This is one of my first projects. I used the plans and story from ””Wood Magazine’s annual storage/shop issue from 2007””:http://woodstore.net/onmist.html. I really like this work station. A few pointers in the what would I do differently section…measure twice, cut once (I think my HS shop teacher said that once), the table the miter saw is on is bearly big enough to fit the saw. The left/right angle adjust just fits the 45 degree marks. In order to propperly square and level an 8 foot surface DO NOT use a 2 foot level. And finally, good enough for government work…is generally not good enough in woodworking.

Very nice station. Isn’t it amazing how we know these rules, yet continually ignore them?
I’m embarrassed to say how much wood I’ve wasted for not following that very same sage advice.

Your right! I should have a long list of things to remeber when working wood pasted to the wall by my work bench

Scotty, I too know those words and have to keep reminding myself of them. The bench turned out good.

Woodworking is like a journey – every step, twist and turn teaches us something new about where we are going as craftsmen. You have learned something from your miter saw station and have in turn, passed on that information to others. That’s what it’s all about. I think the station looks great and as long as it functional :-)).

I think it came out great! Did you consider using one of the many track based measuring and length stop system? Looks like it would work perfectly…

I like that a lot. Wish I had a spare wall.

Hey Scotty! Nice job. I bet it’s great to have that kind of room.

Scotty: That is a really nice chop saw station! Makes me think it’s time for me to redo mine…

Nice. Your set up is far ahead of me since all of my work stations are set up for portability and storage during fowl weather.

Once you have the set-up the rest will come naturally, I got a feeling that station is in for the long haul. Blkcherry
