LOL, I saw that edge and made a mental note to make it a little oversize. It is a great look to dress up a plain mirror. Well done and thanks for sharing.

@rickrodrigues2219 6 лет назад

Frame should have been wider on all sides ~1/2" to hide edge of mirror.

@richardcagle5475 2 года назад

I mean, why? Just why? So easy to avoid

@sergs3605 4 года назад

Good job, thank you for not having 16 mins video

@johnreed5015 8 лет назад

Nice job. I wouldn't have thought about sticking it right to the mirror. I would have taken the mirror down and fit it to the frame, then figured out how to mount the whole thing. This is much simpler. Great tip. Thanks for sharing.

@kerirobicheaux6629 3 года назад

I have a question. How come you didn't use construction-grade glue to glue the frame to the mirror? Also, what about the mirror holders and how they stick out farther than the mirrors surface?

@MakeSomething 8 лет назад

That came out great! Good use of crown molding!

@twolittlegirls2 7 лет назад

Wow ! Beautiful results and so easy.

@matt_williams1015 8 лет назад

That really dresses up the mirror, nice job Andy!

@arliniadrummonds84 6 лет назад

What type of molding did you use

@russmelton5684 3 года назад

I learned the hard why you stain the back of the frame - you can see everything in the reflection of the mirror!

@shay4101 2 года назад

I feel like this is a joke but I still have to ask 🤣

@joseabola4018 3 года назад

Nice mirror frame l will make one for my dauther OK tanks for the IDEA.

@nataliejohnson4124 5 лет назад

Is there anyway to build the Frame so that you’re not encroaching on the mirror? I want my frame to make my mirror a little bit bigger so it fills up the space I have in mind better.

@UTpaulsantos 7 лет назад

How did you put it flat in the mirror when there are clips on the sides?

@stevenw354 4 года назад

Used a thick tape

@seasawwoodworking 3 года назад

In doing mine, I pressed the frame against them to determine exact location. Then I used my router to insert a hole for it to fit perfectly snug against the mirror. I also used 3M Velcro strips for mine. Works way better than double sided tape.

@jw1731 3 года назад

When I made mine I didn’t have a router, so I marked the exact locations and figured out the depth, and drilled a few holes to take off as much material as possible, then chisel notched the rest. Made sure it sits flush against the mirror, and applied glue 2/3 of the way on the molding so the glue won’t show up in the reflection.

@richardalvarado-ik9br 6 лет назад

This can be done for picture frames too?

@AwesomeWoodThings 8 лет назад

I love simple projects that produce excellent results! Great work! It's always good to see the Festool Domino in videos. Until I get one I'll using my biscuit joiner. :-)

@MrPedagno 6 лет назад

Nicely done man, i need to get my hands on a reasonably priced joiner. Any recommendations?

@zaneblane8160 11 месяцев назад

What tape did you use?

@kurtwagner8270 7 лет назад

Is the mirror supposed to be showing on the outside of the frame on the right side?

@cavemanjoe7972 6 лет назад

Sam A $700 Festool Domino, some glue, and stain on a pre-made piece of crown moulding, improperly mounted, with no inset, does not a good craftsman make.

@irishpride9900 8 лет назад

I notice that you have four clips holding your mirror up. Mine is like that too, two top and two bottom. How is your wood sitting flush against the mirror with these clips hanging over the mirror to hold it in place? That's my biggest question when framing a mirror and I can't seem to find the answer. What did you do about the clips?

@GlassImpressions 8 лет назад

The molding has the relief cut so it would angle away from the mirror and clear the clips. Chiseling a little notch out where this sit would be perfectly okay.

@citticat2 2 года назад

Doesn't look like he made this frame long enough because I can see the mirror edge. Nice idea

@evelynm2530 7 лет назад

i just glued it piece by piece

@MarieAmicalola 4 года назад

Glue sounds easy. What kind?

@rchavez5056 4 года назад

Finally someone who doesn't want to just complain about not having expensive tools. Great job on finding an alternative for not having expensive clamps.

@susanyocum4846 7 лет назад

Just curious, but how will the frame sit flush when there are mirror hangers screwed, holding mirror to wall?

@kittkatt032 7 лет назад

Susan Yocum My mirror doesnt have any clamps holding it up. His must be glued on too.To answer your question.....

@stormywilliams3697 7 лет назад

You can see the clips in the video. I was wondering the same thing.

@GlassImpressions 7 лет назад

The back of the molding has a relief.

@stormywilliams3697 7 лет назад

dumb question.... Is that standard or something that you did? lol Also, Great video and I appreciate the quick reply!

@GlassImpressions 7 лет назад

Stormy Williams standard. It is the spring angle relief of the crown molding

@Pngiaca 8 лет назад

Is there a gap on the inside edge between the molding and the mirror, because the molding is crown on angles off?

@GlassImpressions 8 лет назад

Yes there is

@Pngiaca 8 лет назад

do you find this cause dirt to build up any more than a flat molding might?

@easystarallstar89 4 года назад

It's all about that clap. 👏

@Richie5480 2 года назад

The mirror is showing on the side.

@jamesmcintyre348 7 лет назад

Where did you get the cash for those super expensive tools? I see you also sphered on those Harbor Freight f style clamps. That said, thanks for the great info.

@lovelyb8207 4 года назад

Navy gurl exactly

@stevenw354 4 года назад

I was thinking the same thing: huge clamps, biscuit cutter, and so on. I will look into some tools as I have 4 mirrors to do. Also can you get the frame off if you wanted to?

@rchavez5056 4 года назад

People will always find excuses. SMH.

@JT_70 3 года назад

Lots of DIYers do. I have all them except the Domino but have a Porter Cable 557 biscuit cutter (plate jointer) for those corners.

I do

@mariavillarreal2082 8 лет назад

I rent, my questions is can it be removed?

@lauriepineiro893 6 лет назад

You could use command strips to adhere frame to mirror.

@cavemanjoe7972 6 лет назад

Maria Villarreal Or you could just have the landlord remove your mirror and then buy/make a nicer one.

Titled: make mirror frame with store bought stuff.... Uses festool domino to do job. I know it's unnecessary and the average Joe can still do this without it but it was still funny to me.

@ChrisCookPrime 5 лет назад

pretty sure you can buy the Domino at a store (for a reasonable $1299)

No measurement details on cutting your crowns to the measurement of the mirror.

@davycrockett4395 2 года назад

The real question is why do you have a camra in your bathroom 😳. Lol jk I assume to make video or whatever 🤷‍♂️nice job on the frame I had the same prob I added a real thin trim to the outside of it turned out nice.

@joeyshaw5485 2 года назад

I would have fastened the mirror to the frame, then hung it. If you ever have to remove the mirror, you're screwed.

@daisymae3021 5 лет назад

WOW, nice but...this isn’t for your typical DIY...you’d have to invest $$$$s in tools

@rchavez5056 4 года назад

Good excuse.

@kerirobicheaux6629 3 года назад

No, actually, I teach my clients how to do it and you do not need fancy tools at all.

@Arkinats 6 лет назад

The frame looks great and your instructions are very good too. But why take the time to make a great looking frame only to not level it when hanging. You also have some mirror sticking out on the right.

@shaynesabala Год назад

Cheesy

@rhiannonangell6828 7 лет назад

so i made it too . just by using woodprix woodworking plans:)

@dukesdukesdukes2289 7 месяцев назад
