    Default standing mirror

    Here are some pics of my new mirror... I had some trouble with this timber, Merbough I think??? If there even is such a timber. I posted that problem in the timber forum. But it stands straight and I can see myself in it so it must be a success. ish
    edit* i was amazed at the the colour change with danish oil! this was the first time i used it the thried photo is the finished product, it went from a yellow honey color to redish purple? bizarre... maybe not
    It also my first crack at an inlay, got my hand router working well, smooth
    later

    That's very nice Steve. What equipment did you use, apart from the router?

    Tools... very very basic.
    A crosscut hand saw for Ripping!!! I spent a whole day on that... my right bicep is huge now!
    A tenon saw
    My #5 plane, a scrapper, and a cordless drill that goes flat every three screws grrr!

    Oh and i got a loan of a jigsaw to shape the bottom, and I managed to use a spoke shave the shape of the bottom.

    I think that’s it???
    No I Lie.
    I had to borrow my father’s electric router to route the two rebates in the back, one for the mirror and a wider one for the backing board. As I haven’t a rebate plane yet (if that’s what there called) com’on ebay!
