the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

Jason: I found you a few weeks ago. I am going to find and watch ALL your videos. You have a great 'entertainment' technique. you turn a dry presentation into a engaging one. That said, I am 65 now, and only had a single-wide converted carport to work in (that I had to share with wifes/daughters 'stuff'. I was always moving 3 things to get access to one tool, then move stuff again to get access to another tool. NO MORE, I am about 75% done building my 'shed', it's 24x48 with 10' ceiling. All 2x6 construction. I'd upload a pic if I could, but don't know how. Anyway, one of the 1st thing I will be doing is implementing many of your 'suggestions'. Thanks and keep up the great work.

@mikeweckesser4450 4 года назад

Amazing ideas all around. Extremely customizable to personal needs, no routing out grooves for tracks makes its very beginner friendly, which I'm a fan of. The 1/8 "gap", and tips of this sort, are exactly why I come here. I would have never thought of that. Thank you

@CookieMonster_1969 4 года назад

I waited till tonight to watch this video because I was working this morning when I looked at my phone and saw the notification. And there is no sense watching your videos without a good old rock of bourbon on the rocks.So now I am sitting here enjoying some Jim Beam on the rocks, entertaining as always, keep it up👍😎.

I happened upon your video and decided to watch. You crack me up. I couldn’t get past the beginning... twice.. without laughing. The third time was a charm. I’m going to subscribe just to watch the comedy show. Thank you.

@andrhamm 4 года назад

This is giving me all kinds of ideas... I’m thinking threaded inserts for the angle iron with some room for adjustability and leaving the ability to temporarily remove the whole thing. Love the bolting method for t-track... the screws always suck in plywood, especially if in a dado groove. No need for epoxy wit bolts either

@juliepiper7058 3 года назад

Yes, love it! I was thinking even If I had The luxury of having a workbench, I would not want the track to be there. Great video though, you are a cuckoo but makes your video more fun to watch!

I couldn’t help but notice that poster of all those pipes behind your miter saw. My favorite pipe style is a Canadian with a little Dunhill Early Morning Pipe for my smoking pleasure. Cheers and thanks for your videos.

@Alphasig336 2 года назад

Great idea. I might suggest adding 3 prong nut with 1/4 bolts anf thumb screw for angle iron allows whole system to be removed if you need work space.

@thomasgross8289 3 года назад

When I build my work tables I always build them 1/2" short and screw a "sacrificial" 1/2" piece of plywood ontop to protect the actual table top. When it gets messed up simply remove it and put a new one on.

@robertlacasse1977 3 года назад

Do the nuts of the stoppers get in the way of measuring for higher boards?

@joeywatch1145 3 года назад

I just adore this. I can't have it, but I adore it. I have one bench that I need for various jobs. Maybe with slotted t-tracks in the countertop so I can slide it forward and back, and a few small dowel holes for quick alignment... then I'll be able to mount multiple tools to the same spot as long as I can adjust their height. I already had to make big adjustable fences for my router and drill press. Maybe I can make it one fence, multiple tools. Not to mention having that one long and flat plane.

Did you find long lengths of the extruded fence or simpy butt pieces together?

@RedcarWW 2 года назад

Listen hear Jason, I had made my mind up that when I build my new miter saw station, I was going to use a bench on one side, and a flip up extender on the other side due to space constratints. Now watching this, I am back to building both sides with a bench. What am I going to do with Delta/Rockwell Jointer that will not fit under the bench. Thanks so much for the conundrum. All that said, I really like this fence system that is brilliantly simple.

@edstengel2495 2 года назад

Your suggestion about moving the aux fence back 1/8" from the miter saw fence seems to make practical sense for the times when you have a bow in the workpiece. However, if the aux fence is not going to touch the workpiece, why have an aux fence in the first place? Are the flip stop and the tape measure the reason you have the aux fence? If you have a bow in the board, an aux fence placed flush with the miter saw fence, would be a quick way to identify the problem, which then could be addressed with the jointer or a track saw prior to cross cutting on the miter saw with an accurate fence. A longer accurate fence would also assist in aligning a long board for an accurate cross cut, rather than relying on the short fence of the miter saw.

@sirjockiii 2 года назад

Same same don’t get it. Why set up up for something that it not right in the first place. If the board is flush the fence is not helping. Is it.

