I love watching woodworkers start a with a vision and go off the cuff with how they see the steps to get to that goal. It really makes me more confident that as long as I have the basics down, then I can really use the limited tools I have to try to make something, and don’t need to follow things to the tea if I see a different way of doing something. It’s all about innovation and figuring stuff out along the way.

@m.fabian6993 3 жыл бұрын

I love your videos dude. If you don’t mind, I do have a pointer for your hanging hardware. I would recommend putting the hardware approx. a third down from the top and when you tie your wire on, pull it as taught as possible. Wire will stretch and sag overtime so if you use the plastic coated wound wire and pull it taught, you’ll get a closer hang to the wall, a neater finish to the piece, and a longer lasting solution. I know your vids are about having fun making stuff. I just spent 4 years selling and making frames and I couldn’t help but share this tip. Take it or leave it and thank you for the excellent vids

This is a super sharp looking mirror. I love to watch you build projects when you kinda create them as you go. When I first caught a glimpse of the mirror, I thought of the "Jetson's" logo. Do you remember that shape? I've always thought it would be cool to name one of my wiener dogs "Elroy", but for some reason I never have. Thanks for sharing this project.

TU. It came out great. Few things that occured to me, not criticisms, just potential alternative options. 1) I would probabaly cut the mirror first since that's the hard part. That way if the glass snapped a little bit off want was planned, or if it didn't come out perfect, you can adjust the frame accordingly 2) the Walnut did come out great! I would have considered a walnut veneered plywood. Would have probably been much easier to just cut out the circular shape than edge joining. Would need some edge banding though on the outside unless the plywood look is okay with you . 3) I wonder if it would work to not even cut the glass. Just have the wood in the shape you want, and cut an inlay in the back so the entire circle mirror fits inside, but on the front only the circularnshape you want is exposed. The shaoenwojld be a bit different and the wood would probabaly need to be a bit wider in a few spots, but reduce the risk of breaking the mirror / fear factor of cutting it. Just a few thoughts.
