13' of Modular Cabinets for a Miter Saw Station

Great vid, lots of good ideas! Thanks. A 6" wide board cut from the factory edge of an 8' sheet of 3/4" stable sheet stock is much cheaper than even an inexpensive 70" level. Placing a quality level on top of the edge of the board gives you an excellent result. (You don't really need the level if you are just checking for coplanar tops, just the perfectly straight board edge.)

I have watched all your videos for the cabinets and mitre saw station a few times. I have a Ryobi sliding mitre saw at the moment that slides backwards so would not suit a built in station like this. I am looking to upgrade to a forward sliding Makita mitre saw that will then connect wirelessly to the Makita dust vacuum that I have. I don't have this yet so not sure on the exact dimensions of the base but I am thinking the depth of the cabinets with need to be bigger than 20 1/4inches. I haven't downloaded the plans yet so can't see if this is easy enough to be done. I don't park my car in the garage it lives on the driveway as this is my workshop :) This is going down the side wall of my garage with opening roller door to street at front and door to house on same wall at the other end this is going on. The area I have to put it is 184 inches. I want to be able to draw up a plan in sketchup to get a better idea of the layout. I like your plan that you show in your video. I also have the sawstop table saw and my dust extractor which I have connected to this is similar to that. I will be buying a few of your plans as well like the wood storage and tool storage cabinet and drill charging station. I am trying to get a bit more organised in my garage and work out the best layout for it all. Sketch up is not the easiest program to do this in. You wouldn't have a video on how you can do this with your workshop plan would you? If you flipped your plan so the stairs and mitre station were on the other wall and chopped off the shelved near the garage door that would be similar to what my garage would be. My garage is 5500mm (18 feet) long x 5400mm (17.72 feet) wide.

How many cabinets can you make with one 4x8 sheet of plywood?

hello, there is there a concern for buying a slide taller than 1.75 inches as recommended in the plans? I noticed the ones you recommend are out of stock at wood craft and curious if there are other options or dimensions I need to consider in selecting optional 18 inch slides for the plans to work correctly?

I don’t think the smaller cabinet he made in the beginning of the video is part of the plans for sale. Unless I’m wrong?

what medthod do you use to calculate the spacing of drawer boxes from bottom of cab to top?

Soooo where does one buy pocket hole screws in BULK?

Can you tell me what Total boat finish you preferr the gloss or a differant affect

Love all of your content and am glad you have plans available as well. I am trying to evaluate whether to build or buy. For a base 2 door cabinet and upper 2 door cabinet, what would you say each would cost to build per your plans? Thanks for your help in advance.

Im building a miter saw station based on your plans, however, I'd like to incorporate a measure tape, ttrack and stop block capability, AND...I want to laminate my countertop with black formica laminate. Can you recommend the order in which to do these things, and what to do to prevent chipout when routing ttrack groove into the laminated surface (assuming you recommend laminating first). Thanks.

Anyone know what size brad nails were used in this and the other cabinet videos.

What size of screw you used for corner joint of plywood?

How would you go about with a wall having a 2inch concrete bottom border? There would be a gap behind the bottom cabinets and the wall. Would I just reverse the toe gap to be in the back instead?

I seem to find myself rewatching your cabinet builds. Never gets old. Seems like I watch them once a year… or more often.

Do you change pocket hole direction (vertical on sides vs horizontal on top/bottom) on the floor cabinets vs the ones hung on the wall?

What program do u use to design your cabinets?

Great set-up! Any recommendations for a room that is 8 foot width? I have a 12" compound sliding miter saw that is 26" wide that I'm trying to squeeze in. Fitting the saw in the counter leaves me with 70" of counter space. I'm aware that I have no room to cut 8 foot length wood, but I need a place for the saw. It's too heavy to store away. The room is 8' x 8', very small I know.. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

What would you do for the base cabinet top if you had a 105" span of cabinets (2 sets of double cabinets and 3 drawer cabinets) since ply is only 96" long? Would you just split it in half with a trim piece in the middle?

