Project 15830EZ:
Vanity Mirror
Mirrors are a perennial favorite, and the
term “vanity” is perhaps the key to their
popularity. Whether you make only one or
several hundred for sale at fairs or galler-
ies, the simple yet elegant lines of this
piece are likely to make a hit. The entire
project can be made from 1" thick stock.
We chose cherry, but the mirror would look
good in just about any attractive wood,
including pine.

Vanity Mirror Complete Schematic
Vanity Mirror Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Cut Parts A, C, E, F, and G to size.
2. Use a router table with a 1/4" straight bit and a pair of guide blocks to cut
the spline mortises in Parts A (Fig. 1).
3. Make four successive cuts each one removing 1/8" of material, to achieve
the 1/2" depth of the mortises.
4. Round the hardwood splines (Parts B) to fit the routed mortises (Fig. 2).
5. Assemble the arch sections as illustrated in step 1.
6. Attach Parts C to Part E using a bar or pipe clamp to apply pressure.
7. Use a band or saber saw to shape the arch.
8. Complete the frame as shown in step 2 using the correct clamps.
9. Sand the arch to smooth the transition to the side sections.
10. Tenon Parts F (Fig. 3) and glue them into the base (Part G).
11. Use a 3/4" flat head screw, drilled and counter-bored, to anchor Parts F to
Part G.
12. Use the router table to rout the 1/4" by 1/4" rabbet around the inner edge of
the back that will hold the mirror.
13. Use brass oval head screws to attach the mirror frame to the supports, en-
abling the mirror to pivot.
14. Rub in several coats of tung oil, buffing the frame and base with 0000 steel
wool between coats.
15. Mount the mirror in the frame with triangle points.
16. Glue felt to the bottom of the base.
