$30 DIY Portable Miter Saw Station - From one sheet of plywood
Water source and stores in three pieces. I already have salt horses. If you build some J bait style, sawhorse out of just some two by fours, it will cost you $ 40 to make this stand instead of the $ 30 it cost me here is the base to the dewalt miter saw stand , sits there. The miter saw sits on this table right here. It has a wood base permanently attached to it. The two extension arms just bungy in place right there and I will sit on top because I haven't built a place for that to sit yet stand breaks apart into three pieces, so it's easy to store and transport. It'S made out one piece of plywood: it's easy to set up as long as you don't have help. 
So once you get the base set up on soft horses or a table or whatever the next part, is to get the extension wings put in after the extension wings slide into place, they are just held in under friction and leverage. I didn't want there to be any mechanical fasteners holding this into place to slow me down. I do need to wax them, so they slide in and out a little bit easier. This all just sets into place and it's a nice snug fit, but it's not hard to get in and out once I get in, and I just slide it until it's far enough back to give me a nice firm, crosscut base and here's the sand stand completely. 
Assembled sometimes I may have to move the soft horses out a little bit to get the arms sold level, but I've got a few tweaks in mind for future versions of this to make that better the sturdiest stand in the world, but I recognize it doesn't need To hold me up, the biggest thing I cut is a 2 by 12, so it does have a little bit of bounce to it, but that is fine. It'S actually more sturdy than my old rolling miter stand was so 430, but I think that's better than what I had it stores in a much more our footprint in the trailer holds. The news saw great and secure. I can come all the way out with the saw it's still locked down right now and I can push all the way down on the saw so and push all the way down and the saw doesn't tip over, which is good. My crashing was a little bit more front heavy, I guess, and it would tip over, but this one has enough weight in the back that it won't tip over. One issue I have is, with the sixty degree bevel when I'm coming over sixty degrees. I can't lock it down, but that's not really a problem. 
I don't need sixty degrees a lot, but when I do, I can just slide this off forward a few inches and do that 60 degree cut and lock it down. Have a little overhang actually meant to be on the front yourself so I'll sit on. But then I can use to plant wine what stops locks if I need to, I didn't, need a base running all the way across the fence. If I need along support vents, I will attach its temporary fence right here that comes out about four feet. That way it's accurate to saw, and that way I don't have to worry about getting these perfectly lined up every time like if this is kicked over a little bit one way or the other no big deal. I think that's enough for this video I'm happy to find out. 
I think this design can be refined and you could really really do something really cool with it. Yeah for 30 bucks, I like it, I'm the new rigid miter saw stand. Miter saw review will be up shortly. I am gon na put it through the paces for about a month of pretty much everyday use before I do a review on it. I'M not this. I'Ve had it one week now and so far I'm happy. There are a few little quirks of a saw like any tool, but stick around for that and once that video is up, I will link to it.

Milwaukee Folding Miter Saw Stand Review
Milwaukee'S got a new Foley miter saw stand, but this is more than just another me to product. I'M Kenny Kaler and you're watching pro tool reviews [ Music ], so you got the miter saw, but it doesn't come with a stand now before you decide which one to get first figure out what you need. Many pros move toward wheeled stands to make transportation simpler, but what about options like the Milwaukee folding miter saw stand. There are no wheels and it's not as sexy as the round steel tubes, you find on those gravity rise designs. Those steel tubes also tend to provide plenty of rigid stability to match. The ease of use. 
Milwaukee'S looks a little more like a glorified sawhorse, but as if Lee Corso himself we're here to say it not so fast. My friend, the simple appearance gives way to a pretty clever design that some pros are going to love I'll. Tell you why one of the first things you're gon na realize when you look at the Milwaukee folding miter saw stand. Is that you're not supposed to carry it with the saw attached? Trust me, we tried it just for the sake of the argument. It does not end well. The saw mounts on two clamps with a couple of helpful key design features. 
The first is that you can lay out just the supports without having them attached to the stand that makes adjusting them to the saw much easier. Second, the brackets don't require nut, just the bolts and washers, so it's not quite as awkward to tighten down now. Here'S a tip when you install the supports make sure that the long end is toward the back of the saw. So you can properly line up. The hitachi miter saw stand to the support wings. Once you have the clamps installed on your saw, just lift the assembly onto the stand, use the handle triggers to open the locking mechanisms, pull the saw forward until the back slips into place, and then let the front end drop down and release the triggers. Now you can also buy additional stand. 
