Started yesterday with some left over 3/4 red oak plywood. Only thing that stopped us from finishing yesterday was we needed the back piece. So with a couple of minor alterations to your plans we got it complete today and 100% fully functional. We have a 12" Dewalt miter saw, so its heavy. We added 2x4 supports along the edges of the saw tray. Still not sure how but one fold out tray no mater what I did, it swings out about 3/16s low at the meeting point once we started setting up plum. Still have a few extras we plan on putting on it but was using it this after noon. Thanks for the easy to understand plans.

@hhanger1 5 лет назад

I purchased the plans and built it this past weekend. Instead of the cut off box I built two drawers on full extension slides. I wasn't comfortable relying solely on the pocket screws to hold the weight of the saw so I also used 3 dowels on each side to lend extra support. I need to finish up the drawer fronts this week to wrap it up. I had to make mine about 5 inches wider to accommodate my 12" compound slider. I like it and now have two more drawers to fill up with tools!

@jeffwilder7117 7 месяцев назад

Nice stand! I like it! I did notice some racking as you moved it around. As an old cabinet maker I can say, if you put a 1/4” piece of plywood on the back it would make the carcass much stronger without too much weight. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

@mach51 4 года назад

Great video and project. I have watched this video probably 20 times and set out to make my own this week and finished it up tonight. My only issue that I am having is getting the miter saw EXACTLY even with the outfeed wings. How precise does this have to be? I'm close, very close but not exact. If I was to error on this side I would want the table just a tick higher than the wings right? I think I "messed up" with my newness to using piano hinges. Thanks.

@chuckstonex1632 Год назад

I am planning my miters stand. Initially I bought a 30" sink base as a starter. What are the demotions of your cabinet? Nice job. So much classier than another video I tried to watch. I was not exactly what she was trying to offer. I thought it might of been her.

@imacessnaflyer 4 года назад

First let me say that you have great videos and plans. You do a fantastic job of showing your design/build process along with fails and successes. I decided to tackle the miter saw stand project. I made a big Newbie mistake and assumed that miter saw widths and depths were kind of standard. I bought the plans, followed them and the video, and built the stand. I even adjusted the top shelf height from 3 1/2" to 3 3/4" to match my deck height. I unboxed my new Bosch 12" saw and went to install it on the cart … only to find out that it's footprint is way larger than the opening on top of the stand. Had there been more references given to the saw measurements than just the deck height adjustment, I might not had to buy two more sheets of plywood and rebuild. Please keep up the videos, plans, and projects!

@dickbjork8852 2 года назад

Wow. Building mine for a DeWalt 12" mitre saw. Just bought the plywood today for $135 from Home Depot. Your reply was helpful as I will measure the larger saw and make sure to match my materials to fit the saw.

@kennethrand4877 4 года назад

April, Been looking to build a mitre stand and get rid of the metal pipe stand. Your design is the one I'm going with. At 73 I'm still learning. I really enjoy your channel.

@mogisanjaya2645 4 года назад

I just bought my very first miter saw yesterday. Yes it's a sliding miter saw with 10" Saw blade. I feel really blessed after watching your video, since I already make my own miter saw station drawing and doesn't even notice about the sliding and the miter angle problem. Now my homework is to Remeasuring, redrawing just to make sure there is no problem will be happening tomorrow on the build process. Thank you so much.

@TripleGAutoDetailing 3 года назад

Nice build. You need to get yourself some VIX bits. They are designed for drilling hinges so your hole is in the center. 👍 They come in different sizes.

@markb.1259 5 лет назад

If I saw correctly, looks like you beat me to me suggesting putting a back panel on the back to keep the unit from racking laterally. The first stand racked quite a bit as you were moving it. Adding a back panel would sure fix that. Excellent project April! Thanks!

@joelegrand5903 5 лет назад

I worked with a pro fessional cabinet/Furniture maker & he had a slide mitersaw, with a stand like your, with a blade shelf, but no place to store scrap cut offs. I like yours better, again great detail.

@760raduran 3 года назад

Built my stand with your plans. Workedwell. Got a little mixed up on how to attach the wings to the stand but figured it out by watching your video, 3:43 (a couple of times). Thanks again.

@lewienewsom3833 5 лет назад

April. Me and my dad built one of these for my shop form your plans. It is one of the most used tools in my shop. We even added some 1x2 to the wings for a longer fence. Thanks for sharing. It is also the first thing me and my dad built together since I was a kid. I wanted to add a photo but I can't seem to figure out how. Thanks again.

