This is an easy to build fully modular system! I show you how to build base cabinets, which can be done in 2' or 3' widths. And upper cabinets in 2' or 3' sections. So this project is scalable to any size! Mine is 13' wide, but you could easily build it anywhere from 3' - 20' wide or more. Simply by adding or subtracting components.
You also can just as easily make the base with drawers as I did or with shelving & cabinet doors, like I did the uppers. You will also see how to build a rigid semi-torsion box style top, in which to embed your miter saw.
And you choose the level of build that you want. from basic ply, to Baltic birch, or even hardwoods. Any of which will make a perfectly functional Extreme Miter Station.
This is a 13' long x 7' tall miter station containing sixteen dovetailed drawers, in four base cabinets, a bank of six upper cabinets, and a bunch of storage shelving cubby holes in the middle.
The bodies of the cabinets are mostly Baltic birch plywood. the drawer fronts are from leftover pieces of walnut plywood that I had from a kitchen job. And the sides are skinned with 1/4" cherry plywood.
I used architect's scale triangular aluminum rulers for the drawer pulls. I drilled and tapped them just for this project. And the upper cabinet handles are actually 3" c-clamps.
My old miter station had a 12" DeWalt sliding compound miter saw, that used up too much space in my shop. The dual bars that the miter head slid on forced me to keep the saw 11" further from the shop wall than I wanted.
After researching, I found the Bosch Glide 12" dual Bevel miter saw that could be placed practically against the wall of the shop. Because of that, I would be able to gain almost a foot of space in my shop. That's quite a bit when the shop isn't as big as I'd like.
Plans are available on my website! I hope you come back and see all 4 parts of this video series.

We love teaching the world to do woodworking.
Everyone always wants a dollar. You can’t put the plans up for free you have to charge for it? Some people just have to be greedy.
Hi Jerry, I appreciate your point of view. If you’re interested, I’ll tell you our position. We spend dozens to hundreds of hours on a project to try and teach people woodworking online. We don’t charge anything for that. We do it because it’s fun. But we do need to make a living. We get a tiny amount from youtube, but far less than you might think. So we fund the channel by selling plans. That gives us just enough to keep the channel going. If I sold thousands of plans, or even hundreds, I could certainly lower the price. But like anyone, we need to make some money to keep it going. I’m sorry that you feel we are greedy, but I can promise you that’s not the case. I spend 100 hours a month in our Facebook community group answering questions and answering emails and genuinely trying to help people. And if you ever have a question or need help, if I can, I’m happy to help you too. Anyway, I hope you can understand our point of view. Thank you for taking the time to comment. James
Everyone wants something for nothing. If you had any intelligence to speak of, you could figure it out or just design one yourself.
King's Fine Woodworking in regards to your charging money for your plans? You are more than entitled to monetary gain. I'm sure the money you are getting is much less than the actual value that one receives. I love your channel and you are a top notch carpenter/ woodworker and a pleasure to watch. Your daughter is a hoot to say the least lol ( the photo bomber) lmao! I always have a smile on my face whenever I watch you and your lovely family show use not only how to woodwork but, we see how love and respect and cooperation looks in the shop. It is a beautiful thing. I broke my back quite some time back and I am very limited in how physical I can be, so being on disability makes it hard to make ends meet otherwise I would be contributing to your cause for sure. I recognize the value in your everyday shows. Just know that what your doing is a very good thing and appreciated by a lot of people. You can't make everyone happy so they are just on their own. I just wanted you and your family to know how much I appreciate what your doing. Bless you all.

@Kodiak WoodWorks Thank you very much for such a kind hearted reply.
Thanks much. I always find your videos profitable.
250 lb torsion box top is made of 20 lbs of wood and 230 lbs of screws. I love the finished product. Great work!
Nice to see the entire family helping out.
Molaison Maker, thank you!
My favorite part of this build is seeing his daughters participation. Solid build as well.
Great work! We love watching your youngest daughter sneak in and out with a smile.
Nice to see a man working with and teaching his children some real skills!
Well done, I love how your whole family gets involved with your projects.
