I own 100% of the audio and visual content in this video. Intro music and main song were created for me by my brother in law, Trey Harris!

Dude, the custom wooden mirror brackets are genius. Fabulous work!

[@brendabarber2317]

Im very impressed with this project. Thank you for sharing how you did it!

[@elishacole6059]

Perfect. Straight to the point. Great instructions and tips for getting a "rustic" look. Thanks!

[@mozes42]

Simple AND eye catching. You just can’t beat it! Well done

[@ree1853]

This is by far the EASIEST tutorial that I've seen so far on making a frame for a standing mirror. It looks awesome. Thanks so much!!!!!!!

[@bernicewonderland6000]

Wow, this looks amazing!!! Thank you for sharing, I can't wait to make my own.

[@tamarahenggeler4491]

Love this! I am pretty sure my hubby would handle this project. Thank you!

[@savannahliz]

This looks amazing! Thanks for the tutorial, will definitely do this to my square mirror.

[@lavernpeart7023]

So good! And so simple! 👏🏽👏🏽

[@reeseklien3131]

Thank you for explaining how to do this. I am making one for my daughters class at her Catholic School for their fundraising auction class project. I’m going to brand each of their initials into the rustic wood after I’m done. Can’t wait to see the end product!! Thanks again

[@bondpaz]

Oh heck yeah! Brain WILL be making this for me once the house is complete! Nice work Joe! I’m going way back! 5years! Time sure does fly.

[@TrevorSherk44]

Wow, that's really nice! Very clever way to make a rustic mirror with the rock and lag screw dings

[@tracygass3260]

Hello Joe, just wanted to say thanks a lot for this video. I helped my kids build this for my for wife for Mother's Day and it was a big hit. Great Job!

[@gladysfoy1508]

What a great idea of you.......it came out beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing

[@NadjaAfi]

Amazing! Great work! I love mirrors!

[@purplesummerfarmstead7665]

This looks great. Thanks for a great diy video to follow along.

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

Clever way to create the rabbet for the mirror - Loving the rustic look, great build.

[@drtomasdds]

Beautiful simple project. Nice work.

[@Wood-Renovations]

Another great way to add distress marks is a short piece of chain. I have a piece that's about a foot long that I welded some old nuts and bolts and other random pieces of metal on that really make some unique and random markings. Another great video! 👍🏻

[@katherineallen4387]

OH GOODNESS THANX FOR SHARING THIS...MY DAUGHTER HAS MIRROR AND WANTS A WOOD FRAME...YES IM SO GLAD YOU MADE IT EASY FOR BEGINNERS LIKE ME...THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN...CANT WAIT TO SEE MORE PROJECTS...

[@reginarodriguez7725]

This is beautiful, thank you for this video!

[@ashleykayemumpower1839]

This was a great video! I'd try it myself if I didnt have a sweet little 3 month old! I'll see if my hubs will watch and get inspired. Thank you for making this video!

[@jacquelinealbornoz6702]

Great tips! The easiest way to make the frame. Thanks

[@raymustaine3274]

Awesome work!!! Thanks for sharing my friend !!!

[@mikezbreski27]

I’m looking to make some bathroom mirrors and watched this to get an idea of how it’s done. Yours turned out really nice. Good work.

[@rayp450]

That came out beautifully, well done sir

[@legitathena]

Awesome job! Thank you so much, will be showing hubby. I'm hoping to make a sliding barn door with a mirror! This video should help out a lot! :)

[@felen4261]

short yet very easy to follow, thank you so much for this

[@fluffyjoker69]

Looks great. I have a living room table I bought back in 1990, it's survived 2 boys banging toys & everything else on it since then. I sanded it so new stain would adhere to it & it really has that vintage look. My in laws thought I bought a new table & wondered where I bought it, lol. Makes it look like an antique...I guess it is.

[@uktony1525]

What a fantastic project and I bet it got you into your wife's good books!.

[@homesteadonomics]

+UK Tony hahaha… Thanks Tony! Joe

[@candiceturner8951]

What a great husband for making that gorgeous mirror for your wife. God bless you.

[@homesteadonomics]

thanks Candice! Joe

[@ronnieves2398]

I love the simplicity of the build with simple tools and how awesome it turned out. There are no routers, table saw jigs, wood planers , drill press ( all of which I have except the drill press). Keep up the great work, subscribed!

[@MrTscates]

Great job...easy enough for a single lady to do it!

[@steviegsb]

Great job! My wife wanted something similar, this has given me some inspiration Thanks.

[@homesteadonomics]

+Stevie Bridges That's great to hear Stevie! It's a quick and easy project that I think she'll love! Thanks for watching:) Joe

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks so much Greg!

[@3underpar68]

Awesome! .... Great video ... Thanks

[@janicewoods3072]

Thank you for the simple instructions on how to do this project. I've been looking for a mirror like this, they are very expensive. Thanks again, love the video!

[@homesteadonomics]

Glad you liked it Janice! Yes, I like to make things as simple as I can so I can wrap my own brain around it:) thanks for watching and the nice words too:) joe

[@IANE3177]

It's beautiful!!!

[@LetsDoMath]

Thanks for making this project look so possible for non-woodworkers. My only woodworking experience is building a deck. Your video makes me feel like I can DO this! I have a nasty old builder-grade mirror that I took down (you know those rusty brown bits at the bottom...? Well I haven't been brave enough to destroy it to get rid of it. And I have an old deck to take down with weathered cedar boards. It's nasty on the deck, when the wasps come for nest building material, but it'll be fantastic on a rustic mirror frame! I think I can remake it better than the sum of its original parts. Just like you did. Thanks for inspiring and empowering me.

