There are many on the market or you can go to your local Makerspace. It is always nice to put a logo on the back of your mirrors. Keep the top tab on the mirror as this is going to be used for the dado cut out fixture. If you leave a lot of stock on the part before you router it on the router table you will end up chipping out your stock.Īfter you are close on your mirror handle with the bandsaw you can rout it out with the router bit that has the same sized bearing on the top of it as the size of the cutter. When you use the first jig you screw your wood to the jig and then use the bandsaw to cut around the fixture as close as you can without cutting the fixture itself. The other was for the cutting of the dado for the mirror insert and has lines drawn on it so that I can use the top of the first jig hole to locate the second jig. You can see this one above in the photo alongside the mirror handle. One was for the wood itself and was used with the bandsaw. Luckily I used some scrap plywood to test this out on so that I made sure that the mirror would fit into the dado nicely. It turned out to be a little different and this caused me some consternation during the building of the template to cut the mirror out. The mirror was 4" in diameter according to the packing slip. I first drew my mirror up in the Fusion 360 program and extruded it out to. Make up a few different designs and see what you like best. If you use a photo editing program you can scale it or you can just draw your own freehand. Above you can find a picture of the mirror. Copy of the picture that you want to make.Supply of wood 1/2" thick by 6" wide and long enough to hold the mirror.Some tools that you will need to build this project. You can also use this building template technique on different items as it works good for many things. You can find mirrors of different sizes from the internet or even from Joann Fabrics or Hobby Lobby. It was a learning experience although I have been doing woodworking for over 45 years I haven't stopped learning. I learned a lot along the way and will share with you my findings so that you won't have to go through the same process that I did. I decided to use a couple of templates to make the job go a bit faster. I purchased some round four inch mirrors from the internet because I wanted build some hand mirrors.
