      @bhepler Sorry for the long wait in reply! The holes where drilled by the glass-guy, drilling glass is not for the faint of heart. Alongside with drilling, he also polished the sides, one thing I do not regret doing.

        This design is easily one of the most impressive I’ve seen. How did you get the monitor to affix to the glass? Just by using electrical tape to bind it to the construction paper on the back? Does it hold soundly?

        Is there anything to the connection of the RPI > Controller > Laptop monitor or is it straightforward?

        Great work!

          @mizzoudavis hi! yeah electrical tape was used to affix the monitor to the glass, and the construction paper is affixed to the glass around the monitor. I would not recomending affixing the monitor to the paper. The glue I was using did not have the best contact for glass-paper and is the reason for this recommendation.
          The monitor on the other hans has now been sitting glued with electrical tape to the glass for one year, with no problems what so ever.

          The hookup is as easy as it sounds like. Takes longer to type out how easy it is to hook up, than hooking it up…

                @Diddern Thanks! As for affixing it to the wall, where did you get the cap portion? It appears that it is a bolt that goes through the glass, then through the spacer and into the wall, correct? Again, fantastic design.

                  @mizzoudavis the caps where bought at the glass-cutters. It’s a threaded plate that the screw goes throug. Kindof formed like a thik coin with threads on. The end cap is then screwed on to it with the mirror in between the spacers and the cap-plate.
                  This can make it little difficult to unmount the mirror, but it looks good, so the extra 2 minutes when doing maintenance is worth it.

                      @mizzoudavis almost! The one i use is more like this, but that was because of the custom spacers. Another option would be edge mounted spacers. I think they look really nice. Some US/UK-companies make them to length
