Miter Saw Bench Miter Saw Bench No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

Cleaned up garage and found that I actually had an open wall and I figured that needed to be remidied. So I dug around and built this bench out of 2×4 and 1/2 in OSB. I couldn’t figure out how to make the drop area so I just built 2 workbenches and then put 2 runners in connecting the 2 benchs. (Don’t tell Barbie but I was off by 1/8 inch and used a piece of her Maple scraps as a shim).

It’s not real pretty but is really functional and Yes Virginia, it’s level across all 3 surfaces.

Good job. I guess I need to go and clean up.

Wow. If I knew I could clean my shop and find another wall not used I’d do it right now…But I know better than that. As a matter of fact I need to clean it up so I can get around in it between all the stuff against the walls.

i like your solution…two benches…this could be a solution for me—-I want to build a miter bench as well…but I was thinking of waiting until i get a new miter saw…since the one i have now is very old and I would like to upgrade at some point…this could be my answer…build two benches and then if I ever get a new saw…wa-lah…

great job…thanks for sharing…

Wish I had room for that. I bet if I cleaned up a little I would have room for it.

Thanks for the post.

I wish I had a wall that long to have a set up like that. Hey, can I have the saw when you upgrade? ;^}
I had something like that long ago. I done a kitchen remodel and they let me have the ole countertop. It worked great till I had a wide board to cut. That darn bullnose on the edge of the countertop really messed things up at times. Great job on yours.

Nice bench looks a lot like the one I built for my shop a few months back. Mine is all one piece though. When it was time to put the top on I used two pieces of wood and hung cleats underneath for the drop down.

Adrian, Bench (or Benches) look great. Man I could have used one of these on my latest project. I have been buildinga new storage area for the garage and everytime I went to cut 6 of the same size pieces I was wishing for a saw station.

This is a nice addition to your shop. I am beginning to like this version better than the one I built, which has extensions for the saw mounted to the bench. This version lets you get more use out of the bench as well as provided support for saw.

Well done.