Mate I love what you do! i'm very keen to join and purchase plans but is there any chance of getting measurements in metric as well on the plans?

Fantastic build Brad - you make it look easy. Wish I lived close to you - I would commission you to build out my garage with some mega boss level modular units. Love everything about the style that you choose to make.

BTW - fantastic content, especially on this series. Love it.

Where can one buy the racks/brackets for your lumber storage?

Yeah great build. Looking forward to trying this out and building some for myself. Wondering if there is anything additional that needs to be adjusted if I use a deeper cabinet depth? I have plenty of space in my shop so I would rather do 24" depth.

With the crazy prices of lumber, what's your take on using 1/2 instead of 3/4 to save money? pros and cons?

Dang! Those cabinets look absolutely INSANE! Super jealous. Great work!

Quick question. First love your videos. So it looks like you are constantly using russian baltic birch plywood. If that is true my question is will i get the same results using plywood from a lumber store; not home depot but a real lumber store?

What kinda wood are you using?

Where do you get perfectly straight plywood. Most big box stores have plywood with a warp. Its ok for the carcass, but I find it very challenging to make the drawers and the doors. Any tips?

How high do you hang the wall Cabinet from the base cabinet?

Thanks for the video. You seem to think every detail through including some I would overlook. How high above your lower cabinets did you mount the upper cabinets? I think you might be just an inch or so taller than me so our reach is similar. I know there are "industry standards" of the placement......but I am the only one using my garage shop.

Love you videos Brad. Looking to build something similar here in Australia but my local good quality Birch Plywood merchant is telling me not to use 3/4 inch for doors as it isn't stable enough. Yet, you've done exactly that.
Have you had any issues? I live in Brisbane where our humidity ranges from 60 to 75% depending on the season. Would this be a factor for their concern? Thanks in advance, Clinton

Do you use glue when putting your pocket hole pieces together?

where are those metal lumber racks from?

What are you finishing the cabinets with? any stain, or polyurethane? or, if you have a video showing how to finish out garage/workshop cabinets share a link! thanks and keep up the good work!

You're making dovetailed cutting boards. Pocket hole cabinets. I'm confused.

Great video!! I’m also in Nashville (Spring Hill actually). Where do you prefer to get your cabinet plywood?

I love sketchup, used it to design my mitre station as well

this is really cool

If I want to build this exact setup how many total sheets of 3/4" plywood would it take so I can start saving....

I totally would want to move those cabinets as well. I'd need help though and my husband would look at me like I was insane. Glad I'm not the only one with this affliction. LOL.

I love these modular cabinets. I want to do a whole wall. But man... that would set me back a pretty penny. And take a while. But one of the things I love about these is that I can build a couple now and add some later like you did. These are great. I'll be buying the bundle of plans soon!

Fly that OCD flag high brother.

I would like to buy the FTBT Modular Garage Shop Cabinets Bundle but I work in metric, Is there a chance of getting a metric version of the plans or supply the SketchUp file for the conversion?

Hey Brad! I recently bought a job site table saw that has a rip capacity of 28-1/2”. How can I cross cut plywood to make a cabinet that is bigger than the rip capacity of the table saw?

How will you incorporate dust collection for the miter saw? I like your cabinets and will probably buy your plans. I have a Bosch 12 inch axial glide miter saw. It takes up some real estate and as with most saws it makes a lot of dust.

Thoughts on 1/2” vs 3/4” BB ply for drawer boxes? Is 1/2” gonna be too flimsy for heavy drawer loads?

😂😂😂 it was and never is overkill. Great job.

Thanks to your videos I now know there’s a Woodcraft store in Knoxville!

Brad, which dust collection hose do you use ? The red and black one ?

Quick Question: When I put the drawers in and if you look on the side of the cabinet, why is the top of the drawer sit flush with the cabinet but it flares out toward the bottom? What am I doing wrong?
