Step 1: Metal Cutting

Cut all 1”x3” square tubing parts to length using a metal cut-

ting miter saw, band saw, or even a hack saw.

*Note the 2 front/back and 2 sides are mitered. Length is to the

long part of the miter.

Step 2: Welding!

Using right angle jig, align the 4 perimeters parts (two front/

back and two sides) and tack the joints. Square the entire unit

and then weld all 4 sections of each joint.

*If possible, position the joint to create a horizontal weld.

Cut Saw.

Step 3: Internal Supports

Insert the 7 internal supports and divide the space equally.

Clamp them at a 90* angle and tack them all in place. This will

allow the material to properly cool and prevent warping. Go

back and fully weld all the supports.

Step 4: Grinder time!

Use an angle grinder with a flap disk to grind all the welds nice

and smooth. Take your time, the two surfaces need to be flush

as the top will need to sit level.

Step 5: Temporary Legs

Cut the four (4) 35” long 2”x4” temporary legs using a miter

saw, circular saw, or even a hand saw. Mount two of them to

the wall and set the remaining two near by for supporting the

front.

Step 6: Placing the metal frame

With help, move the metal frame into place. Position the back

of the unit on the two 2x4’s on the wall. While your helpers

keep the unit tight against the wall, place the remaining two

2x4’s on the front. Helpers should not leave until it is secured

with screws.



Step 7: Securing the metal frame to the wall

Drill a clearance hole in the square tubing where a stud is on

the wall.

Attach the fender washer to the 4” screw and drive to secure

the square tubing to the wall.

Step 8: Angle Iron Time!

Cut the 1” section of the 2” angle iron. Place one on the end of

the leg so it is flush with the top. Weld it in place.

Drill a hole in the flush part of the angle iron.

Using the self-tapping screws, place the leg in place and se-

cure to the top.



Step 9: Cut the top sections

Cut the 1/2” MDF sections for the top to length and width using

a table saw, circular saw, or even a hand saw.

Step 10: Install the top sections

Place the top sections on the top of the metal frame.

Secure using self-tapping screw.



Step 11: Enjoy your miter saw station

Your miter saw station is completed! Now you can start think-

ing of building storage underneath and purchasing or building

your support wings for the miter saw itself.
