- How To Build a Large Mirror Frame 1simple Woodworking Project
Hi guys in today's video I thought I would share how to build this simple mirror frame. If you have an old mirror sitting around at home this project is perfect!
You can make your own entryway mirror, bathroom mirror, any kind of mirror would work with this project and it only costed me around $7.00 for this one, which is 36" wide and 28" tall.
You can print free plans that will work with any size mirror if you want to try this project! theappalachianhome.com/wp-con...
I also used a table saw, miter saw, and a couple different brad nailers to build this frame. Here are all the tools I love to use on my projects! www.amazon.com/shop/christyca...

Hope you all enjoy this project!!
Nice job! Fyi the method you used to chisel the rest of the groove would be easier if you lower the table saw blade to the thickness of the mirror and run the board through it would have a much cleaner cut and alot faster.
Really like the frame, better than the ones I have done in the past. Two thoughts though. First, when sanding, avoid doing the joint edges (where the 45 degree joints meet). If your saw cuts a true 45, then any sanding will change that, making a rough looking joint. Second, when you cut out the notch/groove for the mirror to sit in, I would do a double cut, rather than have to do the chisel work. It's cleaner and quicker. I know this is not designer piece, but well finished will look good in most settings. Keep up the good work!
Also, I would add a few dabs of clear silicone caulking on each edge, just to secure the mirror, unless your cuts are so precise that they mirror cannot shift in the frame.
@@bruceduncan3646 Thank you. Doing research and I was wondering why people are not adding any kind of cushioning. Also, what to do if the mirror brakes. The way this is designed, it will be tough to replace the mirror.
Thank you for educating me.
Wow! That’s awesome!!
Thank you Christy for showing me how to do that I was on a customer's home that I did a complete renovation and she had asked me to make one for her bathroom and your video was the 1st 1 that came up and I am so happy that you showed me I hope you have a beautiful day in a happy New Year
Oh thank you!! So glad this video was helpful Happy New Year!
Exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much
I'm so glad this was helpful!
Exactly the info I needed. Great video!
I’m so glad thank you!!😊
This is what we call an actual frame 🎉👏
Omg!
That red stain on your table freaked me out when you were using the chisel!!
I thought you cut your fingers! 😂😂😂
Thank you for the video! 😁 👍🏼
Lol! Sorry didn't mean to scare you I hadn't even noticed that😁
Nice simple method to make a very cool mirror frame - I will be using this method to make mine....thank you!
Hi thank you that’s great! So glad you liked this!
Came out great! Nice job 💕👍
Thank you so much!!😊
Christy Thank you. I love that mirror. Lucky sister in law. You are so talented ♡♡
Aw thank you!!
That turned out so nice!!! I love your projects!!!!
☺️Thank you that’s so nice!
@@AppalachianHomeCo Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxzxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
very nice. I tried the same notch method with a circular saw. It did not go well.
Great video and a very nice mirror.
Thank you!!😊
Nice work sir
good job!
Nice work! I like the hand chiseling. You could have run those boards on the saw instead but would be less fun 😉
Thanks
Wow cantik sekali seperti Bali island
Thank you, Christy! always love your videos and love the mirror!
Thanks so much Li!! ☺️
Thank You for sharing your knowledge, such a great video, and as always I love your music! you are very talented.
That’s so nice thank you!😁
Would you PLEASE roll your thumb under the palm of your hand when cutting a miter. I was given that hint by a wood working teacher that had half a thumb.
You could have saved time by using the the fence and setting the saw blade shallow to clean the scrap out of the rabbet
I’d glue the joints so they don’t move with humidity
Finished project looked fantastic
Currently doing my bathroom. Framing a mirror similar size form part of this project. as the mirror got some blemishes around the edges. I were not very sure how to proceed. Tried getting frame moulding but none available for a mirror of that size at local DIY. Thanks to this video , I know how to proceed frame the mirror now.. 5*.
Awesome! So glad this was helpful!!
This is exactly what I needed! Unfortunately when I tried the link to download the plans it didn’t work, I think I might be able to figure it out from here though :)
Thank you so much for this detailed video!
Hi you are welcome! Sorry about the link I am working on some new ones!
HGTV, you're needed!!!
Amazing!!
😊😊😊
@@AppalachianHomeCo 😊
Nice! Just what I was looking for. Unfortunately, I don't have a table saw. Can't fit it in my one bed condo, lol!
Thank you! Lol! Yes that’s a problem 😏
Can the local hardware store cut them for you? Not sure where you live but Home Depot has cutting stations in the store; you can also ask someone to help you cut the wood.
Great work. You could also use a router to make that groove
Thank you! Yes, I am learning a little more woodworking.