@ffuukkyootoobffuukkyootoob1411 3 года назад

Rather than using only a straightedge, consider using a laser to sight the full length of your fence... that way you don't get any error at all even @ 6' or more from the saw, if your fence is that long. Set the laser on the opposing side so it slides down the entire length of your target fence, with the light visible along the built-in miter fence...

@christobar 3 года назад

So I had done the same thing a couple years ago, but just scrapped the fences and inset t track into the work surface. This frees up a ton of space and also lets you cross cut stock that might be less than straight

Jason I’m mid fifties disabled use a wheelchair and had 2 small strokes which resulted in me losing my short term memory so I can’t remember anything I’ve just started woodworking and still trying to finish the inside of my shed in U.K. would you have any videos on a miter saw station at all. I have some tools not even some basic ones but willing to give it a go. I find your videos very entertaining and found out I can remember bits from your videos as also funny. I would just like to say thank you any improvement is a bonus. But thanks and keep up the fantastic job and videos you do Cheers steve👨🏼‍🦽🇬🇧

@andresfelipemoscosohernand2371 4 года назад

Thanks for the video. The flipping stop is nice. To avoid referencing anything other than my miter saw fence, I embedded t track into the tables on the left and right. Now they also work as assembly tables with a whole grid of t tracks. Just another option in case it fits someone's need out there.

@DavidGunter 8 месяцев назад

Need to make stops & measurements for miter cuts, since you show the whole thing moved out of position. Maybe similar to that 12" block ? -- move T-track a Fixed Distance to let saw fence clear the tilted saw, then make mitered blocks for typical angles. -- Yes ? Good video.

I know this video is old, but I've been looking at those Woodpeckers flip stops and they have two mounting holes for an offset sub-fence or not. Yours is mounted in the wrong hole to make it lay flat against the fence, or you like it slanted. It's hard to tell, but I can tell you that I read the manual and that's why I know this.

Love this video! I will be remaking my miter saw station after the first of the year. Not sure I understand the reasoning for moving the fence back 1/8". Also, Can you share the cost of this without me having to look at all the websites? Thanks! A PM will be good!

@apologetics 3 года назад

Yeah, I agree. I’m no expert, and I could be wrong but if one is referencing the nice long, new additional fence which is set back by 1/8” then the cut will be askew at the blade. If you’re pushing up against the miter saw’s built-in fence to begin with, that 1/8” gap on the additional fence is going to show; and at that point I’d think the additional fence would not be helpful. This is not a criticism. I just want to know the reasoning behind it, since I’m not getting it. Love your work.

@BType13X2 3 года назад

He covered that in the video. Structural lumber you get from the lumberyard or have delivered isn't all perfectly straight. If your fence is flush with the saw fence if the bow starts after the saw's fence it will push against the longer fence and your cut will no longer be perfectly straight. The purpose of his fence is to allow you to set up a jig for rapid cuts all of the same length, and it does that in spades. I made the mistake of building my mitre saw station so that it butts up against my CNC Router table and using it and its perfectly machined square fence for this purpose. Made a bunch of cuts couldn't figure out why some of my cuts were perfectly square and some looked like they were cut at an ever so slight angle. Thought my fence was out of square.. ran a dial indicator mounted on my spindle along the entire 8' machine bed... was out by a maximum of 0.001".... because I machined that fence to my spindle head... The issue I found was all my structural lumber I was using for my deck and garden boxes had bows in it from the yard one way or another and by going flush up against my perfectly square fence I was transfering that bow to my cuts.

@Tensquaremetreworkshop 3 года назад

My question is not how, but why? What is it for? As many have pointed out, it serves no purpose- the fence the saw provides is all you need- it is the only place the material needs to be referenced. Indeed, if the material is not straight (and it often is not) the extended fence can hold the material off the saw fence and you do not get an accurate cut. Save money, ditch the fence. You can still have length stops- they can be attached to the bed.

I cut on the left side much more often then the right so I’d probably leave more room on the left

@Entaran 4 года назад

My shop is (ridiculously) long. My mitre saw ONLY goes left because I'm right handed and I need that hand to operate the saw. Cutting right handed with the wood out to the right is ... well it feels very odd. If you're left handed you might need to have your wood out to the right instead. To the right of my mitre saw is just some roller stands for when I'm cutting 6m (18ft?) long boards and have a lot hanging off the end.
