      let’s try this again

      I see it now! Looks great! That’s film over glass?

        @Mykle1 , That’s correct.
        The product Ive used is called
        Gila - Mirrored Privacy Window Film
        Found at a local Canadian hardware store.

        It took me three applications to get it to a level where I was satisfied, with a lot of patience, soapy water, and a credit card, pushing the air bubbles out.

        The local Mirror and glass shops were quoting me 300$CAD + for a glass the size I wanted, so decided it was much cheaper to get just plain glass and this privacy film.

          Well, based on the picture you posted, it looks as good as any other mirror I’ve seen here. Well done!

                  Do you have any other photo of the frame making process?

                    Negative; I actually got too excited building it.
                    I should have documented it.

                    What I can do is show you the internals after.
                    I used a lot of wood glue and it seems to hold it really well.

                        just wondering if you applied the Gila film on the outside of the glass…or on the inside against the monitor?

                          I put it on the inside of the glass; I didn’t want to have it exposed, and the glass would protect it.