Clamps if you use more than one miter saw, simply install the set on each one say: the m18 fuel 10 inch for the big jobs and then the m18 fuel seven and a quarter inch for trim or punch this work. Then, just take this all you need to the job site with the stand without worrying about having to buy a second stand. So the entire purpose of this design is to make a system that moves to and from the job site as separate parts. Instead of one rolling piece of equipment and each of the legs locks independently, when the stand is folded up to unlock them, just press the trigger on each one as you pull it out, it's not as quick as a gravity right stand, but it is a simple Easy process, when you fold the stand back up, the legs will slide back over locks on their own grab, hold of the handle and you're off to the races. Now, 
support wings come out to both the left and right to give you up to a hundred inches of reach. The thumb screw locks them in place and the wings slide easily in the screw locks them securely, but that metal-on-metal connection with the screw will likely leave some blemishes. Pretty quick. Of course, it is a job site tool. Are you really that worried about some surface scratches and the top of each wing support? Has a pivoting stop, so you can make multiple cuts of the same length without remeasuring every single time if the material is longer than the support just swing a stop down and out of the way clamping system is pretty versatile. 
That includes the link between the mounting points, both forward back and left right, you'll be hard-pressed to find a miter saw that won't fit on this stand. There are a couple of extras you can buy to go with the span and both are pretty helpful. First up is the shoulder, strap it clips to the point on the far left and right of the frame best way to users to run the strap over your head. So that comes across your chest and then swing the stand parallel to the ground we had to. Let it up pretty far to get this right in that position, though it's fairly easy to move around the jobsite, especially when you have to take it up. The stairs the side table is a must-have for me, I'm still a pencil and notebook kind of guy, and I like having both next to me at all times during the project and notebook is where I keep my measurements. Yes, I have a smartphone. I'Ve also gone through enough of them to really not want to have it on something that takes electricity and a glass screen in order to access. 
So the side table is a big win with this recessed area that you can use to keep your pencil from rolling away on you. You can also have it holding smaller hand, tools and fasteners. If you need, there is a point of maybe we should rethink that, though, being both metal and black means at this table gets really hot, really fast. Here in Central Florida, we might actually be able to cook breakfast on it during a summer. There are pros from all areas of the construction industry who might find a set up like this advantageous, but the real winner is the solo contractor. Unless you've got a trailer that you can roll your miter saw in and out of separating the saw on the stand makes a lot of sense. It takes two trips, but your back is going to thank you in the long run. Of course, if you've got someone else working with you, you can enjoy the support of the shoulder strap and they can carry the heavy saw, or vice versa, if you're a nice guy. This design is also a huge benefit if you're, taking your saw up the stairs on a new construction or a remodel. 
So despite its sawhorse esque, look there's enough weight in the aluminum structure here to be stable and there's an adjustable leg. To give you some leveling help, so don't let that dissuade you from this model. Now, let's talk price, the stand on its own is $ 199. The strap is $ 14.99 and the tables know that $ 24.99, so you're in for about 240 bucks for the whole shebang, you can get a rolling gravity. Rice stand it's in this price range. So it's not a matter of picking the cheaper option. It'S really about whether you need to carry your saw and you stand separately as preference. 
That said, other premium stands similar to this designer right in the ballpark, so you're not paying a premium just for the Milwaukee name. What Milwaukee is bringing to the table is several pounds of weight loss without sacrificing quality and stability to get it plus you get access to an optional, strap and table to make it more versatile, hey you know, for more videos like this, be sure to subscribe to Our YouTube channel don't forget to hit us up on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to keep up with the latest. I'M Kenny Kaelin thanks for watching [, Music ] - oh not yet, but hey. It sounded great and I felt good what I'll see you here for come on. I'M growling, I am Groot. I should just do that portion and call it

Ryobi QuickSTAND Miter Saw Stand
What'S going on folks they're doing a little quick review of the Rio be quick stand, Universal miter saw stand, here's a perfect example. If you're into tools are, you know, looking for goodbyes, so to speak or specialize or deals. I'Ve had this - probably oh, my god hi since May, but this is a leftover from Christmas. So one of these tool, companies sometimes put special items out for the holiday season that they don't usually put out during you know, the regular season or Home Depot might not carry them in store during the regular season, but only in holiday season, but anyway, this is A perfect example: now this is a miter saw stand, I think online. It is $ 99, 
I'm pretty sure not totally sure, but I was looking online and it was very weird they had. The same exact miter saw miter saw stand with two different ID numbers on it, but one was $ 29 and one was $ 99. So, of course I was like wow. That'S an awesome deal for a miter saw stand, so I called you know, even look for the check for stores see if it's available in certain stores in her area, and it was one store that had it so I went there. You know, I said: hey distorted. Just the apps, the app or online said you had one of these left. 