You deserve father of the year. Teaching your kids this valuable trade will serve then well as they get older. Well done! Oh! And the build, great job by you and your team.
I think it’s wonderful that your daughters are interested in woodworking and want to spend time with daddy!
Love to see you getting your family involved. Teaching life skills and spending time together! What a win!
Thank you!
I agree %100 with you !!! You have a great family !!
I second this! my daughter loves coming by the shop, I have to get her more involved
I appreciate the no nonsense delivery of information. Pleasant but to the point.It keeps me engaged
Thanks for watching.
I love the way you kindly speak of you r daughter and family as a whole. Great job man. Doing great work!
Thank you very much!
it's absolutely fantastic you let your daughter get involved with this! this is something she'll always remember. this station is almost exactly what i've been looking for. a great build - thanks for showing us.
it's great to see your whole family pitching in and working together
Thank you Scott!
It’s awesome your kids help in the shop. We need more kids to work with their hands. Very cool video!!!
I find it amazing that your youngest daughter is as interested in wood working as she is and is always working with you in your videos. Most her age is sucked into video games
Your daughter stole the show in this video. I have a feeling that she will have her own building videos in the future. Cool dad for letting her help. I wish I would have learned this young instead at the ripe old age of 51. But, you’re never too old to learn.
Thank you! I am very lucky to have their help.
Отличная,дружная семья!👍 а стол супер!!Молодцы.
Love the family working together.
I love that you doubled it up. Industrial extreme overkill.
Thank you!!
Beautiful family and great job
Always wanted to build something. Thoroughly enjoyed your show.
Thank you!
I am so happy to see you working with your daughter and letting her learn from you. These are skills everyone should have. I learned at my grandfather's knee and have taught my daughters as well.
your whole family is really talented.
Thank you. You’re very kind.
It's awesome that your photo bomber loves spending time with dad. 🤗
Pocket joints are rad thanks for sticking up for them
I certainly like them.
It’s so great that you can spend so much time with your family working together. I grew up in my dad’s machine shop. It makes a big difference in a kids life. Good on you! 😁
Второй раз смотрю. Отличный стол,Jon👍
Excellent video series. I admire a craftsman who spends so many hours on a project like this, yet takes the added time to document each step and share the process on video. I think some people take for granted the added hours and manpower necessary to record their work, then edit and do the voice narration. I am especially impressed that you took the time to explain the couple of fixes you did on the fly, why they happened, and how you addressed it. Few people show this step in their videos. Kudos to you and your family for your efforts. I found your channel tonight because its time to upgrade my miter saw station. Your detailed instructions were very helpful to me. I am subscribing to your channel and look forward to seeing what other videos you have. Wish you continued success.
Five daughters you sir are a brave man
I have been inspired! Several of my family members are woodworkers of some sort...while I have always been the outcast that prefers fabricating/building with metal. However, this is one of the top how to anything video that I have seen...EVER! Thank you very much. Again, you and your family have inspired me.
Hi Korey, Thank you so much for the kind compliment!
Dr. king, I’m setting up my first woodworking shop and this miter station is my first project. I bought your plans and I’m changing them to suit my space, so, wish me luck, I’m certain to need it. Love watching you and your intrepid assistant complete such interesting projects.
Idoneam Fabrilis, thank you and good luck! Please don't hesitate to email me if you need help with measurements and such! Take care! ~James
I've been watching Y'ALL for quite some time now and not only do I appreciate all of your skills I really truly believe that the main reason for my family friends and I watch y'all is this amazing awesome beautiful inspiring intelligent loving Family you and your wife are in charge of in this day and age family well I should say not all but most families are not together they barely say I love you to one another I think that you and your wife should and could start a new profession it should teach families how to be family I'm in my mid fifties and I have to tell you and your wife are great and amazing patriarchs I'm so proud of y'all thumbs up my friends
Thank you!! You are very kind.
Great instruction, calm narration and a nice family. Excellent
Thank you very much. :-)
You are not kidding King . ! I notice that you young girls not only have the skills but she is always smiling . Very cute !!! She knows and she is always with good anticipation .
