Directions

Cut boards and Gooves
Following the cut diagram, use a Kreg Accu-Cut and circular saw or table saw to cut your box pieces to size from a 1 x 12 x 96" and a 1 x 6 x 36" board.
Cut two at 8-1/4" x 28"
Cut two at 9" x 18-5/8"
Cut one at 5-1/2" x 28"Grooves need to be cut into the top, bottom and sides to accommodate a 1/4" inset plywood panel. This can be done by taking multiple passes using the Kreg Accu-Cut guide track and a circular saw, on a table saw, or by using a router and 1/4" straight cutting bit.
Cut 1/4" x 1/4" grooves along the length of the side pieces, 3-1/4" from the front edge of the board. Cut a 1/4" x 1/4" groove along the length of the top and bottom pieces, but stop 1/4" from either end. Do not cut through the ends of the board.

Assemble Mirror Frames
Cut 12 trapezoids from 1 x 4 boards, 30 degrees off of square, the longest side measuring 10-1/2".
For each frame: Align 6 trapezoids in a hexagon shape. Measure the exact length between two parallel pieces and cut a scrap piece of wood to fit between them. Apply glue to all adjoining faces and clamp together to create a hexagon.