@@AppalachianHomeCo You will need a router and a rabbet bit that corresponds to the shank width of that router. It will make quick work of cutting that groove in seconds.
Hi I'm new to woodworking and I found your project, any brands of tools that you recommend or any specific tools for someone like myself that is starting out besides the ones used in this video. Any input is greatly appreciated thank you
Nice 👍
Thank you!
Wow
I was unable to access the web site link you left for the plans, also what hook appliance do you use in the back to support the weight of the mirror and frame. Thank you
Nice project. I think you could have simplified the cutting of the groove for the mirror by running 2 passes on your table saw, instead of cutting the groove & chiseling.
Thanks I will definitely do next time!
@@AppalachianHomeCo why not cutting the groove more towards the middle and just sliding the mirror glass in the grooves, then fixing the 4 sides with the glass already in? i think this would be the fastest way. the mirror glass would stay secured within the grooves themselves and you wouldn't need to add extra wood on the back to secure the glass.
@@Calinn86 i had the same thought but you would have to do that before nailing and painting it all together. Nailing could break the mirror and you would then have to tape off the mirror to paint or stain it.
I need friends like you! Aghhhhh!
☺️Thank you!!
Thank you! This really helped make a frame. Just waiting on polyurethane to dry. My framed mirror is going into a bathroom should I use silicone around the frame?
Hi that’s great! I didn’t even think of silicone it might be a good idea.
♥!
👍👍
Great video. I am fine on the construction components. I just can't find where to get a builder-source mirror. I saw the mirror came from another bathroom mirror. Does anyone have a lead on a cost effective mirror?
Get the size mirror you want from Goodwill take off the ugly frame and build your own
@@claytonpotts01 that's a great idea! Thanks.
I do not see any link in the description box?
nice work but I have a simple question.. Where did the dust go when you was sanding??
Everywhere! 😄I try to sand outside or in the garage most days and clean up with a shop vac.👍🏻
I was gonna ask if she sanded cause I missed it! Her reply to you is my answer. I'll pay attention next time
Awesome video! Is there a new link for the plans? The one on the description doesn’t work
S
Thank you! My website is down, but I will try to have the links back up soon!
I don't really understand how you attach the corners? You put some degrees to nail it or just straight?
Hi. I just nailed these straight on the corners.
Hello, I have a 35.75” X 48.5” mirror. How do I know what size frames to use as I bought two 1X4X8ft and 1X4X10ft boards and made two-49 inch boards and two-37 inch boards which were too small. Any suggestions?
Hi! I would suggest doing the top and bottom frames 40.75” and side frames 53.5” long. That way your mirror will sit inside the frames 1” all the way around. Hope that makes sense!
Where didnu buy your mirror piece to install in your wood frame?
Hi. This mirror came from a wall bathroom mirror that had no frame that we already had. 👍🏻
Any reason for using chizel instead of using table saw?? just curious
Hi! Honestly at the time my husband was using the saw for something else lol!
3:01 I thought that was blood at first glance! lol
Lol no just paint!!😄
Not everyone has your special blessed tools it be nice if you could show us how to frame without the fancy tools and cutting saws
Hi! If you do not have those tools you can use a hand miter saw which is pretty inexpensive and good enough to make the frame pieces. I’ll see if I can find a good hand saw and do a video!
Come on now, you can get a miter saw new for like $300 and probably used on FB marketplace for half that. This video is for people who do woodworking. I would bet that 99% of people who have an inclination to do something like this have the tools they need to do it so it would be ridiculous for her to spend time on that in the video. And I must add, these videos she makes are free. You’re not paying for them to be so demanding of the product she put out for your benefit for no reward is ridiculous. She was very gracious in her response to you.
In the future, one should pose the question “hey, I was just curious, can this be done without power tools?”
The link in the description doesn't work
Saan po Ang pwesto nyo....
Beautiful job. I would have used 2" trim and color it expresso. Why didn't you used a little silicone sealant?? I'm making one for my bathroom with 1.5" trim. Will use a router for the mirror and go about 1/2" deep on the edges. Wish me luck. I also need to use hinges as its for a medicine cabinet.
No stain or paint?
Hi yes I did a light whitewash on the mirror and I think I sealed this one with wax.
Wait- at 2.19 that looks like blood all over the bench… hope not.😏 Love the accent.
Lol no it wasn't!! It was probably paint or stain.👍
$3.50 a piece! that aint no North east prices!!!! nice project though
Lol! Thanks so much!
Well aren't you just cute as a button !!
7$ and 3k$ worth of equipment.
Just joking, thanks, it was helpful.
Lol! That pretty much sums up my hobby.☺️
Why timber why don't plastic
Unlike because of snakevideo ads
Sorry about the ads!!
@@AppalachianHomeCo its ok dear .but its really annoying
