units, one garage floor and an absolute need to have the top perfectly level - needs time and you did well - I could feel the relief when you screwed those units, finally, together, PHEW! I still have to lug my saw out onto the patio and screw it down to my workmate every time, so, I hate you! Great job, well done.
Keith, I am enjoying your videos as usual however I cannot help but notice a distinct lack of chicken and mushroom pot noodle appearances. I would appreciate if you could remedy this in future videos. Yours sincerely, 'Concerned' of Essex.
Why do people insist on using impact drivers on such small screws as drawer runners ? Self centre bit, hand screw the little screw in place. Overkill to say the least mate.
I don't need a self-centre bit to find centre, never bought one for that reason. And any decent impact driver has power settings to allow screws to be driven either softly or aggressively depending on the application
Brilliant vacuuming 'dramatic reconstruction'- best special effects award!
The sound effects were priceless
Looking great. The dramatic recreation was very helpful
😂 cheers Matt
I think o speak for everyone when I say, more dramatic recreations please
LOVED the dramatic reconstruction! Felt like I was actually there!
His impression of a vacuum was spot on ;)
I agree. The varnished wood looks great! And it’s reclaimed plywood! I really like the honesty in your work. It’s genuine. Thanks very much for all your hard work.
The new shop is coming along great.
Great miter stand

Cheers from Aus!!!!
a realy inspirating vidéo - Clever way of make a Miter saw station. I m on the way to make my own and it realy helps ! Thanks
Wow. Dramatic reconstruction...and sound effects🤣
Absolutely genius tip with the wedge of wood. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing 👍😀
It's coming right along Keith. I look forward to the next installment.
I rewatched that dramatic re-enactment about 10 times. Loved it. 😂🤣😂🤣😂. Great build. Well done.
Great job Kieth, I especially like the dust collection drawer
Great job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video Keith, love the look and space of your new workshop. It opens so many new opportunities for new exiting projects👍
nice project and work as always. congrats Keith
There are lots of great ideas going on in this video. Fantastic work. Looking forward to the next. Thank you!
It looks fantastic! I can’t wait till you give us a tour of your workshops 💚💚💚💚

Great work on the miter saw station Keith! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP
Kieth, why not put an angled board in the back of the drawer, to direct the sawdust towards the front of the drawer for clean-out?
I'll replace the runners eventually 👍
Tried this with my table saw bench, even at 45* the sawdust sticks and backs up. You have to go in with a brush or vac. A hack will have to be found.
Nice! I am quite interested how the dust drawer will function!
You’ve done a lovely job there Keith it must be great having the extra space! Loving the vids!
Great job
Great job so far Keith, can't wait for the next one, have a nice day Mate !!!.
Really cool
Fantastic. Congratulations.
Where can I get the invisible hoover?
Sounded good....
Great Ideas, now I have to do a bit of a rebuild
I like it with the grewn color 👌
Hey man I just wanted to say thank you for your videos you inspired me to make my own UA-cam videos I am about to hit 100 subscribers thanks for what you do and I love the new shop!

That draw dust catch is a bloody brilliant idea, mate. 👍🏽
How's that dramatic clearing out the draw reenactment... 🤣🤣🤣
Terrific build mate, love how this is coming together 🍻👍
Good to see the mistake so others can avoid the same issue
Hurray for the wedge of wood !
I think James Dyson might be willing to sponsor you. :)

You did, it'll be covered in part 2 including a shout out to you! 😁

I'm quite surprised at the finished look of marine plywood too. Looking forward to the next video
We use it on boats quite regularly (obviously...) and clients are always surprised by it. But then again, it's not exactly cheap stuff.
@@hokipokist I believe it is expensive, maybe one day I'll find a nice project that I can use it on.
Love your no-nonsense approach to what you build and that you use what’s available. Any reason you don’t use T nuts under the top sheet to hold the saw down? Also, that magic vacuum sure cleans out the sawdust couldn’t see any when you were done :-)
Hello! How is the cutting accuracy and corner play of this saw? You are happy?
Nice station. What are the dimensions for the left side cabinet where the stop block is mounted?
Hi Keith really like the station, very practical!
Quick unrelated question, I noticed you have a piece of tape over the blade access on your plunge saw and I was wondering if you've noticed any real improvement in the dust collection by doing it?
It just helps stop dust coming out the hole 👍
Hi mate, just rewatched this. It’s a great project. How high did you make the cabinets?
Keith, I like the way you are using the space to store your thicknesser and belt sander. However, a question for you, do they get higher, stooping down that low would kill my back, (I am 6'2" though)
I built the mitre saw station very tall so that the machines underneath are still at a good operational height - explained in the video. I don't remember the exact dimensions though...
Nice job. Bought the plans off etsy so I have them when I get enough space for a mitre saw station... One can dream!!
Thank you so much 👍
You might want to get a small laser level. It makes leveling out cabinets a breeze.
It's not the kind of work I do frequently, so I can get by without one 👍
Thanks for the video. I like the passive drawer, but the vid seemed very incomplete. There’s much more to what you finished with which you don’t talk about... is there a second part?
Yes there is a second part

