Mirror with Shelf

VOXELS

A few hours in the workshop are all that's needed to build this eye-catching ovai mirror. Ours is made from pine, much in keeping with its Early American style.

The frame (part C) can be made first. Cut % in. thick stock to a width of 9 in. and a length of 22 in,, then mark the location of the Vt in. deep by V* in, wide dado for the shelf (part A). The dado can be cut with the dado head cutter or by making repeated passes over the sawblade.

Next, referring to the drawing, transfer the profile from the grid pattern to the stock. To cut out the oval, first drill a Vt in. hole in the waste stock, then with this as a starting point, use a saber saw to cut out the opening. The outer profile can be cut out with a band or saber saw.

The shelf (part A) is made from a piece of V* in. thick stock measuring AVt in, wide by 9 in. long. Use a compass to lay out a 4Vj in. radius, noting that the radius is centered at a point Vt in. from the back edge of part A.

After making part B, all parts can be thoroughly sanded. Part A can now be glued in place and secured with finishing nails. Part B can now be glued and clamped in place. When dry, drill through from the back for Vt in. dowels as shown. The mirror is held in place with five mirror clips as shown.

Stain to suit and finish with two coats of polyurethane. wvj
