You can read a super detailed guide to building a Magic Mirror, including tips for setting up your JavaScript development environment, how I calculated the measurements for the different frame components, and even download my 3d modeling files for the mirror housing here:

My housing design consisted of the frame, followed by the two-way glass and monitor stacked on top of each other. This stack was surrounded by the dummy box and finally a plywood back board was attached to the back.

I created a frame and dummy box using two  3-in x 6-ft  pine boards. Then I attached the two-way glass to the back of the frame with silicone glue.

I secured the monitor inside the dummy box and flat against the glass using four 4-in corner braces.

I attached the dummy box to the frame back using 1.5-in corner brackets.

The plywood backboard was attached using 2-in corner brackets, followed by a French cleat to allow the entire unit to hang on the wall, no stud needed![image: 1656446633680-french_cleat_plywood.jpeg]
Lastly, I used cable ties to organize the cords behind the monitor and velcro squares to secure the power boxes and Raspberry Pi to the back of the monitor[image: 1656446919463-velcro_squares.png][image: 1656447201022-back_view.png]
Enjoy the build, and please reach out with any questions!
