The inspiration is from the Elven art in LOTR and Rings of Power
How is this made?
Drill, jigsaw, trim router, and then the tight corners by hand with a chisel and sandpaper?
You nailed it! I started with a stencil I made from hardboard using a jigsaw. Then router And the tight corners with chisel
Do you have any process photos of this project? It’s absolutely incredible.
Thanks! I have some videos I’m working on editing together I’ll let you know when I post it
Lies. That is not a mirror. That’s a god-damned magical portal.
Just saw pic without reading title and thought “that could be from Rivendell”
Sure enough… haha
Great work!
Awesome! That’s just the look I wanted. I love that style of art and I wanted something like that
I had the exact same thought
Very nice craftsmanship!
The frame looks amazing. Why you decided to use it to hang a picture of a random man holding a phone is beyond me.
Beautiful work … I also love the big smile on you, the feeling of achievement of making something amazing.
Congratulations
Great work dude!
Absolutely stunning work!
My only nit-pick of this gorgeous creation is the grain orientation of the bottom stretcher being horizontal instead of vertical.
Truly inspiring work! And despite your previous setbacks with this project that smile doesn’t look like it’s going to leave your face anytime soon lol I will have to give this technique a try sometime.
Thank you!
Ya I don’t love that either but I felt it was necessary for structure.
I’m super proud of it!
look stunning! well done!
It’s beautiful!!
You know, I’ve only seen your three posts on this project, starting with the first painful break; and commented once or twice; but somehow - through the magic of Lemmy - I feel as if we built this project together.
Seriously, though… knowing now how much work it was, will you ever make something like it again?
Haha that’s very nice I’m glad you were there to share the experience with me. Yes I absolutely would make it again I loved making it.
And then I could use this mirror to create a new stencil which was the hardest part of it
Interesting. I’d have thought the hardest part would be cutting out the spaces without breaking any of the legs. This task I can only imagine gets harder and more anxious the closer to the end you get.

This came out beautifully - well done!
The frame is amazing alone, yet your smile as you admire your work is definitely stealing the show here.
That’s incredible. Great work!
