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.

a project that doesn’t need to be square, my favorite!

Ha! Good eye!

Walnut is a great pick. It took a lot of time, but turned out great and high quality as always. Keep up the great work as the goal is for us to continue to inspire others to build something awesome! 👍🏼

Dude, your bandsaw call was brilliant! I love this concept.

Très beau et vraiment original félicitation

This was the video I needed tonight. Sometimes you just get tired of plumb, straight and square. People will always talk about that mirror because it’s not a perfect square and that’s awesome.

I've never heard the sound made when someone cuts glass before... definitely a sound to remember!

Thanks for the peek inside your creative mind and the thought process that went into this build. The mirror looks fantastic!

Thanks for making this lovely custom design accessible for beginner folks like me by walking through your step by step process so clearly!

It’s beautiful

Extremely good timing that this came up as a suggestion! I want to make an almost identical mirror for my new bathroom! 👍

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

Absolutely gorgeous and fun project!

That’s AWESOME! Thank you for sharing!

Just wow… loved the “lets just figure this out” approach here… got to be honest, i want to steal this design/idea/inspiration for my own house.

It turn out very nice. :thumbsup

The mirror really turned out great. Freehanding it was definitely the way to go for that space

Awesome build and learned something new about cutting glass/mirror. Thank you for sharing. You are truly an inspiration to just try.

So beautiful!

Love it. Walnut is such a beautiful wood.

Sometimes I like geometric shapes, sometimes I like organic shapes. What can I say? I'm a complex guy. This looks very cool. Thanks for sharing!

I want a Mickey Mouse mirror for our Steamboat Willie bathroom I just built, and finding exactly what I want has proven beyond difficult. This is exactly what I needed right now. I'm thinking I could maybe actually do this now. Thanks a lot!

That's pretty cool and I dig the glass cutting tips.

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.

Gorgeous! Nice piece

Super slick! Loved this!

Pieces like that make me wish for a bigger table on my bandsaw. Looks like yours came out great even with the juggling required!

The autotune at 12:26 caught me offguard and made me chuckle! Great video as well as fantastic project .... like always!

Love this one David!

Just now seeing this video for some reason, I mean I have seen a lotttt of your videos this one I guess slipped through the cracks lol...but I love the project and it warms my heart to know that you make "not the safest cuts" too...I'm not alone 😂

I would have thought that a funky, "organic" shape like that would drive me nuts, but that turned out really cool.

Found this on my for you page and I couldn't stop watching. You have a new subscriber.

Dave is one of the very creative woodworker I see on the net. I love your vids.

Fantastic work, Dave! Nicely done! 😃 I really liked the shape! Brilliant! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Cool. You made it look easy too. Might have to try this.

Love this piece, great video man!

would be cool to (1) talk about technique for things you’re doing (eg cutting mirror) and (2) talk about alternatives for people who don’t have every woodworking tool in the world

Not square but presented by Squarespace...lovin' it!

Nice mirror and house looks awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job

Thank you soo much for making this video! I have an antique mirror I cannot part with that shattered during a move & now I can fix it 😭💕

Looks great 👍

You know what else you should create in your own style? An awesome, desktop, wooden candy dispenser!!!

Nicely done. Looks great in your home.

excellent! I'll be starting to build the off grid cabin in few weeks, and I'll "steal" your organic shapes idea, and patent it.

wow that most deferentially very different. cool and off the wall. keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work. keep making. god bless.

So great!!!!

Awesome 👍

This is excellent. Now I wanna go make some mirrors. Beautiful work!

This should be easy. I make odd shaped everything. You should see this desk. Great video!

You have a similar way of talking, similar to Joe Koy, the comedian. I say that in a good way 🥰

This was very inspirational. I have been struggling, some may say working, on a entryway bench/coat rack for my mother. At the rate I am going I will be inheriting the house before I complete this going on 2yr project.

I like it😁😎

Good luck brother,

Just an awesome, inspirational, vid. Could do it with a jigsaw or a coping saw (i don't have a bandsaw), you could do the 'roundover' freehand with a rasp and/or sander to add another dimension of organic shape. Love it.

Immediately makes me think of the "Guardian of Forever" from Star Trek: The Original Series

Nice job Dave. Looks great :)

Looks fantastic, and is a very cool design. The shape sort of reminds me of the inners of a Wankel rotary engine. Zoom zoom!

Nice video! It's funny we still call it "mid-century" when that was last century!

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.

I'm always impressed by the creativity of your channel but this is just awesome. i want desperately to copy this, my only obstacle is finding a wall in the house that needs a mirror

TIL Cameraman Dan is a vampire.

Did Square Space have any issuses with it sponsoring a rounded project? Looks pretty sweet. I like that you thunk outside the box to make this one of a kind frames. It's also a good way to use up material scraps.

Hi David love the shape of that mirror , I can see myself making one of these , see what I did there ,G

This was a great tutorial!! What hardware would you choose if you wanted to mount it fully to the wall for a bathroom mirror?

Nice job on the mirror cutting. I was 😬 the whole time.

I imagine I'm not the first to comment with this but I've had good luck getting cheap mirrors from thrift stores and dollar stores. Removing them from their frames is usually pretty easy as long as they're not glued in.

Good video, buuuuut you did this the hard way by making it overly complicated lol tho it’s very creative!!

Loved the freehand design!! I'm stressed out by the very pointy shards of glass sitting in your shop rn 😅😆
