I Converted My Garage Into a Luxury Home Gym

What happens here

Carefully lift and position each mirror onto its respective wooden frame. The presenter uses construction adhesive (Loctite Power Grab) on the back of the mirrors and small, almost invisible pin nails (or brad nails into the frame's edge) to hold them until the adhesive cures. Since the initial wall panels caused the mirrors to be too wide, the panels were cut back to allow the mirrors to sit flush. After installation, remove any temporary tape or supports used during positioning.

Goal: Mount the large mirrors onto their prepared wooden frames, securing them to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing feature in the gym.

What they say

Hide

one's not broken. Shout out to companies who are packing things like this. I would be terrified to start a mirror business and then knowing that all my products have broken along the delivery. That's good packaging. Uh-oh. Well, good news bad news. Good news is all of our mirrors are safe in transport. Bad news is we have way too much overhang right here. And that's a two-part issue. One, anybody can really really ding that sucker really quickly and that'll break. Two, by the time we wrap our LEDs around here, this won't have as much of a glow as I'd be looking for to see from the top and bottom cuz we have about an inch gap on top and the bottom. What I'm going to need to do add another piece of 2 by 4 on each side. That should get us pretty damn close. And unfortunately I'm going to have to get rid of some of this board paneling in order to fit those to be on the same plane. Not how I want to start my Monday, but it is what it is. >> Hey, that's kind of reassuring. I was worried that if push comes to shove one day somebody will need to remove these panels and there'll be a huge drywall mess, but it's not bad at all. It's literally just taking a little bit of that mud on top and the paper is still there. >> [snorts] >> It's a pretty nice surprise to me, folks. Oh, where did that come from? Can't turn your back on this, man. That [snorts] could have Man, if that hit me in my head I wouldn't be able to roll my Rs like I do today. Be honest, Kyle, did you see that coming and you didn't say anything? Just for the plot of the video. So, nothing of you went like, "No, don't." >> [laughter] >> Dude, I thought you watched my six, man. Can't trust anybody here. All right, so our new measurement is 67 and 1/2 and 72 is total, which is going to give us like what? Like 2 in on each side? Something like that. Which will be just fine. Got my cable going through here. These are LEDs that I use. I use them on so many projects. Golf simulator, back of his bed. If you haven't seen all those videos, go check them out. But, what I like is how uniform the lighting is. You don't have individual LEDs. You have a nice little strip there. Perfect glow. And, it already has a connector here. So, you already have my 24-V power here. I think it's limited to like 3 or 5 amps. And, we just plug it in as we do here. Ooh! Look at that. Look how easy that color is. It looks like Tron, right? So, and you can still cut it, by the way. So, what we're going to do…