They couldn't find it. It did say that they had one left, but they had no idea where to locate it. It must have been up on a up above you know the aisles there. Any way no one could find that was there for, like 45 minutes, stay checked everywhere, that they kind of could look no go anyway. Two days later, I get a phone call from Home Depot hey. We found your quick stand now before he left. I obviously left my name and number just in case they kind of found it, but they did and I pretty much got this awesome stand for 29 bucks. So just you know sometimes, if you're looking for something particular like a miter, saw, stand, go on Home Depot and see what special buys that they have, because, especially around Christmas time shortly after they want to get rid of a lot of this stuff. 
And I just happened to stumble upon this so pretty good deal. I only wasted three minutes telling the story, but anyway, over some of the specs real quick fits most miter saws of 12 inches 300-pound holding capacity quick release mounting brackets pretty much a nice compact miter saw stand once I put it together, I'm probably going to keep It together because it folds up real nice. According to some of the pictures that were online, I usually never use miter saw stands. I usually either use my my jaw, the oh, my god I can take in the name of it. My jaw horse there. It is from Rockwell to hold my miter saw with my 12-inch. I couldn't do it, though it just wasn't strong enough to do it, but with you know, especially with this rigid one or with the new evolution which you're going to be seeing a video on shortly. 
My new evolution ryobi miter saw stand this should be fine and I kind of for the price I'm just like. You know what we're going to use this, but anyway, let's get it out, get it assembled and we'll take a quick look at it. So here it is setup. Unbelievably simple, literally comes out of the box. Ready to go only thing you really got to do is just hook these up everything's in a bag that you need right here, these screw on tabs. You just stick them in you load this on slide it through the hole, and then you slide this bracket through this hole. Tighten these up these legs fold right into the stand. 
All you do is press a presses button and they fold up these two fold. This way, these two fold this way real, simple, clean, its $ 99. I recommend it at that price. Cuz, you're, really not going to find any of these. My I mean, I think the wall makes one that's like a hundred ninety-nine bucks and it's really not any different than this one. But you know that's up to you. It might hold more weight, but I think right I'll be really nailed. This one I mean, and for 29 bucks I mean it's a huge steal for me anyway, but um. 
Look for some of these deals. They'Re around especially like I said after Christmas is over you'll find a lot more of them, but um real nice miter saw its miter saw. Miter saw stand just it's going to be a real nice addition just going to load it up, I'm going to play fold. It up put it right underneath my workbench and when I need it, pull it out and rock and roll so any comments or questions. Let me know again: I'm going to have the evolution. Miter saw hooked up to this and you'll see in some videos here and air, I'm sure, but uh great great product at Ryobi offers and, like I said, even at $ 99. It'S definitely something to consider it is the ryobi are m/s 100, all right les. That'S a G, that's not so 100, so it is right here by OB RM s, 1o g miter saw stands all right, and this is what you're going to hook. Your miter saw right here to these great mounting brackets right here, like I said everything's in a bag, pretty simple, so any comments or questions. Let me know, and I will catch you on the next one.

Harbor Freight Mobile Miter Saw Stand Review
Hey guys welcome back to popo's Woodworks, something I don't normally do is reviews on items, but I bought something recently because I got tired of sitting. My miter saw on top of my workbench having to move it back and forth back and forth. Every time I want to cut loose, I actually broke down and bought a miter saw stand. The reason I bought it is. I was at my local Harbor Freight and they had one of them tent sales and they had this stand on sale for $ 99. I figured for ninety four hundred bucks. I mean it can't beat it so bad, so I bought the stand and believe it or not. 
I'M very impressed with the stand, and I'm going to show you here in just a second everything that it does, but it's very stout, it's heavy, but everything that this stand does for a hundred bucks versus the competitors. That is wailing up there in price. I figured I'd take the time to share it with y'all and I'm not getting paid for this review, I'm not getting any contributions whatsoever. This is just my personal opinion on something as I bought at Harbor Freight that actually turned out to be pretty good. So let me get the stand out. You have to excuse my garage just hanging from this right now got scrap wood everywhere in my daughter's toys, but anyway this is the box that it came in and that's the stand through this outdoors.
