Dressing Mirror
|
Below are pictures of my Dressing Mirror
project. This piece is designed to sit on a dressing
table, or as I use it, on top of a chest of drawers. I
got tired of trying to comb my hair while looking over my
wifes shoulder in front of our bedroom dresser, and while
browsing a local antique shop for project ideas I came
across a mirror something like this. I snapped a quick
photo and later designed my version. |
|
The piece is about 18" wide at the base and 8"
deep. The mirror is 15" square. It is built of Black
Walnut. The knobs were turned from the same stock. The
mirror frame rotates to adjust the viewing angle. |
|
This is a front-on view, and that is me and my
Olympus C-700 capturing the moment. Nice digital camera
model if you happen to be shopping. |
Below is a closer view of the
construction details. The top is joined to the sides with
through dovetails. The bottom shelf, the drawer dividers,
and the mirror uprights are all joined using sliding
dovetails. |
