- This Maker Gray tutorial shows how I made a metal frame for a bathroom mirror. I also cover how I hung this metal mirror 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.

Badass! That's a great first welding project.
Thanks Buddy :)
Good Job. Simple,straight on point yet very neat and almost perfectly perfect. I'm loving this
Thanks so much! I appreciate it :)
Lol i don’t comment on videos much lol nor do i usually watch them all the way through however this was pretty interesting and intriguing even though this honestly wasn’t the video I was looking for lol …but this opened up some new ideas on a new approach for what I’m actually to accomplish, I have some already existing frameless mirrors that I recently took down from a few bathrooms in my home and these mirrors are very big lol the wife had other “cute framed” mirrors that she purchased for each of the bathrooms instead however I just couldn’t find myself parting ways with the old bathroom mirrors that were previously glued to the walls so I came up with an idea to turn these 3 big amazing mirrors into one big trifold wardrobe mirror 😅 Which I’ll be honest, almost feels and seems intimidating to even accomplish lol this trifold mirror is going to be inside a room that I’m currently turning into a massive closet after I decided to turn our big his and hers walk-in closet into a big “hers-dressing room”. I truly believe this project is accomplish-able but I just haven’t started because I wasn’t sure how to tackle it exactly, I know I need to at least start by framing them with metal instead of wood for better support of course but then they will also need to be hinged so they may be able to fold in or out lol and it’s still seems intimidating just talking about it now actually, anyway if you have any advice I’d greatly appreciate it 🙏
Nicely done! 👍👊
Looks great!
Love the design a lot! Well done!
Thanks so much!
This is a badass project! Just hopped over from April’s Instagram post . Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store!
Thanks so much Brendan!!

Just found you through @wilkerdos and I love you vids .
Thanks so much!
Looks awesome! I need to get into some welding myself I think, haha.
John the Schreiner Thanks!! I can’t wait to weld again :)
Cool mirror! Ain't welding great? BTW, came over here from April's video.
Kortt Wulfe Hey Thanks so much!! And yeah welding is so great! :)
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 ?
nice job. any advice for those without access to a welding shop?
Thanks! If you don't have access to a shop, this one is affordable and could get the job done. I've had my eye on it for awhile: amzn.to/2VWrZoG
