I really enjoy seeing projects like this. Saving wood from being burned or turned into trash is a real winner in my book. And the frames look pretty good as well.

Nice job.

Clever idea with the pocket screws-those will never come apart.
Nice work.

Very nice project indeed. The mirrors found their fate at last in a noble person. Thanks for giving various pictures of the mirrors and I appreciate putting trash into good use. God bless you.

I love it when people reclaim the old stuff for continued use or even a brand new use. Good work.

Nice save. I'm a fan of reclaiming. You gotta love the small expenses too.

nice weather!

I really like the idea of recliaming lumber, and materials, and bringing things back to life (even in a different form) - so much better than adding them to the landfill pile, where they are wasted, and add to the overall overhead in so many different ways.

and it even looks great!!!

nice find.
