Cut one Mirror Backer and one Frame Back to size from a sheet of 3/4" plywood, as shown in the cutting diagram. Then, with your pocket-hole jig set up for 3/4" material, drill pocket holes in the Frame Back as shown.
Now you need to drill a series of holes through the Frame Back. These will be used to attach the Mirror Backer later.
Cut two Frame Sides, one Frame Top, and one Frame Bottom to length from 1x3 boards, as shown in the cutting diagram. Then, with your pocket-hole jig set up for 3/4" material, drill pocket holes in the Frame Top and Frame Bottom as shown.
Cut two Inner Frame Sides, one Inner Frame Top, and one Inner Frame Bottom to length from a 1x3 board, as shown in the cutting diagram. Then, with your pocket-hole jig set up for 3/4" material, drill pocket holes in the Inner Frame Top and Inner Frame Bottom, as shown.
After sanding the Frame Back, Frame Top and Bottom, and the Frame Sides, you can assemble them using 1 1/4" fine-thread pocket-hole screws. After assembly, glue pocket-hole plugs into the Frame Top and Bottom, and then sand the plugs flush.
After sanding the Inner Frame Top, Bottom, and Sides, you can assemble them using 1 1/4" fine-thread pocket-hole screws. After assembly, glue pocket-hole plugs into the Inner Frame Top and Bottom, and then sand the plugs flush.
Once the stain is dry and the mirror adhesive has set up, center the mirror/backer assembly inside the inner frame, and attach it by driving 1 1/4" flat-head screws into the Mirror Backer from the backside of the frame. These screws are 1/4" shorter than the combined thickness of the Frame Back and Mirror Backer, but you’ll still want to use caution to avoid driving the screws too deep and potentially cracking the mirror.