@nonya5475 3 года назад

Charming. Ty. Been thinking of making a stand. I wonder what could be used to sort of snap the wings to the body when they are closed.

@tylerbhumphries 4 года назад

This looks incredible. I stumbled upon this video while looking for a mobile display cart for market displays. I’m not good at building things but I have a few uncles and cousins who are. I’m going to show this to them and see how much they’ll charge me to build it for me. Thanks for sharing.

@harrydoherty8299 Год назад

wider wheel base adds to stability as i’ve seen in other designs . i like the wings being held up in your design. locking hinges just don’t make the grade . slope down

@markkernen322 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for showing me how to support the wings without buying expensive support hinges. Great idea.

@AprilWilkerson 8 месяцев назад

Awesome! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.

@LandtoHouse 5 лет назад

Great build. When the wings are down does material sit level with the saw platform? Looks like the wings might stick up some?

@nattodatto 4 года назад

I made mine this weekend, with a few steps to tidy up. On my one, the stop for the supporting arm makes the top bit stick out to the side because I used a fairly wide offcut. I'm planning to cut out a gap in the supporting arm so that the top sits flush with the supporting arm when it's down.

@veritasestveritas8646 5 лет назад

Nice work! It looks like a take on the Woodsmith Shop plans, but with a wider wings. I kinda like the wider wings on yours. The great thing about these is you can go to town with features such as rails, clamps, stops, etc., or keep it simple. I saw one recently where the person who built it actually built wings that doubled as storage boxes. It's really only limited by one's creativity, and you definitely have that in spades. I've been designing one that uses stock unfinished red oak kitchen cabinet boxes. Thanks for sharing and inspiring us all.

@jbratt 5 лет назад

On the casters, I would through bolt with maybe a fender washer and/or plywood backer. I built an almost identical miter stand and had the screws pull out on one of the casters. Fender washers to the rescue. thanks for the video.

@wdbland0820 5 лет назад

Great build!!! Bottom mount bearing slides for the drawer would be great.

@awesomearizona-dino 5 лет назад

Loved to original design, this is nice improvement.Thanks April (one of my RU-vid heros). i notice bottom holds the sides via screws only, no plywood support, IF it loosens over time, maybe a cleat would help, all in all, a very clean design.

@peterdejoseph5197 2 года назад

On my design and build I put a back stop with a tape measure on both sides and installed 2 t-tracks where I made stops for repeat cuts. my design is basically all the ones I saw built on You-tube. I wish I made a video of the build. BTW love the size of your shop.

@garyhaglund8275 3 года назад

Nice basic design. Built a copy, have pocket screw capability, I am old school (40 years) cut dado,s and added back rails with t-rail for cut off blocks

@adamwhite1936 4 года назад

I built mine last week. I failed to measure the width of my Sliding Miter Saw, so I ended up making some mods to avoid cutting new shelves for the whole thing. Still haven't made the drawer for the bottom cause I might use that space another way. Thanks for all of your great videos. You make it look so easy.

@1slipery42 2 года назад

impressive, trying to think of an appropriate way to support wings when cutting 8-10" 2x6/8's . Have you run in to this yet ?

@eliasluckie4055 Год назад

Hello, you are very creative and intelligent, I congratulate you. You made a piece of furniture very well adapted to the miter saw, it made your work easier!

@AprilWilkerson Год назад

Thank you very much!

@jeffoldham3466 4 года назад

looks good,,,,and you explained it very well,,may i ask what is type of bandsaw you have

@tashapalmer4519 3 года назад

Thank you. Just bought the plans. Will build this once I finish my lathe stand 😊

@DavidSL64 3 года назад

Nice. What about adding a back to give it a little rigidity? Looks like it can flex a little side to side.

@GoKaioken 5 лет назад

Been watching for years. Since the tiny space to this large shop. So happy to see you have stayed true to who you are. Always excellent instructions / voice-over's to what you are doing. Hard work paying off.

@AprilWilkerson 5 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback and for staying around through the years. Glad you enjoy the channel. Cheers!

@JESchnake 5 лет назад

I like to be able to take my saw to my work outside too. So I baught a Rigid universal stand for my Ridgid sliding compound miter saw. It has 12inch wheels for ruff uneven ground. But your miter stand is a good solution for a shop use stand April. Great video too.

@chaelisaenthusiast1219 5 лет назад

I love your channel so much and as a beginner female woodworker you are such an inspiration and make me so happy, so thank you.

