Thanks for sharing this! Quick question: I completely botched the black finish while handling the handles while not fully dry. Would I need to re-sand down to the metal or would you recommend a lighter-grit sandpaper to smooth out the finish and start from the primer phase?
Thanks for sharing. Did you have some overhang at the bottom or it was flush with the mirror? I've a client needing this done and I'm trying to figure the easiest way.
For ours we have it not flush with the mirror. We did this because we wanted the mirror frame to sit on top of the backsplash, but we also have it not flush at the top and sides as well.
@@moderngreyfarmhouse Okay. This is helpful. My client fears the wood at the bottom will get well since itje mirror sits very close to the sink. She was of the idea we do 3 sides and skip the bottom. Note sure how that would look. Thank you so much.
That area we painted black inside and we store our Roku and sound bar in there. In my channel I have how we built the surround and you can see how we created that area. The heat projects forward, we have not had any issues, although we do not use the heat often.
How long before the shiplap started curling out on the bottom? There’s no way you can nail this way and keep it in place at the bottom. Unless you used glue.
This works but certainly not a great looking result. I would rabbet the inside edge of the frame so that the outside edge of the wood sits against the wall. Having the exposed mirror edge makes this look like what it is . . . four pieces of wood glued onto a mirror. I bet you can even see the reflection of the glue from the front.
I had a client today ask me if I could do this to their bathroom mirror and my first thought was “I’m gonna have to rabbet the inside so it sits against the mirror AND the wall”. I’ve been looking on YT and all these people literally just glue a piece of wood onto their mirror and call it a day. You are the first comment I have found that makes sense.
JUST a tip...for the jigsaw cut...make two hole diagonally opposite ends..top right and bottom left( incase your wondering lol) then run the jig from one hole making a L or a 7 , you would need to insetrt the jig twice in each hole, whichever you prefer, no need to make the Milkeway galaxy bhahahha...BTW...good job guys also subbed
Size is right on and have had no issues in using it for 6 months. Good heat output. Adds warmth to most of the basement. Remote is temperamental but works
I can’t automotive primer anywhere (offline or online) can you suggest what else can i use as a base coat? Fyi: i am trying to paint chrome/nickel metal bars of my motorcycle
I was able to find a few on Amazon. I willing them below. I also has success finding it at Autozone where I live locally. www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-2081830-Stops-12-Ounce-Primer/dp/B000V69Q58/ref=sr_1_7?crid=8P7F3N7P11UW&keywords=automotive+primer&qid=1691081432&sprefix=automotive+primer%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-7 www.amazon.com/Dupli-Color-General-Purpose-Self-Etching-Towelette/dp/B01MSW9M6Z/ref=sr_1_79?crid=8P7F3N7P11UW&keywords=automotive+primer&qid=1691081481&sprefix=automotive+primer%2Caps%2C184&sr=8-79
How is the mirror attached to the wall? I ask because I came home to my bathroom mirror detached and somehow unbroken on the floor! It has plastic clips attached, apparently they broke, the mirror was not glued to the sheetrock. Any tips or suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
This is a very good video! 👍👍👍 Will this work for a drain in a shower? I'm just wondering if this would hold up from continuous water contact. I'd appreciate your advice on this point. Thanks!
@@moderngreyfarmhouse Thanks for your reply. I may have to bite the bullet and just replace it, but it's surrounded by tile, so it won't be that easy. Don't want to break the tile to get it out. I'll have to put my thinking cap on for that job and see what others recommend. 🤔
@@audiophileman7047 you could try it and see how it goes. If it stars to peel off then it may not be hard to remove completely. My best advice for its staying power is to be sure use the automobile primer then paint then sealer.
They are interlocking which allows the bottom to not require any nail only the grooves need to be nailed in. For this particular build we also added baseboard so we could add nails to the very bottom piece. We also trimmed out the sides so we could add nails under those trim pieces also.
LOL you started sanding and painting at noon !!!! and finished a midnight!! NEXT time put your pieces closer so you have to empty 2 cans to paint 4 pieces
Yep! Ive used this kit for ceiling fans. Never got around to posting a video on it. But it held up well. amzn.to/3XriSKt Its called the The Can Converter R56
This kit is NOT rated for a ceiling fan. However, there are other kits like the "Can Converter 7" Kit" that are ceiling fan rated. They are more expensive (about $68) as of this post. I found them on the Lowes website.
