Sellers Home Dressing Table Mirror: Episode 7

It’s important to get the finessing of the parts just right for the mirror tilt mechanism, and in this episode, we show the best way to create the solidity we need – including mortising in the main stem to the box area of the drawer base. Paul wanted a simple approach so that whoever changes the mirror presentation simply pulls the mirror forward from the bottom of the mirror, and the stay-behind drops automatically into saw-tooth-type notchings. It is also important to align the mirror to the supports on either side – easy enough when you see how.
he makes it look so easy!
oh yea what was the finish, it looks so good on the oak.
i’d say a mix of boiled linseed oil and paste wax or beesax, most probably commercialy premade.
Great project Paul, really enjoyed it.
Looks like Osmo to me, which is plant based, as Paul says.
Bravo, Paul. Always a pleasure to watch you work and to listen to you teach.
Mr. Paul Sellers and the rest of the production team
Very nice and functional piece. A great addition to any room. To the production team, what can I say but, ” fantastic work”.
All The best to everyone and may God Bless.

Have any of the drawings been released for the mirror yet, I know they were initially delayed?
Loved the mirror and would love to start as my next project.
