Metal Corner Brackets
You could just screw together so keep that in mind we’d like Metal Corner Brackets to try to keep our project simple here so let’s get busy we’re gonna nail and cut this together I’m not gonna take you through this step-by-step but basically you want to make a frame that’s just a little bit smaller than your mirror make the backside nice and flush and when you’re done building you can lay the mirror on top screw in some mirror clips and you’re good to go so the key to this whole project is to measure the size of your mirror which is an actual 16 inches and make sure that the framework that you’re working with here interior is less than that we’ve gone with a 15 and a quarter inch interior measurement you can see so that when my mirror sits on it I’ve got about three eighths on each side and that’ll be perfect to make sure that we never have a problem sliding out it also cuts down how per slice.
You need to be when building so we’re gonna fire in a couple of Brad’s just to get everything nice and tight again because all this is rustic I’m not as concerned with how we line it up as much as we are making sure the back is flush so just nice and pressure on the floor so I’m more concerned with how lined up on the inside of this frame okay and there we go we have our frame okay alright so because we’re using rustic lumber we do not want to trust the end cut square we’re building a door so all of our joints have to be perfectly square make sure you have your table saw locked in position so what we’re gonna do is we’re going to pre-cut all the ends perfect 90s and that’ll help when we’re building to make sure everything stays square and you know just solve a lot of pain as we get down the road okay so the first rule of design is it has to function right so the barn door why in.
The world are they popular it’s because Oh we’ll tell y’all about Metal Corner Brackets this whole Nate’s cutting lumber the reason we like barn doors in the design perspective is because we can close the space and separate it from another space and at the same time by sliding it across the wall we remove the need for a swing or something folding door and restricting your access into that space so by having a barn door here we solved the problem of making hay that’s ten by ten and making it feel like it’s 10 by 12 that’s key so if you have a small bedroom putting on one of these doors is awesome for getting you that extra space in your room so now you you have an extra couple feet to mess around with the other thing we’re gonna do with our door is we’re gonna solve the problem of where are we gonna put.
