Moving forward with the bathroom finishing work, I need to get the mirror frame made that matches the vanity. The overall size of the mirror with the frame is 35.5 inches wide and 33.5 inches tall and it was designed to match the width of the vanity.

That raised eyebrow though......The names Bond.......UniBond

That looks great John! Thanks for the tip with the screw in the key-slot, that's pretty clever I think. :-)

Looks Awesome. Economical plywood + great skill = excellent result

A lot of good info. Especially about putting the keyhole slots in the side rails and taping the screws in for marking the holes. Thanks.

Looks fantastic,I really like the dark stain.

Fantastic work as usual. Thanks for the tip about cutting two pieces at once for the miter. I've never been able to get mine to line up as nice as that. ☺

Awesome job John, love the color selection, and miter's look great as well!

Cool man. You're nonchalant attitude and subdued confidence gave me the motivation I need to do the exact same project.

Beautiful frame, and i never thought of the tip of 10:30, nice, thanks again Mr. Heisz, we never stop learning from you.

Great looking job John. And, as always, educational for us learners. Thanks

Great looking mirror frame. Also - very clever way of marking the location for the screws.

John handles a table saw like the pro that he is...drives the safety police nuts...👍👍👍

John I'm really like the sped up video with the normal talking. That just feels like the prefect balance of the two. Get the information and get to see you do most of the work!

Yeah this was a really well-produced video

I had the same task to do about a year ago on a rental. The mirror was larger, and set on a landscape plane. But because I was concerned about it staying on the wall, I purchased some special mirror adhesive guaranteed not to affect the mirror. Basically stuck the mirror on the wall and then used a frame I built, mitered and doweled to stick that on the wall. Oh, the frame you can buy at your big box, was just simple pine they had routed a nice profile on. I had to cut the rabbit for the mirror of course. Stained it similar in color to yours, but the width of it just a bit narrower. Hopefully it doesn't get broken, it will be difficult to fix. I love to see these types of videos, gives me more confidence that I'm doing things right (I hope anyways).

When I got a rod for in the kitchen for hanging things like utensils, etc... up from IKEA, in the instructions they specifically said to use that same method as you used with the screw in the keyhole, that way you could accurately locate where they should go. Simply put a level on it, then push a bit to mark the hole in the wall. It's very nice to see others confirm that that is a good way of doing it, certainly beats having to do all the measuring (besides getting the height off the ground correct).

Thanks for the tip on locating the tops of the keyholes. I would have used dowel centers, but your method is much better.

Love the idea of bedding the mirror with construction adhesive. I am gonna be doing a larger mirror, so may add mechanical fixings too.

Nice build, John. I liked your tip for hanging the mirror.

I like it. I learned a lot from you making this mirror framed that I’m going to include in my powder room project for my son condo unit. Rather than buying the finished expensive mirror frame from a furniture shop

Nice job on the mirror John. Plus nice mitres on Mitre saw. I like the tip on the Key hole slots and the tip of putting finish on the mitres . There was many more tips in this video.

Greg Tokley I agree... So many useful tips. I wouldn't have thought of adding extra stain/poly to the miter joints.

Amazing how good a bit of plywood can look. BTW your rock t-shirt collection is impressive!

Nice looking frame John. Great tip on the screw placement!

+1 on the tip for finding the correct location for screws to hang from a key hole. Thanks!

Great job john! Looking good!

Looks damn good is how it looks! Could've used this video series about 3 months ago. Would've made my life much easier.

Omg I need to fine a man just like you John lol.. I just came across all you’re channels and I’m just in heaven watching you build. You are so talented! I love to DIY with wood and make things but I have no instruction other than videos which is not bad by any means. I just would love to have a man that I could build things with and learn from and of course it’s always fun to have company ( well sometimes ) it definitely is my therapeutic time that’s for sure lol.. Anyways I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you for sharing such great, well informed videos. I will continue having marathons on you’re channel for inspiration and techniques 😘 your admirer Kimberly hahaha

Good job. Thanks for the screw as a marking gauge tip.

Looks great John. Tfs.

Very nicely done

lovely work john as usual!!

nice result John!

looks wonderful !

The thumbnail looks like the beginning of an SNL Stuart Smalley skit :) The bathroom is coming along great!

I'm udderly impressed, great video!

Looks great, I like the screw in the keyhole trick

Great idea with the screws.What ratio do you use when mixing stain and poly?

Looks really nice.

Always enjoy you videos, great work.

Another great video thanks John

Nicely done!