I love your helper!! She is adorable!!! Great job to both of you on this build!!
I love the fact you're teaching your daughter. I'm a new woodworker but my daughter joins me in building stuff as well so we learn together.
Love your videos. It is always amazing to see how involved your family is in the process. Thank you and keep up the good work.
great video! Very cool to see you involve the kiddo in the project! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Nice work! Every inch of the shop counts and I like your new saw! Good to see the whole family helping out, thanks for taking the time to film and share, all the best!
elams1894, thank you!
Very well done both on the miter saw station and editing the video. I love that your family is involved in the process of box.
Thank you!
I really enjoy your projects but I also like your family in the videos.
Fantastic video! Love seeing the family getting involved.
Your work is so meticulous and beautiful!! You inspire me so much.
love the design ad the use of space. good call on the new miter saw
Hi Markus! Thank you!
Impressive build, it's going to look so good once you're finished! Thanks for sharing
Whole family involvement. Awesome.
Thanks for a great plan. I just finished the base part and I love my new mitre station! It's extreme!
Awesome job dad, making memories that will last a lifetime. Oh and the Extreme Miter Station is equally as impressive. Thanks for sharing your build.
Great to see the proper use of a screwgun's clutch!!! Impact drivers may be lighter and more compact, but a properly set clutch wins the day for me.
Thank you very much!
Cute daughter! It must be a joy to have her help you!
Nice build. I need to build one for my newish 10" Bosch Glide. I agree with Jacob Kokura, nice to see the family involved. Your daughter looks like she knows what she's doing!
Thank you!
This gave me some great ideas for a space saving workbench in my garage. Thanks and keep up the great work!
You just made life easier as I built a wall system that is not real convenient and after seeing your setup, it makes more sense to me, except for now I have to live with the dewalt sliding miter saw. My original goal was to be able to park my pickup in the garage except the goal is to have a fairly decent work shop so the pickup stays outside. The shop has been a dream for me all of my life.
Just found your channel so I'm doing some catching up. I can tell you now...I really enjoy your builds and narration. Great work
Thank you very much!
nice your daughter helps you, my son helps me out, I love it when he goes in my shop to grab tools to work on his own
that miter saw station looks outstanding great work
Patrick's WorkShop, Thank you very much!
Hi, King's Fine Woodworking! I love your videos. Having edits and narration is really helpful to explain what is happening throughout the video. It's great to see your family involved. I enjoy projects with my son - really builds a bond. The photo bombs are really great! Kudos to the youngest for her talent and willingness to be on camera! Have only watched 3 of your videos but have learned so much. I'm a beginner and enjoy learning from the best!
I think that you are so sincere about your craft Instructions and educating it's great to see or see again what you've done and about to do . You also have a beautiful family GOD bless you all .
Your helper is awesome! Great job dad. And good video. Thanks
Hello, it's nice to see how professionals work !!!!
thank you!
Fantastic! I'm getting ready to build mine and you have really helped me. Thank you
I need one of those saws! I have the Dewalt, the older version, but still with the depth issue. And the Kreg, those are the way to go, I built out my old garage using the Kreg system. The shelving and benches are rock solid. Great video.
4:04 She spots the camera....aaaand slowly creeps away. lol. Too funny. Really nice build btw.
Haha, you actually got it backwards. Look again, she spots the camera, but moves to stay in frame! haha. Even when I motion for her to move out of the frame, she does so, but as SLOWLY as possible. :-)
I'm jealous of all of the wonderful help you have. Nice Build.
Thank you! I am very lucky.
Awesome Build! Thanks for posting!
I'm sure others have said this too, but this is AWESOME you get your family evolved. Truly remarkable work and loving the channel so far!!
Hi Scott. Thank you very much!
I found watching this video very therapeutic and very enjoyable, makes me want to take up joinery so thanks for sharing and doing a great job
Thank you! That’s very kind.
Thank you very much. Your instructions are so clear it makes me think I can do this.
Nice job dude i like how you have your daughters working with you they have alot of respect for you bravo
Excellent work and excellent walk through video! .. Great Job!
Nice project, good video and OUTSTANDING that you're so active with your family. I really enjoyed watching and look forward to others.