If you can get dinner, see it, but it is the heavy duty mobile Best Miter Saw Stand so I've got it set up over here, hey y'all with me, and this is pretty much how I leave it now, because I leave my saw attached to it because I'm Not ever gon na take it off, I don't which I don't really need to, but it works just like a hand dolly you can tilt it back on the wheels and roll it wherever you want to throw it in the bed of the truck, but when it's All folded up like that, it really doesn't take up a whole lot of space in the shop, so I'll go ahead and extend the legs and show you everything that it does so. 
Basically, from this point, it's got these little push pins right here you push them in they'll, lock into place. Like I said, the stand is kind of heavy, so what I'll do is I'll set it down? Get it like this go to the other side, and then I pick it up get that one walked in and then you saw it's ready to be utilized all right. One of the cool features is this thing has is right here: you've got two red knobs, you can click that raise up the yellow handle and, on the other side, click the other one, as you can see when you do that it unlocks it from these tubes. So if you needed to take your table saw off or if you want to doesn't do it just for storage there it is. 
I mean you can literally come off, it's pretty easy, but then, when you're ready to use the sole you tilt it backwards, then push it forward. Click that handle down to tech clicks get the elbow to clicks, and now the sole is not going anywhere. It'S really locked in into place. Another feature it has. Is you can loosen these side knobs right like this one, and it will let that roller go up and down to the desired height of your material that you're cutting. It also has this plate that you can set stuff on. It, helps hold it on a plate edge rolling around. If you want to let the wood roll pretty easy, so you can loosen this knob and it will actually extend to right there. I'Ve been pretty sure, that's off camera over to the other end, so that's up loosen. It will give you a total of 16 feet, see if I can't get this on camera. 
It gives you a total of 16 feet of material length to cut that way. If you got to cut the long boards, it will and also remember, if you have a real long board, you can take and loosen these, and you can actually move the sole all the way up to this handle and it would give you an extra foot and A half, if need be, all right, something else, I'm not really sure if it was designed for this, but I use it for this, but I'll move this in depending on the height of my board. I'Ll remain, is up or down, but I'll. Take this piece here and I'll slide it in or out. However, I need it, but if I'm going to start from doing a project, that's got a lot of repeat cuts, I'll miss it from the saw blade to this plate this plate. Right here, like I said, it goes up and down and gets out of your way so I'll flip to this side and I'll actually run my wood up. Once I get my dimensions, I'll run my wood up and put it up against there and use it as a stop block and, like I said, if you're cutting 1520 pieces of the exact same length, would that really comes in handy? 
And if you don't really like using this part, then you can loosen this knob put this out of the way and then you can but your wood up against the upright right here, because I've done that too, because it's more of a flatter edge. So if I was to cut that only if I just said, I'm not sure what the length is, but if I had to cut 15 of these, then all I have to do once I cut it. It'S sliding on 2x4 down to the touches and cut it again and then keep on moving to save some time and when you're done with assault for the day. This end you see here, has these two kick outs or whatever you want to call them. Anyhow, you don't want to leave this all the way at the bottom. 
What I do is I actually bring it up flush here and I'll turn, this screw knob, and I like it in there when you want to make sure all you your twist. Knobs are locked up, so you get to moving it nothing loose on you, but actually what this is is this kind of like if you want to take it like a dolly or hand truck here's your wheels when you stand this up on end, this is actually What stands out to keep it upright so when I'm ready to break it down, like I said it's got these little push button things so I'll get the weight up off of them and I'll push them in it'll click. Then I'll do the other one and I set it down on this side has got a handle, so I will just go ahead and stand this straight up. All those two uh propped out feet get this where you can see there all right now. 
What I was talking about is you: have these little push pins? I don't know if I can do it holding the camera, but it comes down and then it locks right into place. Forgive my camera skills, you getting the point so right here you push it in it clicks and it locks in place. Now I'll set you back down now when you're ready to go or if you need to do a job, all them on the site, you tipped it back. You can hold this handle that comes with it and you can roll that thing wherever you want to go and actually push it pretty easy. So that's it for this review. 
I really like it like. I said: 100 bucks. You almost can't go wrong. I think it's well built - and I forgot to mention to if you happen, to be on unlevel ground right here on this leg - see if I can't get just come back out right here on this leg: it's a screw knob, so you can actually adjust this in Or out and then fixing it one leg and make it work out where it's level, but all in all for Harbor Freight. I know some people have different opinions about them that stand right. There is a lifesaver for me and I really have enjoyed it and I figured I would share it with you, alright guys so pretty much, that's it and, like I said I apologize for the terrible, terrible camera skills but yeah. 
