DIY Metal Framed Mirror | How to Make
This Maker Gray tutorial shows how I made a metal frame for a bathroom mirror. I also cover how I hung it on the wall. This was my first time welding and it was a ton of fun! I’m super happy with how the project turned out.

This is a badass project! Just hopped over from April’s Instagram post . Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store!
Badass! That's a great first welding project.
Cool mirror! Ain't welding great? BTW, came over here from April's video.
Just found you through @wilkerdos and I love you vids .
you said early in this tutorial you wanted a 1/4" reveal around the mirror but you did not use 1/4" spacers when gluing up to keep the mirror centered & once you put the mirror in the contact cement won't allow any movement to make the reveal equal on all sides. was this an overbite or am I missing something ?
Brilliant…I will try…
Love the design a lot! Well done!
Excellent!!
nice job. any advice for those without access to a welding shop?
