I am 63 years old, got up early sweating about what and how I am going repair and update my 88 year old mother's home and then ran across one of your videos and now have been glued to your site. I see most of my day is planned out, a date with you and your family and your amazing videos. You have given me so many fabulous ideas that are exactly that have been rolling around in my head for months. Thank you so much for all of the details you have shared. It has been so encouraging. Now off to another video.

[@francisyoung-xo1pe]

such a great way to reuse old wood!! I'm so amazed. Wish I could make something like this

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@andrewtyson890]

FYI, the silicone will eat the silvering off the back of a mirror long term. I recommend using liquid nail. Silicone is fine for the face of the mirror, just not the backside. Love the woodworking!

[@shannontank5375]

You did a great job! You made it easy to understand how to do it. Me and my wife are learning how to do it to make a great income comen forward

[@omarcanto312]

This inspired me bro, I have some mirrors I need to frame up but I had no idea what to do. I'm gonna try this. Thanks man!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Omar Canto your welcome dude, it’s an easy build and makes a big difference. Have fun

[@nuruzzamansarker9298]

Then how did you set it up on the wall Please can you upload a video about that ? Please I really need to know . Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

[@iroargyrou552]

excellent job but how to hang on the wall safely?

[@Scott_Wilkins]

Thanks so much for this. I'm literally about to start the exact same build with tamboti live edge. The only thing that worries me is that silicon holding it up long term. Obviously hung horizontally its not much of an issue. But if I wanted it to hang vertically would the silicon be enough to hold it?

[@RadDadBuilds]

Since making this video ive found out you can buy a mirror adhesive/sealent. The silicone in this video is still holding strong but if you're concerned I would check that out.

[@stevenparr3242]

Hi - excellent work there. I am making a similar project using Yew - 6' long. My concern is the wood moving over time and the stress on the glass. Are you confident the silicone will allow for that movement without cracking the mirror ?

[@RadDadBuilds]

So good question. First of all I wouldn't recommend using a wood that is likely going to move, especially mixing it with glass/ mirror. I used a kiln dried maple which sealed correctly and used in a dry environment shouldn't have much movement. That said I used silicone instead of a construction adhesive or clips to allow for minor movement. off the top of my knowledge silicone is the most flexible adhesive on the market. I know Home Depot and probably other big box stores have come out with a specific mirror silicone which in the future I would likely use. I hope this helps. Also be careful of Yew Wood as the sawdust can be poisonous.

[@jaleagonzales2962]

How big of a mirror did you use 60" by what?

[@sanjivnaik6865]

Nice job mate.How did you fix and secure it to the wall?

[@dtok5956]

Wow cost IT,could You tell me?

[@BushPilotB]

Great Work :) !

[@RadDadBuilds]

Bushmaster B Thanks dude

[@MichaelMunyaka]

Thanks for sharing. Would like to know what i can use instead of Odie's oil. Can boiled linseed oil do the job?I'm in Zambia btw.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Yea boiled linseed should work though I have never used it. Odies and osmo oil are the only brands I use. I know they both ship worldwide but I imagine it comes with a price tag.

[@MichaelMunyaka]

@@RadDadBuilds Thanks for your response.

[@justinengevik7626]

Wonderfull craftsmanship. I really like the detail you put into in this video, are you short on cutting boards ?

[@DobryChloooopak85]

The frame is hold by a mirror. if the mirror breaks = break the frame I do it a different way.

[@RadDadBuilds]

It’s been like it for 4+ years. I think it’s fine

[@gyulakovacs1334]

Cool.

[@wandakowalski7063]

Love this video ... Really dislike the fake, synthesized, repetitive background music! Thanks a bunch anyway!

[@RadDadBuilds]

I knew I should have gone with death metal. At least now I now for next time. Thanks 🤙

[@sabersaw5611]

Lovely

[@RadDadBuilds]

Thankyou

[@stallionranchwoodworks]

Nice job on the mirror. Drop the funky music though, its not needed.

[@tolyagolubev9582]

Бро, хорошая работа)

[@lionelfaure85]

DIY? Not so sure. Looks great though.

[@batmanandrobin1587]

Video is great but the music is awful.

[@wandakowalski7063]

Oh, I'm not a prude but I really don't understand the opening shot of you pulling your pants ... I thought you were in the bathroom! It's not funny and detracts from a nice video.

[@RadDadBuilds]

Sorry Wanda, it won’t happen again.

[@wandakowalski7063]

You are funny rad dad and thanks for your reply! You won't be getting lumps of coal at Xmas after all!

[@RadDadBuilds]

Wanda Kowalski 😅 I have to keep it light as I get a lot of comments that are genuinely mean. I appreciate your kind words though. 🤙🤙