It is what it is. I'M not a professional photographer anyhow, so I looked on YouTube before I bought that and I couldn't find any of the other videos on. I think it was one where the guy bought the miter saw, stand and miter sold together, but it just starting putting it together. So I figured I'd try to help some people out there. They might be thinking about buying one and show you all the features that it actually does. Do it's not that bad to put together, but everybody that buys things from Harbor Freight. 
You ought to know that the directions are absolutely insane and they they're just you - might as well just take the directions and throw them in the trash and look at the picture on the box when you go to assembling things. So it's pretty easy, though, but anyhow that's my review on the Harbor Freight miter saw Stan. I have really enjoyed it and, like I said earlier in the video, I'm not getting compensated for anything for saying that I just wanted to throw my opinion out there on something I bought that I actually did like and, like I always say, y'all have a good Day and thank you for watching like and subscribe,

How to Build a Miter Saw Stand
Hi, I'm John from our home from scratch and in this video I'm going to show you how to make a miter saw span, hey everybody. This is the project we're going to be building today. This is the miter saw stand I just finished making for my saw. So this particular saw that you're going to see me build is designed at least dimensioned around this particular Dewalt. This is a 10-inch sliding compound miter saw from the wall, and so, if you have, this particular saw right. But if you have a different saw, that's no problem! You can still follow the same basic approach that you'll see in this video, and I will have a link to a page in my site where you can get access to a ms excel file. That'Ll, basically be a calculator, so what you can do is you can put in the dimensions of your saw. You just take a couple different measurements and it will spit out a unique parts list for your saw. So we're going to start this build with the large pieces now. 
This is just made from a one four by eight sheet of birch plywood and a two by four piece of birch plywood to the two foot by four foot. So alright, let's get started alright. So to get started, what we're going to do is take our two biggest pieces, and these are going to be the front in the back of the miter saw stand reviews , stand and there's actually going to be a pocket right in here. A little box that the miter saw will sit in and that way the outer side, the outer and inner feeds of the table will be flush with the work surface of the miter saw. So I started by clamping the internetter together. So when I make this cut, I only have to make it once it'll save time. It'Ll make sure they're both cut to the exact same dimensions and they're nice, and even so, to make this cut. The first thing going to do is I'm going to plunge a circular saw cut along this line, cut along along here and then I'll finish. 
Those cuts with a handsaw, alright. So we're about to make our first cut and before we get started, I'm going to make sure I have some hearing protection and eye protection as well. What I'm going to be doing is taking my circular saw pulling back the blade guard a little bit and then I'm going to rest it against a piece of straight edge, so the straight edge is lined up with to offset the blade of the circular saw. So it runs along the cut line, so that way, I don't have to worry about holding it steady as long as it's lighted up against this straight edge will be fine, and now the straightedge is just a piece of scrap board and I've tacked it down.
In two places, with a brad nail gun just to hold it there, they can also use clamps if you want, but I didn't really have the room so and I have to make sure the depth of my circular saw. Blade is deep enough to cut through both pieces of wood all right. So let's get started, I'm going to use a handsaw here just to square off the edges, or the circular saw couldn't quite reach. So now that the large pocket has been cut out of both of these I've taken apart the clamps and pull them apart, so you can see in one from the other and now that they're separate the next part I'm going to do is install these ribs. So I have some wider ribs to go in the fatter part of the table, and I've got these more narrow, ribs that will go in between here. So they'll, basically just line up they'll, actually both sit. 
The large ones will sit a little bit below the top of the shelves, and these small ones will sit flush and you'll see why I'm doing that a little bit, but for now we'll go ahead and get these installed. So I'm just going to use some wood glue to some all-purpose carpenters glue here, and so I'm these. Actually, these wide ribs here sits three quarters of an inch below the top of the front back, so that allows that side platform to sit flush with the side or the with the front of the back. I can always have it so. The side kind of sits on top of it, but I thought this would just be a little better. So once these get squeezed together here, wipe off a little excess glue, I'm going to tack them in place with Brad, nail gun and then go back and add a couple screws all right so to assemble this middle section. 
This is where the sauce it's they. It'S supported by the shorter ribs and actually they sit flush with the front and back and then the platform will sit on that one. It'S a little different than the side, but you could do this. However, you want to do really so they will get glued and attached to the larger roads and then there'll be a small Center rib in the middle, so there three large ribbon each side and a three small Ridge, alright. So so you can see from that shot. All right now, I'm going to be attaching the platform where the saw will sit on and now you can see why it's important to have both the middle and the side. So this middle platform has is supported all the way around. So a little bit of wood glue and then I'll drop. 
