Tools you will need

The following is a list of tools you will need to construct the plywood enclosure for the mirror:

• A 25 mm Forstner drill bit

• A large electric drill or drill press

• A jigsaw

• A router and table

• A straight, top bearing, and guided router bit (www.screwfix.com/p/titan-flush-trim-bit-with-bearing-shank-12-7-x-25mm/72588)

• A 4 mm rebate router bit (www.screwfix.com/p/biscuit-router-cutter-no-20-shank-41mm/86179)

Note that here, a router and table are required to machine the plywood enclosure for the mirror, which are both tools that you may not have easy access to. If this is the case, as with laser cutting in the previous chapters, a good place to start would be to look for a local hacker space, which would likely have these tools and members who would be happy to help you use them.

The router bits I have lined here are for a 1/2 inch shank, which must fit the router you intend to use. If your router can only find 1/4 inch shank, then you will need to find alternative cutters.