Thank you!
Love seeing you and your daughter working together. I to have five daughters to and they are my best friends they help me with all my projects, great job God bless you and your family.
Hi Robert! That is awesome. Thank you very much.
Impressive craftsmanship.
Girl got skill. I'll always go around my grandpa when I was little and annoy him. He was a plumber. He would allow me once in a while to "tighten" a pipe or hand him the keys. Those are memories that stay forever.
Hi Andreea! Thank you for watching and commenting. :-)
Looks like you did a great job. The whole family can be proud SALUDOS DESDE MÉXICO
After all your work and intricate planning, I have to say, my favorite feature is the handles on the uppers. I'm definitely stealing that for my build.
Haha! Awesome!
I love your channel and if I got one of your plans I would certainly happily pay for it!! Thanks to you and your family for what you do!!
I like your method for building bases and the room for the toe kick. Getting ideas before I build my own.
Thank you!
Can't wait to see the finish project...thanks for sharing..
Ady Unixmoment, thank you! Hopefully I'll have the next part tomorrow, and the final one a couple of days after that.
That's a work of art - well done to all of you!
Thank you!
Love your workshop buddy love the wooden vise . U are very talented brother.
Great project my friend and I reckon your daughter is a star. A pleasure to follow you through the project and even better to see that your family support you so well and you teach them at the same time. Many thanks
Thank you Gordon, for your very nice comment, ~ James
Completely agree. High 5 and big props to you dad for teaching your daughter these skills. Our kids are not getting these skills in school any more these days, which is a shame. She will have leg up on a lot of people going forward. She will also be a future KZheadr and can be on camera all the time.
Thank you Ron
Now those are some handy young hands! Awesome work!
That was a Awesome video man. you should be proud and happy. I love how you got your own kid to help you build that and your shop. You have a great future woodworker who is learning from the best. Her own DAD. way to go!!
Thank you very much!
Excellent video mate & pleasure to watch this build tutorial, great decision to purchase a Bosch glide saw, I bough one & it's the best decision I've made, cheers Dirk from Sumo's Projects 👍👍👍
Thanks Dirk!
Everything you've shown me in this video is extremely informative and very helpful. I am so grateful that you went to all this trouble (with your daughter!). I have learned a lot, and to be honest I hated pocket screws BEFORE I saw your video. Now, I am converted directly as a result of seeing how useful you have made them in the video! I am going to look for a tool similar to the one that you have been using to help me make the pocket screw holes. I know it sounds a little sad, but honestly, thank you for your efforts. I can see how this will help me. And "No such thing as too many screws" is a saying that I go by as well.
Hi Gary! Thank you. This is the jig that I use for pocket screws. amzn.to/2xs3NOO I do find them very handy for lots of projects. Thanks for watching. ~James
Looks like you did a great job. The whole family can be proud :-)
Thank you Galen!
What a great kid, and an awesome build!
Amazing I am just designing my mitre saw station and this video has given me some great ideas 😊
Good use of space :)
Thanks Jay! I'm a big fan of your channel. You make some awesome videos! ~ James
mmhmm.
Found a good use for a HF tap and die set, nice!
Kudos to you and all your family.
Hi Paul, Thank you!
Oh my, I pulled my hair out with 2 and the Mrs. I couldn't imagine 5 great build though looks really well organized. Love seeing family out in the work shop.
Thank you! I am very blessed. They all help so much, and are all wonderful young ladies.
Really well thought out.
Hmmm, I guess it was just luck that I ran across your video. I am just now starting to build the exact same thing, also for the Bosch 12" glide saw. I really like your approach to the top. It completely changes my plan. I'm glad I hadn't already started cutting boards!!! :-) Great video, thanks for posting.
Hi Lee! Haha, that's fantastic! Thank you for watching!
First time watching your video and straightaway sub to your channel. Love how your passion let u spend more time with family. 👍🏻
Thank you very much.
Great work! Congrats for the family and keep'm trained for the next projetcs!!! Victor from Brasil
Very inspiring. Great stuff!
Hi Doug! Thank you!
