        @ramez Hi,
        Thank you for your kind words of praise.
        On picture 7 you can see my assembly construction. I use the same principle as for a kitchen wall cabinet. A rail is mounted on the wall. The construction hangs then with special fittings on this rail. The advantage of these fittings is that they are height-adjustable and depth-adjustable. This makes exact positioning possible. This is very good for drilling between tiles, because you should only drill in the joints.
        I then fastened the frame itself with screws from above through the frame into the substructure (see picture 24).

            @spitzlbergerj Hi, i’m planing to adapt that concept and plan for the respective cutout. Did you test the radar sensor through the mirror glas? Has it proven to work through Glas?

              @secdude Hi,
              no, I did not test the radar sensor properly through glass, because I had already installed the dibond plate. I’m pretty sure that the sensor will work well through glass alone or through glass with black cardboard behind… Of course I can’t give you a guarantee. However, my experiences with the sensor make this seem very, very likely.

                  @spitzlbergerj hi well done and looks amazing.
                  Quick question:

                  1. Can you not glue the mirror using the silicone on the back panel directly? Rather using the groove in the wood? Is it possible?

                  2. The back panel how is it holding the monitor? I read your comment that you have your back panel cut around the monitor and it fits in perfectly and tightly. How and where did you apply the glue tape ?

                  3. Finally do you have any distortions of your image from your mirror? Especially around the edges where you have your silicone in the groove and the mirror? Because the blackness of the groove is different from the back panel and as well as the monitor?

                  Thanks.

                    Hi @bachoo786 ,

                    Thanks for the praise. My pleasure. I’ll be happy to answer any questions.

                    1. It’s probably possible. But I wanted a larger amount of silicone to hold the heavy mirror. If you only glue the mirror to the panel, the silicone is only applied very thinly if you don’t want the mirror to protrude too much.

                    2. The cut-out in the back panel matches the monitor very closely. This holds the monitor in a vertical position. The tape just has to make sure that the monitor does not tilt backwards out of the cutout. I simply stuck the tape on the panel all around the monitor. Later I still screwed small metal angles on the top and bottom of the wooden frame, which press slightly on the monitor.

                    3. The mirror shows no distortion. You can’t see the back panel or the silicone. There is only one spot on the top edge of the mirror (which can only be found if you look very closely and find it once :-) ) where you can see the silicone bead. At this place I was very sparing with the silicone. Therefore you can see the wooden frame at this place, when light falls from above into the gap between mirror and wooden frame.

                    I hope this helps.

                    Why are you asking about the groove? Don’t you have a way to make the grooves? If you like, I can mill and send you the frame. We would have to calculate the costs of shipping and then see if it’s worth it.

                    Greetings
                    Sepp

                      @spitzlbergerj thank you for answering.

                      1. essentially its the silicone thats holding the mirror currently, I mean the groove does support it and hold it tight also. The reason why I asked about the groove is because I wanted to use the silicone alone and as you mentioned that the silicone is not see through or staining the mirror so you could use essentially alot of silicone to stick it to the back panel.

                      2. that makes sense.

                      3. I was under the impression that the mirror has to be covered with even blackness from one side in order for it to display the correct non distorted image on the mirror, so even the slightest can cause the image to distort especially around the groove in your case.

                      How big is the frame? and how much do you think it would roughly cost to ship it to the UK? if its not worth it then can you tell me how you made the groove on the wood? I mean like you mentioned the groove holds the mirror stronger in addition to the silicone.

                        @bachoo786: You are right, it is important that no stray light falls on the spy mirror from behind. But the back plane does that very well. If the silicone is in the groove all the way around, the image from the MagicMirror screen is without any interference.

                        The groove was milled with a milling table in two steps. First the deep groove was milled on the outside of the frame. Then the second groove was milled on the side of the frame facing the inside.

                        The size of the frame naturally depends on how large the mirror is to be at the end. My mirror is about 1 meter by 1/2 meter.

                        Shipping to UK should cost about 25 EUR (see https://www.dhl.de/versand-grossbritannien)

                        Regards