This soft support piece right in place there and I'm just going to square it up with the sides in the front and then I'll use a couple, Brad nails to tack it in place and a little glue sets. I won't use any screws through this part. So that's pretty much how you assemble, that the whole middle section between the front and the back not so hard. So now that we finish the platform, I've gotten it out of the way and we're going to work on the legs. Now the legs are just some pieces of plywood 3/4 inch and what I'm going to do is add some pocket screws to one where so it'll join the another leg piece like a right angle, design, and then each of these boards will get some pocket screws on The top and on the bottom, the top will allow it to connect to the actual miter saw stand and the bottom pocket screws will allow it to attach to some plywood pads, where we'll install our caster wheels. 
So to make this process easier. What I'm going to do is use two drills ready to go. I'Ve got one with my pocket screw bit on it, and I've got another one. An impact gun with my square bit drive for going through it. So four of these boards actually eight pieces, because each leg is two pieces for the boards: we'll get pocket screws on one side and on top and the other four we'll just get them at the top or the top and the bottom all right. So we'll get started with these all right. So now we have, the miter saw station flipped over and at this point of the installation you can see. I did a couple foot pads and these caster wheels and before we go any further and install the saw and get all that set up with the fence. 
That'Ll add some weight to the top and to keep the legs from splitting out or coming apart. We'Re going to add these front braces and they're just a long piece of plywood and with a couple pocket screws on each end and they're just going to connect the front legs and the back legs to each other and then between the side. Legs we'll also install a couple of these and they'll just go right in there, so I'll add some glues and some pocket screws and then our legs and the bottom will be ready for the saw okay. So I have my miter saw sitting on the miter saw station. It looks pretty good. All I got to do at this point is pretty much get it situated figure out where I want it, centered how fronton far front and back and then I'll mark some holes, for this particular saw and drill them out and bolt it to the table. One thing you may notice is that there is a good amount of gap on either side of the saw between where the table starts so up here. 
We'Ll have a piece of plywood same as over here and that will run to right around here and it'll. Be the same level as the top of the saw, so if you're using a different saw, your dimensions are going to be different in terms of the table overall, but I'm going to make an Excel spreadsheet. So you could put in your saw dimensions and you can come up with your own set of plans, but you will notice this gap and that the reason for that gap is when I swing this miter saw around. If I didn't have a space here, this wood saw extension here. This little arm will bump right into the table. So with that gap it doesn't do that, but you can imagine if this were right here. 
This would be banging right into so I thought that was a necessary feature to incorporate same thing on this side, all right, so I'm going to go ahead and get this attached alright. So at this point I've installed my miter saw here. I'Ve got it bolted in the front and then screwed down into the back. It'S standard pretty well and I've dropped in my two side: feet tables, so they sit flush. They actually go into the framing and before I attach them, I'm going to need to put a groove right down the middle of each of these, and in that groove the fence will sit and so to mark that line for where that groove will go. 
I'M going to use a long piece straight of a piece of MDF, so you really want to use something. That'S the longest, truest straightest piece you have and I'm going to do is basically, but this up I have a factory edge on here. Still so I'm going to buck this up against the backstop of this miter saw make sure it's nice and square there, and then it's going to take a pencil and I'm going to trace out where this line is and it's going to continue on the front and On the back, alright, so now I know where to put my cut for the fence so to cut my group of my fence, I set up a stop block here, clamped it down from the right distance, where I want with a groove to be, and I'm using My router bit my plunge router assembly with a 3/4 inch wide groove cutting bit okay. So I'm about to make a mistake here, and I want to make sure you do this right when you do it, I'm pulling or the router from the right to the left. 
Here, what I'm doing this and that's actually a mistake when you're working with a free-standing router like this, if we want to pull it from the run from the left to the right, this is the way the router rotates. Now it's the opposite of a router table, because the router is flipped upside down, router tables. You go from right to left, so with our groove cut in our side panel. 
All we have to do now is throw down some glue. It also screw it. If you want, but I'm just going to stick with the glue and then we're going to lay down these boards, make sure it's nice and snug, I'm going to take some more glue, put in our groove and drop in our fence and make sure this fence stays Square to this work surface, we'll install a few right angle pieces along the back, and I live with a little bit of glue and some Brad nails. So that's it for this build. If you want to make your own check out the link in the description and you'll be able to get access to the excel file for your own saw dimensions as well as the post that goes along with this video. So thanks for watching and we'll see you later
