  • Making a Rustic Barndoor style floor mirror for my wife from basic lumber and a cheap frameless mirror. This is a project that every skill level should be able to accomplish in a weekend with only basic tools. Hope you enjoy!

    Thanks for making this project look so possible for non-woodworkers. My only woodworking experience is building a deck. Your video makes me feel like I can DO this!
    I have a nasty old builder-grade mirror that I took down (you know those rusty brown bits at the bottom...? Well I haven't been brave enough to destroy it to get rid of it. And I have an old deck to take down with weathered cedar boards. It's nasty on the deck, when the wasps come for nest building material, but it'll be fantastic on a rustic mirror frame! I think I can remake it better than the sum of its original parts. Just like you did. Thanks for inspiring and empowering me.

    Another great way to add distress marks is a short piece of chain.
    I have a piece that's about a foot long that I welded some old nuts and bolts and other random pieces of metal on that really make some unique and random markings. Another great video! 👍🏻

    Looks great. I have a living room table I bought back in 1990, it's survived 2 boys banging toys & everything else on it since then. I sanded it so new stain would adhere to it & it really has that vintage look. My in laws thought I bought a new table & wondered where I bought it, lol. Makes it look like an antique...I guess it is.

    I'm a little late but I am attempting this. The tutorial is epic helpful and i adore the rustic look with rocks to make small indentations in the wood before i stain it! The pocket screws will be a challenge for me but I'll see what i do.

    Another really great video! Thanks! I know you've already built it but if you ever need a video idea, I would LOVE to see how you made that sliding barn door. Those doors are so popular these day, I bet a lot of people would like to learn how to build them. Thanks!

    • @homesteadonomics
      @homesteadonomics  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Tiffany R Thanks Tiffany! My wife says I ought to do a video on the barn door too…. but I want to be able to show how to build it… so perhaps I might take a photo of this one and put it on craigslist and then if someone wants to buy it… I'll make a custom one and take a video of the process! …or maybe I could just do an overview?
      Anyways, thanks for watching!

      +Braxton Wirthlin thanks Braxton! Yes, this is a super easy project and except for letting the stain and glue dry only maybe had an hour and a half in the actually cutting, glueing, screwing, staining, etc,. And the funny thing is… you'll be the first to know… this one, I actually sold on craigslist and built another one just like it that is in our bedroom. So the one on the video essentially made our current one free!!

    • @BraxtonWirthlin
      @BraxtonWirthlin 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's the way to do it! On an unrelated note I recently attended a meeting of the local gardeners club here in the small town I live in. The subject of the meeting was bee keeping, so I got the contact info from the lady ho was doing the presentation and hopefully will have my first hive of bees this spring. Im pretty excited about it hahaha.

    • @homesteadonomics
      @homesteadonomics  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Braxton Wirthlin hahaha...noooo... that's actually sooo related Braxton! I'm sitting here loading video from my first honey harvest I had yesterday! I have four stings on my hand, but don't let that worry you as these are feral and slightly more aggressive Africanized bees and I was a bit rushed and rough when I opened the hive (or that's what I here... everything feral in AZ is Africanized).
      But it's such a cool thing to get into! I've been very 'trial and error' with my learning so far, but if you've already attended a meeting and are getting some good education/mentorship, you're already 5 steps ahead of where I started!
      I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress!