BLUE OYSTER CULT! FTW! I have tickets for their concert in January.

Looks great. You da man. One question. How is the material you used considered plywood ???? Looks liked veneered particle board. You are usually specific and to the point, what gives ?? Are you calling it plywood because it does have veneer and you are considering those the plies ?? Just curious. Love the channels. Keep up the good work.

Very well done!

Nice finishing work...I also like the "No one cares that you're offended" T-shirt.

it looks great.

How's that look? Damned spot on, John!!

I like the flow of this video.

Great looking frame John! You were different in this video.... not sure how, but it was pleasant to watch.

Dude you are amazing ❤️Just joined your channel. ❤️

great job

Looks good!

Looks good.

Howz it look? It looks bloody perfect mate 👍

Very nice!

Looks GREAT!!! forget new, will refurbish my existing medicine cabinet. Thanks john.

Any concerns about the moisture in the BR compromising the adhesive? I've used silicone to make 10 mirrors over the years, but the glass folks feel I need a back to protect the adhesion if it's going in a bathroom.

nice keyhole pre drill tip, thank you

Excellent!

Very nice t-shirt dude! Haha. The frame looks great, congrats!!

Looks nice.🏛🎧

Very nice

Please tell me that shirt is your merch! If not you should totally have some, I’m sure most of us would enjoy repping you!! Watched every single video you’ve made😊👍🏻

what's the construction adhesive brand you used in this video? I'm in the process of building a mirror frame myself and hadn't thought of using adhesive to secure the mirror...

Amazing beautiful paint stain you have there, what is it and what color? Very nice work John:)

Looks great John. Is the spray finish the danish oil that you mix up?

I love the t-shirt message.

If you had the mirror before making the frame, would it better to just use a jigsaw to cut the frame rectangle right from the sheet?

Looks good to me. If I was an inspector, I'd buy it.

the look at the finish hahaha, nice project

Great Video John........Question, How did you achieve level on that mirror install, great eye or is that corner plumb enough? Anybody? Thumbs Up again John

Great!

Thanks fore the video.

silly question, is there a workaround if i don't own the biscuit jointer?

sorry, what router bit did you use for the screw slot?

What is the mathematical equation for determining the length of each side when using miter cuts? And, how wide are your rabbets?

What size bit did you use in the joiner?

How come I can’t see how you made the lip where mirror sits

That screw tip is cool. I don’t need a wire and a hook

@12:43 ... one of my regrets in life is never being able to master the "raise one eyebrow" thing... Sigh. Great looking frame. Nice tip with the keyhole technique.

Plywood frame looks great

Nice mirror.

whats ur top three favorite bands

When miter cutting finish wood like your mirror frame...do you angle the miter saw in (just a few degrees), to insure the "tightness" of the exposed miter fit?

@IBuildItHome

Undercut? No.

An honest question, from someone with limited construction experience who would like to learn from a greybeard: when you're working on a site, and there's the plywood type you used here, as well as the type that laypeople think of when they hear the word "plywood," how would you distinguish between the two? I.e., the foreman says 'Grab me a sheet of plywood,' how do you know exactly what he wants? I'm assuming the two types aren't interchangeable in their use. Thanks for the great videos; I learn a lot from your work.

You ask "How does that look?". Wel sir fantastic is the right word here.

looks like veneered particle board ?

How is that look? mean you or the mirror ;-) you are the best budget utuber

It looks like plywood but it seems to be "PAL" (in my country or particle board in different areas) , any way doesn't matter the material the frame looks 10+ (or A+) i liked the trick with the miters ;). Keep up the good job and good health John :)

It's called "particleboard core plywood" in USA/CA. The outer plies are real wood veneer.

in my country i don't think that the outer plies are from real wood ;)) .... because in my country (Ro) we can buy pfl, hdf etc. that have one face looks like wood but it's not made from real wood.... but this is a topic for another day ;))

how thick is the mirror?

I commend you on not breaking the mirror especially during the an unwrapping of it whew

Did you ever make the drawers?

also is that oak plywood?

What type of wood?

LOVE the t shirt!!!!

How do you know how deep you want your rabbit so that the mirror is snug. Do you first see how thin the mirror is ?

Kind of impressive how he have his hands hugging the blade. I don’t trust my half ass used table saw that’s missing half of the parts that much yet.

I love that shirt!!!!!!!

awesome screw marking trick. worth watching just for that. I don't have all the tools that you have.

Like the Shirt!

OMG That shirt: Nobody cares that you're offended! Love it!
