Fine Woodworking reader Mark Gulielmana combined wood storage and a miter saw station into one mobile unit.

Lets face it: space is at a premium in the workshops of hobbyist woodworkers. Garage and basement shops are often cobbled together without the luxury of having constructed these spaces with the specific intent of building furniture. That's why woodworkers have become savvy with space by creating lots of "double-duty" work stations. A perfect example of this is the ever-popular tablesaw outfeed/router table combination. It brilliantly makes use of a space that's already there for use as a fully-functional router table.

Woodworker Mark Guglielmana used this same principal when he designed this dual purpose wood storage/miter saw station. To speed up construction, his unit was built using a dado set, air nailer, and lots of glue. It boasts plenty of storage, integrated power, and it's mobile thanks to some heavy-duty casters.

akgull akgull writes: I saw and read the actual article - with measurements and material list within the past month. Problem is I can't find it now. I believe it was a "Shop and Tools" (Tauton Press) issue and online searches seem to support that but I, like many of you all, cannot download the "free download" with any thing more than a "picture".

Mr. Pressman, Editor, Webmaster, responsible person! Please help the 46 or so of us who have accessed this webpage acquire the measurements, etc.

THANKS!

For those who might be so inclined to attempt this sans dimensions, my recollection is that the base is a torsion box measuring some 33" x 96" and the front and back horizontal pieces of the storage pockets up front were cut from one sheet of 1/2" plywood following the creation of dadoes and a longitudinal ripping - the measurements of which I do not recall. Hope this helps.

I agree with the other comments on this supposed "free plan", I am quite disappointed that there isn't any actual plan. Is this just an editorial over site or just stupidity.

newbiejudy newbiejudy writes: Hi - I keep checking back to download these plans because it is perfect for me. I have a space to put it and would like to rescue the saw horses that I am currently using and put them to better use. Is it possible for the great folks of Fine Woodworking to send out an email release when the link is good? Really looking forward to sink my teeth into this. Regards - Judy

epirnik epirnik writes: Hi folks,

Two points:

First - and most importantly - the plan link seems to have broken recently. I'm looking into this now.

Secondly: Like I said earlier, I agree with the folks who took issue at the bare-bones plan sans-measurements and have let those involved with free-plan production know that going forward, we need these plans to be....well....plans!

Thanks for the input - it was very well received!!

Now back to fixing this darn link!

Best,
-Ed

TenFingerPaul TenFingerPaul writes: Ok, so it's not a plan. You shouldn't have called it a plan but it's still a great idea and even if you did have the plans I suspect most of us would have changed it anyway. I'm happy with the idea and the rest I can figure out on my own so thanks.

WJAYW WJAYW writes: re:Free Plan: Wood Storage-Miter Saw Station
Were is the "free plan"? What I have managed to find is extremely lacking in real build-ability information and is not a true "plan" as I have come to know it. What I have been able to find is little more than a "concept design". Perhaps I am missing something that is obvious to others. Please help me navigate to the real plan. Or, if this really is all there is, please, in the future be specific as to the type of "plan" (i.e concept or building) that you really mean.

F/W be careful about toying with the customers, and your product! Don't think it matters, just ask NETFLIX !

ZiggywadeM ZiggywadeM writes: The only thing were doing wrong here is having faith in our fellow countryman. Them days are over I'm ashamed to say. But then again, I'm positive that there was just a computer glitch and If your patient enough It will be fixed by lets say, "the next working holiday". I will say this though Mr John White have been more than helpful to me on many many projects so I cant gripe there too much. enjoy

Little_Joe Little_Joe writes: epirnik & FineWoodWorking magazine,
Do you realize how this degrades OUR magazine?

This is NOT "Fine"... there is no word Bad enough to describe this when trying to compare it with "Fine".

A "Plan", if it's a Plan, should have full dimensions ON drawings... Namely: Front, Side,& Top views MINIMUM... other views to cover additional features of the Plan in order to assure an accurate building process following the printed Plan.

This so-called Plan does not come close in any way of doing that.

I ask You... Is this good for OUR magazine?!

When you advertise a free plan, you GIVE a free plan. Not a rough drawing with some comments written in.

tarsus37 tarsus37 writes: This just one of several "free" downloads that I've attempted to access on your web site, and instead get sent on an endless runaround with no real plan appearing. You had one about a free book on hand planes that was the same deal. Are you trying to tick off your loyal customers? What's the deal?

Dean7 Dean7 writes: This is not a plan! This is an idea of what someone could build. No instructions, no directions. “amr227” is correct. It’s a single page in issue #179 on page 14. Page 13 in the pdf does not exist in the magazine. It’s in a section called “methods of work”. It appears that Jim Richey took a photograph submitted by Mark Guglielmana, and turned it into a drawing so he could add a few pointers and labels. I guess this pdf download is an attempt to be “value added”, but does not succeed.

I suspect that the the numbers 13, 14 on the two pages shown are the page numbers of the magazine.

thoma7329 thoma7329 writes: In looking at the other "free" downloads, it looks like they don't really give you the plans. Not suprising since it is more about selling and money more than about giving woodworking enjoyment. I think you would already have these plans if you were a subscriber? Trying saving it, oops it protected there also. Nothing a Snagit program won't solve.