[@worthydailyhairart]

Wow!! So simple 👍🏽

[@jenm524]

Fantastic! Plain, elegant and rich looking. Very cool and a great idea and job. I love it - thank you for the simple instructions👍👍👍

[@homesteadonomics]

Cool! Glad you liked it Jennifer! Joe

[@SheVotesByMail]

You are really good with wood. Thanks for giving me the courage to try something similar.

[@roxanahigueras3103]

Excelente. Me encantó! Esta genial👏👏👍

[@user-kp7gb4hs8q]

I'm a little late but I am attempting this. The tutorial is epic helpful and i adore the rustic look with rocks to make small indentations in the wood before i stain it! The pocket screws will be a challenge for me but I'll see what i do.

[@siulagrande1984]

Great vid. Wife wants one now.

[@mi-micanterbury2275]

[@kslinthesand]

Great work Joe, you just saved me some money and helped me out of a bind. Typically I'd buy you a carton (case) of beer. ;)

[@Irwin-Aviation]

That mirror has some really nice character. Nice job making it.

[@homesteadonomics]

+Black Widow Woodworks Thanks BWW!

[@sollandazuri]

homesteadonomics hi. Could you tell me what colour is the wood stain you used. The final product is fantastic. Amazing Job. !!!

[@antoniof.munozrecio9537]

es precioso!!!! gracias por enseñarnos tu trabajo. Saludos desde Barcelona, España.

[@homesteadonomics]

+Antonio F. Muñoz Recio ¡muchas gracias!Siempre es divertido ver lo que se puede obtener de una paleta :)Joe

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That looks great. The 'adding character' process looked very scientific!

[@homesteadonomics]

+Robin Lewis Thanks Robin! It was very technical for sure! LOL

[@callsignrasp9276]

Looks great! Very nice

[@homesteadonomics]

+Nicoli Miller Thanks Nicoli!

[@diy-chris1332]

[@robertjanez7467]

good job, thanks for posting. very economical (Pine wood). If you had a router - you could add some flair by routing the outer and inner edge.

[@FCSM-dc9pq]

Ты молодец!!!! Хорошая работа!!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

It looks awesome! Great job :)

[@homesteadonomics]

[@homesteadonomics]

+Seth Drew Thanks so much Seth! Joe

[@mrrobin3728]

What I like about it is that it actually looks pretty simple.

[@ginapetit1770]

Love this so much! You inspired me to definitely try it and to finally buy the mini kreg jig i've been thinking about investing in!

[@homesteadonomics]

Awesome to hear Gina! Joe

[@BraxtonWirthlin]

Awesome work, Joe! Quick, easy, and you're keeping your wife happy at the same time. Can't beat that!

[@homesteadonomics]

+Braxton Wirthlin thanks Braxton! Yes, this is a super easy project and except for letting the stain and glue dry only maybe had an hour and a half in the actually cutting, glueing, screwing, staining, etc,. And the funny thing is… you'll be the first to know… this one, I actually sold on craigslist and built another one just like it that is in our bedroom. So the one on the video essentially made our current one free!! Joe

[@BraxtonWirthlin]

That's the way to do it! On an unrelated note I recently attended a meeting of the local gardeners club here in the small town I live in. The subject of the meeting was bee keeping, so I got the contact info from the lady ho was doing the presentation and hopefully will have my first hive of bees this spring. Im pretty excited about it hahaha.

[@homesteadonomics]

+Braxton Wirthlin hahaha...noooo... that's actually sooo related Braxton! I'm sitting here loading video from my first honey harvest I had yesterday! I have four stings on my hand, but don't let that worry you as these are feral and slightly more aggressive Africanized bees and I was a bit rushed and rough when I opened the hive (or that's what I here... everything feral in AZ is Africanized). But it's such a cool thing to get into! I've been very 'trial and error' with my learning so far, but if you've already attended a meeting and are getting some good education/mentorship, you're already 5 steps ahead of where I started! I'm looking forward to hearing about your progress! Joe

[@anasalguera2085]

I've been thinking of doing a mirror like this for the last two weeks but haven't. I'm totally going to do it now.

[@morrostreettrucks_5697]

Awesome work👌🏽

[@rubengalindo1821]

Great job on the mirror !!!

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks Ruben:) Joe

[@craig18021971]

Cheers! Just found a large mirror that was dumped, but has a crappy looking frame. I will be knocking this up today for sure, plus it gives me brownie points with the Mrs which is never a bad thing lol.

[@BBsheepy]

This is awesome, great job!

[@homesteadonomics]

thanks Veronica! Joe

[@laabispa91]

Now I know how to make my wood look a little beat up. thanks!:)

[@homesteadonomics]

Thanks for watching Ana! Yes, the beat up rustic look is a technical process... but it's gotta be done;) I like it in the fact that it covers up any mess ups I make along the way :D Joe

[@tooljunkie555]

that turned out really nice and dirty looking. i love projects like this. good stuff.

[@homesteadonomics]

+Joe basementwoodworking Thanks Joe!

[@TBAVN]

homesteadonomics :D

[@Portland_with_Penelope]

Another really great video! Thanks! I know you've already built it but if you ever need a video idea, I would LOVE to see how you made that sliding barn door. Those doors are so popular these day, I bet a lot of people would like to learn how to build them. Thanks!

[@homesteadonomics]

+Tiffany R Thanks Tiffany! My wife says I ought to do a video on the barn door too…. but I want to be able to show how to build it… so perhaps I might take a photo of this one and put it on craigslist and then if someone wants to buy it… I'll make a custom one and take a video of the process! …or maybe I could just do an overview? Anyways, thanks for watching! Joe

[@bixo5191]

Te ha quedado GENIAL!!!

[@homesteadonomics]

+Jose Antonio Lorente Castilla Thanks Jose! Muchas Gracias! Joe
