This is another quick project, my beautiful and talented wife asked for a mirror for the hallway so she could check her outfit before leaving the house. I found a company that does custom glass on the internet ( https://www.onedayglass.com/ ) and after some mocking up with tape on the wall I ordered a nice custom sized mirror from them. They did a great job and it came well packed and exactly as specified.
I had an off cut of Sapele which was a good dimension for a frame so I cut it down to 1” x 1” and then I put a profile on both front edges that responds to the mill work in the hallway. I put in a 1/2” x 1/4” rabbet on the inside of the back to receive the 1/4” thick mirror and a 1/4” thick plywood backer.
After sanding I glued up the frame and reinforced the corner joints with one #8 x 1 1/2” finish screw placed so you wouldn’t see them when the mirror is hung up in the hallway.
I put a coat of General Finishes Hard Wax Oil on the frame and once that was dry enough I assembled the mirror holding in the back with framing points. I put hanging hardware on it.
I put a piece of 3/4” plywood between the door frames and behind where the mirror would be so I would have a surface to hang it from that was flush with the door moldings. I just screwed it into the studs along the sides. I then put in a heavy duty hanging hook ( since the mirror is a little heavy) positioned to get the right hanging height. It is now installed and has passed inspection.
