DIY Garage Mobile Workbench / Miter and Table Saw / How I Built In 10 Steps

In this video, I will show you how I built a mobile workbench for a miter saw (Dewalt #DWS780) and table saw (Dewalt #DWE7485). The mobile workbench includes a rotary tray for the miter saw, so it can flip down under the table top and be stored out of the way for table saw use. No need to have an extra piece of plywood to cover the miter saw section when using the table saw!

I am calling this my ultimate mobile workbench for all my future projects at the house as I continue to renovate my 1930s home.

Hopefully you enjoy this video and give it a thumbs up. If you enjoy this type of content, subscribe to the channel...there is definitely more to come.

Links to products I used:
You can use 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" wood screws and washers to secure the miter saw to the tray. Just ensure they do not protrude through the other side of the plywood.

i like how u listed the materials at the start of the video. no one ever says what they start out with. great video

[Lumpydonut]

Copied this but made it my own dimensions, one of the coolest things I've ever made, thanks for the idea!

I always like DIY’er video’s like this of which contain both a list of materials, an audio narrative by the builder (and possibly the exact dimensions), as well. – Why? – Because.

– ONE – The builder thinks of others who may, or may not be trained and experienced enough to build their own but which both need a certain item for themselves and of which are possibly inspired and motivated to do so themselves as a DIY’er by watching video’s of what others have already built for themselves.

– TWO – The builder explains “HOW”, he has done something during the building of that item, as well as “WHY”, he has done something a particular way during the building of that item.

– THREE – The builder lists all the materials necessary for building that particular item.

Yes. A standard “Run-of-the-Mill” DIY’er video containing nothing but the builder building something (which sometimes generally contains a speeded up sequence), which also only contains background music (of which generally consists of music that the builder enjoys, but many times others themselves do not enjoy listening to), with no audio narrative of “HOW” and “WHY” something is done in a particular way, or sequence, and for a particular specific reason, may inspire someone else to build that item because they need it for themselves.

But in overall essence, it many times leaves the viewer and the potential builder of such an item in a predicament of “RED-FACED, SHAME” at the end of their own build because either during the building process, they overlooked something and/or left out a specific step, sequence, item, or even a necessary item (or items), from the needed and required materials list, and therefore have to keep returning to the store for further necessary and required materials to complete the build.

Also Not to mention that at the end of the build their own item of which they so proudly built themselves either:

- ONE - It does not stand up to long-term usage.
- TWO - It does not look good overall.
- Three - It leaves the inspired and motivated potential builder in "Red-Faced-Shame". And many times,
- FOUR - It does not even come close to matching the original item except in a slightly off-hand general sort of way.

Thank You for "A Job Well Done" - This is the way all of them should be done.

Such a great video to following alone with. Especially for beginners like me

[Affordablebath_remodel]

nicely done video, great thought on the build with the flip for the miter saw.

[rm-hbul]

Incredibly gifted and entertaining. Not only a high quality workbench but tornado shelter. Lol

[jerrylozada]

Thank you, looking for way to add the miter saw exactly the way you made it. I didn't want it hanging, thank you.

[ExploreFishing]

Very cool project bro! The turning miter saw section is really simple and smart! good job

[leroymellix]

Your use of the 2x4 half lap combined with the laminated square cut but joint supporting top and bottom is great methood. Well done!

[vinodthan]

thank you so much for such a great detailed video. I'm still working on my build and I just appreciate the way you walked through it.

[tdav]

Cool! Really like the fixed miter saw flip. 👍👍

[jamesj]

I've seen so many of these but YOUR design is the BEST I've seen and very well explained. LOVE IT! Finally found the one that I will try to replicate nearly exact. Only thing I'll do different, is make it 2 separate rolling workbenches that can bolt together when desired for the extra length, but otherwise can be separated so I'm not always stuck with an 8 ft table.

Congratulations on your work table and for sharing and we can use your idea. thanks

[jackroden]

This is excellent! Thank you for inspiring my next build!

I like it. Simple and functional. A lot of videos with stuff like this get overly complicated. And yeah, maybe it looks better but you just take more time and money to build it for no real functional benefit.

I just got a miter saw and was looking for content like this. Looks good, I will reference your build when planning my own. Thanks.

[Steeda]

Amazing build! I’m building this exact bench!!! Love it! You Rock!

[WoodenWerken-oxjy]

exactly what i was looking for, since i was using that exact table with what looks like those exact saws. great build.

[ekhoromeo]

Excellent build! I think that this would work in my garage. Thnaks for sharing 🪚

[sgtryon]

This is beautiful, and exactly what I'm looking to build! I emailed for the step-by-step and already received them; I can't wait to get started this weekend! I'm going to see if I can figure out how to mount my Kreg jig or some other low profile tool to the other side of the miter flip top. Then it could be covered with a temporary plate while in use as an outfeed. Thank you again!

[yooperpete]

Very cool design. I think this is exactly what I need.