@johnheyden7277 5 лет назад

A quick bit of constructive criticism...i would have made my bottom shelf (where casters are connected), larger so that the side pieces rested on top of it instead of attached to the side of the piece of plywood giving you more support for the weight on the flat part of the plywood. Keep up the good work....

@ronwhite6719 5 лет назад

Very true, support through cross pieces of wood rather than nails/screws. Fasteners are more like place holders. Nice portable stand.

@liviuc1946 5 лет назад

Also the wings could have rested on the sides of the cabinet, not just on the small strips with the hinge.

@RueFondary 5 лет назад

While at it, I would also have added -at least a partial- back piece to prevent lateral motion while using the saw and moving it around...

@garylee4141 5 лет назад

I thought the same

@vendetta989 5 лет назад

I love it when people Monday Morning Quarterback :)

@armandom8507 3 года назад

Good morning. I have to rebuild or upgrade my sanding station. Any suggestions. It’s for small projects, so maybe 2-3 medium size sanders. 😊

@rla1000 4 года назад

Nice build. Went searching for an idea hoping to find one like yours as I will be commencing a little remodel project, with long trim boards, so wanted a portable stand for a soon-to-be-delivered new miter saw (everything in my shop is also on wheels, even my scrap bins), but I'll be temporarily locating this in a bedroom, so also needed to be light enough to carry up a couple flights of stairs.

@SDMPoahway 4 года назад

I hope I can build one after I build my workshop. I really like the space it saves.

@clickster1883 4 года назад

This is freaking awesome! One quick thought: would it be slightly more convenient to mount the piano hinges for the wing supports at the back of the cabinet’s sides so that the wing supports can be deployed from the front of the saw stand?

@manifest8800 2 года назад

Very cool build, I’ve been looking at dyi miter stations and this one fits the bill perfectly thanks

@AprilWilkerson 2 года назад

Glad you like it!

@timlist4173 3 года назад

Nice project and well done. Added this to the list of shop projects. Currently, my saw is stored on a shelf and is put on foldable scaffolding when needed. A royal pain if I might say.

@paulcoumas 5 лет назад

Hi April, you used a dewalt nailer in the video but it’s not on your list of tools used. Can you let me know what one you use and if you rate it as I’m looking at getting a couple. Thanks

@KimosKreations 5 месяцев назад

Thank you April, I always learn great things from you. I appreciate your style, it really helps a weekend woodworker like me.

@AprilWilkerson 5 месяцев назад

@terryalbracht7516 3 года назад

Good morning, what size casters are you using with unit? The ink is not working for me. I bought a set of plans and looking forward to the cabinet’s completion. Thanks for your time. Terry

@futureme7d954 2 года назад

question: love the video, Do you have a table saw cart build video? I may have to modify this build for the table saw.. thanks so much

@timcaine1380 5 лет назад

great job!!!! although with a shop that size a built in place mitre station along one wall would be an awesome addition to an already awesome shop.

@dannyh.7490 2 года назад

Nice simple design, but it really needs a back to make it stable, so it doesn't wobble, and it will also keep the pocket screws from vibrating out over time.

@chrisnordstrom6652 4 года назад

I love the idea. I have a fairly small shop and there is severe competition for workbench space. Using your design I can pull the miter saw away from the wall and use the wings to support long pieces. I made mine a little beefier 'cause I will beat it up. Thanks for the video.

@HuntsWorkshop 2 года назад

I wish I’d seen this before spending $450 on a portacube which is very subpar. I’m going to build this to replace it today! Thank you!

@James....... 5 лет назад

Great stand! I built mine based off your original design years ago and I use it all the time. I put three drawers in the center and use it for small tool and fastener storage.

@vincediesel307 4 года назад

How in the world can 246 people not like this video? She would be an asset to any woodworking shop or project.

@BetterBiomedChannel 4 года назад

Excellent! I'm going to build this tomorrow -to also house my shopvac!

@jbrrozo2283 3 года назад

Very nice. You should patent your mitre table.

@igotsnipedintheface4279 Год назад

I love this!! Do you have a video for the same king of thing except for a table saw?

@zuble1 3 года назад

Hi April- Do you prefer the Armor pocket hole jig or the more popular Kreg and why? I am in the market and would love your input.

@goodgoat3096 5 лет назад

I could see this easily built stand being the most popular build especially among us that have limited space. Excellent!

