The Cheval Mirror
Round the top edges of the legs and stretcher with your Shaper set-up and a 1/4" quarter-round shaper cutter. As an alternative, you could also use the Shopsmith Routing Package with a 1/4" Round Over Bit. If you'd like a more decorative edge on your mirror frame, use an Ogee Shaper Cutter or Router Bit...being careful to stop, then re-start your cut around the pivot pin holes to avoid cutting into them.
Next, glue and clamp the base assembly and the frame assembly together. Once they've dried, apply the finish of your choice. Install the mirror in the frame and back it with 1/8" hardboard. Mount the mirror frame to the base with the pivot pins and 3/8" I.D. O-Rings (faucet repair parts, available wherever plumbing supplies are sold). These O-Rings will supply the friction to keep the mirror positioned where you want it when tilted.
Fasten the pins to the frame with 3/4" flathead wood screws, secured from the back through the pivot pins.
