That was my question, too. Our rabbit will sit still for a brushing,
but that's about it.

How'd you train 'em?

OK guys, I apologize for misspelling rabbet ! ! !

Now back to the original query.
Should I cut two rabbets, one for the glass and one for the backing,
or just one rabbet for the glass and mounting the backing on the
outside of the frame?
Any advise(sp) would be appreciated.

FWIW, I have a very nice bedroom set with a triple mirror dresser. It
has 1/8" material tacked or stapled behind the mirror. Mirrors are
heavy as hell, so I wouldn't add TOO much additional material. Just
something to protect it a bit. Hey, the front is exposed, so no need to
secure the back like Fort Knox.

How'd you train 'em?

If in you screw them in place you don't have to train em. ;~)

Glad to see you still wearing your halo. I know it feels tight right
now, but it looks good on you.

If the back or edge of the ply is not seen, it doesn't really matter.