@An_Urban_monk 5 лет назад

I agree. But I'm curious with a shop as massive as yours why you (April) feel you still need a portable, wing-based mitre stand? The beauty of such a shop is that you can have a dedicated mitre saw station complete with adjustable stop blocks and built in tape measure not prone to wandering. A Master Carpenter friend of mine has just such a station. Now that I have the blessing of being able to afford a custom shop build I planned on having a dedicated, stationary mitre station. Pray, tell your logic for the mobility factor. If the reason is just to create content for the small/temporary shop folks that’s cool too, but it seems like a “real shop” necessitates permanent workstations and deliberate world flow without setup and tear down. That was the bane of my existence in my previous two car garage “shop.” Which never saw a parked car in the past 15 years.

@mrfaw7530 4 года назад

Hello April thqtbis an awesome design beautiful and practical I will also build the same if you don't mind? Moreover could I ask the make of the bandsaw you used in this very video?

@johnmorris5686 4 года назад

Looking like a great project. Just finished all the cutting and just like you, I bored the pocket hole in the wrong side of the shelf. :) Fortunately mine was the base.

@peterlisyak5396 5 лет назад

I have held onto this video for some time, have just bought the plans and will be building very soon. Thanks April, I think this will be just the ticket for our needs.

@richwielechowski5191 5 лет назад

Take a look at Woodpeckers self centering drill bits to drill pilot holes for hinge screws.

@barryd.thomassr.9156 5 лет назад

Built mine using A kitchen Base Cabinet, Added the out tables and the hinged Support wings, on casters moves easy and works well

@KingMinhvuong 5 лет назад

Nice video. Thank for sharing!

@blasty290 5 лет назад

I bought the plans for this stand a while back and they were easy to follow. The stand turned out perfect and I use it all of the time.Really convenient being able to roll it around the shop, and I've added casters to most of my other saws and stands because it works so well.

@sgsax 5 лет назад

Building mobile carts for my bigger tools is in my near future. Definitely taking notes here. Thanks for sharing!

@dennischalland5248 5 лет назад

just completed the first one you did and by far my favorite. I moved the scrap bin to the middle shelf and was able to use the bottom for more storage that is always in great demand. Thanks for the update. My next project is going to be your assembly table/work bench.

@donwhitehead4587 5 лет назад

April, I love your rolling sliding mitre saw stand. I’ve seen other RU-vidrs make them, but yours makes the most sense and is very practical. I’m making it

@northernbrent6334 4 года назад

Don Whitehead did you make it?

@BobOdle 4 года назад

April. Thank you so much for all you do for us “wannabe wood workers.” I have used several of your plans, watched tons of your videos, and improved my shop and my skills at the same time. You are the best. Thanks!

@rojohawaii Год назад

Aloha April or anyone. Working this project. Downloaded your plans. Question. What is the large angle cut for the two wing support pieces? 45 degrees? Big thanks.

@crankbait09 4 года назад

I noticed you have videos where you show using an Armor Tool Pocket hole jig, as well as a Kreg jig Pocket hole jig. Do you find one better than the other?

@BlackDogWoodwork 5 лет назад

Nice build April. I built one of these and didnt like the casters myself. Then went all out on a stand alone miter station. I guess it's all about what works for you, in each individual's shop. I alwase enjoy your videos. Keep em coming. Thanks.

@DanD2395 5 лет назад

I've been thinking about a similar plan for a while now. This video helped clear up some of plan ideas. I was thinking of putting a back on for additional side to side structural support and because I have a very small shop space I was actually thinking of putting the miter saw on a plywood tray that can be pulled out and possibly swapped with a small table saw (also on a tray) just at a lower level so the work surfaces are the same height. then adding a flip up back support for use as an out feed table. This gives me lots of ideas. Thanks for the video!

@JusBidniss 5 лет назад

Excellent build! Does the new cart allow for the full 45 degree position? I thought that problem could have been solved by just moving the saw further back, but I appreciate the video. Oh, and one tip for making the scrap box slide easier, is to iron on some melamine edge tape, on the bottom left/right edges of the box, and matching pieces inside the cabinet bottom, like runners. Some wax on those surfaces, and it'll slide like it was on ball bearings.

@bryansmith5980 3 года назад

being portable, You should use a small shop vac on bottom shelf for dust collection on the go? and made toss bin seperate?

@SDMPoahway 5 лет назад

I really like the smallness of this table. Can’t wait to try this.

@shopart1488 5 лет назад

Very Nice, we own a large cabinet shop and have six miter saws. This would be a nice addition, sometimes there just not where you want them your’s would fit our shop very nicely. 👍 thank you!!

