U-Build-It 2
| I
am going to quickly show the different steps in the process. On
this page I am focussing on building the top and bottom frames which
will house the mirror on the bottom and the Plexiglas on the top. Click on an image to see a larger one |

Before routing out the grooves, make sure you are making the proper sized cut. The mirror will be 1/8" but the Plexiglas will be 1/4". Also as Larry mentions, make sure you are routing from the same edge so that the grooves all line up properly. After routing the grooves for the mirrors, as per Larry Lund's instructions, I painted a base coat of gray. I followed that up by sponging some black paint and some white paint. I created texture by adding some dry cement mix to the paint three different paints; the gray, the white and the black. |

to paint these frames before assembling them!

This is the assembled bottom unit with the mirror. The plate mirror is on the other side. It is supported by the plywood as well as the brace running through the middle. Again these are the same steps as found on Larry Lund's site. |