Thanks! It's my second mitre station build so I learned a lot from the first build about how I wanted it now
Dramatic reconstruction made me properly laugh😁
Here in the US, marine grade ply is usually okume mahogany. I wonder if that's what you have. Regardless, a luxurious looking worktop! 😎👍
Pretty sure it is
Great video. I think I'm going to build a miter station soon. I really like the background music at 2:42. Can you tell me who that was? Thanks!
All Gone Wrong by The Specials 👍
What varnish did you use? Looks great!
See the finished section of the my tools section in description box 👍
Hi Keith
Great videos BTW
Quick question if you'd be so kind
How did you get along with Sketch-up when you first started using it. I'm trying it for the first time for some cabinets and it's proving difficult. Did you just follow youtube or learn sketch-up in a different manner?
Zzzzzzzzz. Hands down best hoover impression ever 😂
What is the working height of your chop saw station
Love it. Will you let us know how the passive dust collection works when you have used it for a while. Ive just got my first mitre saw and will need to build something like this so your plans will be a great asset .

Yeah I was wondering how many comments you going to get on your dramatic vacuuming reconstruction. ..lol
Looking forward to the second part mate.
Pretty cool for reclaimed plywood!
As for the green panels, Hmm, same colour green as your backdrop for voiceovers?
That's weird. I just suggested someone on the FB group follow you. Make up the rest of the drawer with a canvas bag or something. Put runners attached to the front of the bag on the inside of the drawer so when you open it the gap at the back is filled.
you could put the homemade play button in the background
Ok, I just realised that I live near you LOL just wondering where the reclamation yard is as I didn't know we had one of those? Thanks
Would I be able to survive with just a circular saw or just a track saw for all my soring jobs? If so which one should I get?
If you are limited for space, a track saw can do a lot of things that a table saw can.
@@dangermartin69 yeah I am. But what is the real difference between a circular saw and a track saw?
@@nathanaelmawson6652 A track saw literally runs in a track, so the cut is super straight. Circular saw is freehand, although you can make a guide for your circular saw that will let you make long straight cuts.
@@dangermartin69 so what would u go for out of the too if u wanted 1 to do everything
@@nathanaelmawson6652 If you have the money, buy a track saw.
Nice project,

Just make a ladder frame, level this up on the floor and mount your cabs on that. Job done.
This is the way we used to install a kitchen in old property where the floor was not level.

Because I need to be able to wheel my machines under the mitre station
@@RagnBoneBrown Ah, now I understand.
Nice video's always enjoy watching them.

Did you have a link for the feet?

How do you find the time to do all that you do?
Since cutting hours at my day job to three days a week I get to spend another three days a week in the workshop/editing videos 👍 it's trickier at the moment though as we're doing home refurbishments too!
Would a solid wood cleat be strong enough for a drawer that size? 12mm ply is pretty heavy alresdy
Btw saw the 'BUM'. 😂
Instead of fiddling for almost two hours to get the height right, I would have done it the other way around. So on the top measure the right and correct distance, screw that in place. Than it's just a matter of dropping the feet until they hit the floor.
Anyway, nice build as always. Jealous of the amount of space you have.
Is that an inspection pit in your workshop?
Yes: ua-cam.com/video/sL_5RQhRNgQ/v-deo.html

p.s. I think you must have blown the SFX budget on that 'reconstruction' but well worth it for the drama :)
Marine ply ought to look good - it's bloody expensive...!
I've never actually bought it yet 😂 but now I want to find some to make teak looking furniture with 👍
I think it's up there with Baltic Birch... Best aye.PS putting the roof on my own workshop next week - mitre saw station, etc, planned too.
Would love to see some pics 👍
First view and first comment! 😃
Why there is a wooden boards on the ground?

How long is the mitre station?
Hi Lluis it's about 3.4m end to end
Rag 'n' Bone Brown would you recomend leaving space on the sides of it?
@@LluisTheWoodWorker handy if you want to cut long lengths
Did you get angry when you had to rip your feet off?:)
It wasn't too bad really only took a few mins 😁
You spent too much money on the dramatic reconstruction and not enough on the drawer slides :)