@ronwood3214 3 года назад

Very nice do you have plans for it or maybe just the dimensions? Also any information on that table top with the holes and nice clamps ? Nice work.

@michaelfessenden1146 4 года назад

I like it! Wish I’d seen yours before I built mine, but I searched mobile mitre saw tables and got you. I was looking for a good way to add wings to mine and I love your way of doing it!

@TheOneWhoMightBe 5 лет назад

A very practical solution for a small shop. Although I'll stick to my Paulk Mitre Station (but that's not on wheels which makes moving it single-handedly a bit of a pain).

@natashas5259 4 года назад

With the wings folded down how much does the fold down shelf stick up above the side of the stand? You know how it’s now flush with the top when folded down. I bought the plans and just need to know the difference before I make it so it it will fit flush next to a permanent workbench in my garage.

@brianlasch144 5 лет назад

its not a bad solution to the problem, I noticed both the new one and the old one racked quite a bit as you opened the scrap bin. Have you thought about adding a couple of stretchers on your shelves to stop that from happening? I'd be worried over time that the racking would lead to the pocket screws to work their way loose.Also do you use paste wax on the drawer to make it slide easier?

@OU81TWO 5 лет назад

7:25 look in the back when she pulls out the drawer.

@peggyraun-linde6336 3 года назад

Great build. Do the wings hold the weight well with thicker lumber? Have you discovered a weight limit?

@guyjones4936 5 лет назад

I had been wondering if you were going to make a new stand for the new miter saw. I guess I can stop wondering now. Does the stand rack side to side much without a back panel? Just wondering...

@thomaszaccone3960 5 лет назад

Nice job. Wonder if you could mount a permanent back fence on each wing. Probably. Making everything mobile makes sense.

@lewisfranz1 5 лет назад

I have always loved your channel. I have been following your videos now for nearly 4 years and I think that you are one of the very best DIY home build vlogers to watch. I appreciate that you build things that are useful to you and your explanations are simple and very easy to follow. Thank you so much for what you do.

@AprilWilkerson 5 лет назад

Aw, thanks! I'm glad you're still along for the ride and are enjoying my Channel. Cheers!

@TheFriesennerz 4 года назад

I have been researching this problem for a few weeks and finally found the one I will build. Any thoughts on adding dust collection and and measuring/ setting stops?

@Alfetta158 4 года назад

Take a look at the actual plan: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/miter-saw-station/ it has measuring tape and stops. Dust collection is usually part of the saw.

@TheFriesennerz 4 года назад

@jordansyoutube 3 года назад

I have the same saw and I’m so glad I watched this first didn’t account for the swivel of the saw in my planning.

@joejkd82 5 лет назад

Think I'd add a quick face frame to the back to take the wobble out. Maybe add verticals to the wings as an extension fence for clamping stop blocks

@kitanisthe 4 года назад

You inspire me to try to do different things.. and your descriptions just simply get a idea on what to do without making judgments on how you make it.

@matejselak7546 5 лет назад

You should make a cutting station for your plywood, something like they have at big box stores to make more manageable pieces. Have a large surface with steep angle that collapses flat against the wall when not in use, maybe also keep it close to where you keep your sheets to save time move them everywhere.

@donaldduke2233 4 года назад

Best miter saw stand I've seen. I love your work.

How do like your Triton track saw? I was considering, but see the low reviews on Amazon.

@brianbettermann8417 5 лет назад

This is a great idea, we are getting a new place so I will have a nice shop. A mobile miter saw table would work great in the shop.

@ty9334 4 года назад

I came here from the channel fix this build that, and I am glad I did. I have yet to start any projects but watching this video and soon more of your videos have me inspired to build stuff and one day making my own projects.

@fredroussel6795 3 года назад

I looked at many of them and yours is simple, sturdy and makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your video.

@joaodelima8292 4 года назад

very good the way you put the wing fit in the small place i will copy your idea thanks to share with us

@rotorhawg8052 5 лет назад

Great job. Observation: At 3:18 you mention "just to measure from a flat surface to the deck of our saw for shelf placement". But your "wings" in the up position add whatever width the plywood is. So wouldn't the piece you are cutting be sitting that much higher than your deck? At 7:34 the picture shows your deck being level with the wing and not the side of the box/stand. I suppose you could mount the wings so that in the up position they would be level with the side of the box/stand?

@williambriggs5463 4 года назад

i enjoyed your project very much, you made it seem reasonable made me want to try to build something ! liked how you dressed and presented your self. Keep up the good work!
