Full length pivoting mirror and jewelry cabinet

Project by Jerry posted 33 days ago 430 views 7 times favorited 12 comments Add to Favorites Watch

This was built as a 25th anniversary gift.

The frame and cabinet are made from maple with some very nice lacey appearance. The back is simply 3/4” Luan plywood. I included many antique brass hooks to be placed where she wanted to accommodate the different jewelry. I am still a novice but glad to report that each project finished better than the last…...so far..

thanks for looking, have a great day

Love it! I’ve never seen a miiror open like that. It could almost use a smaller mirror on the inside so she could put her jewlery on without shutting the door. Nice use of pocket screws for strength. I bet that thing weighs a ton!

A very nice design of a full mirror with a provision to keep jewlery inside. Tom’s suggestion of including a small mirror inside is worth noting.

Nice mirror and case. I would just hope that no one flips it upside down to see the other side. It would be a jewel of a mess.

Yeah. What happens when it flips? I like the idea, but that part puzzles me.

Well, Patron. If it rotates, people rotate it. Especially if they don’t know it a jewelry box.

You bring up a good point on the rotation. There are dowel stops hidden within the uprights. It gives you a few degrees of motion without worry of toppling over.

I do like the idea of a smaller interior mirror.

thanks for all the feedback!!!!!
