Finally, my first mirror is complete!

Wow! That’s really good for a first mirror. I like the slot for the glass, frankly. I may have to try that technique next time.

@bhepler Thanks! The slots fo the mirror give a neat finish but I’m sure there are easier technics to achieve this effect without the hassle (it wasn’t the easiest job to do the frame assembly)

That being said, it was good woodworking practice :)

lovely one
maybe juste try with a white cable for power

Very nice and clean design! I love that sort of simplicity. I went the same route regarding the frame, but had to use two ready-made RIBBA frames, as I have no facility to build it myself. A Glas mirror is definitely the next upgrade you should consider. It really makes a significant difference. Maybe you could also try to move the power plug inside the frame to hide the massive cable shaft, which goes into the mirror plug. Or cut and strip the cable plug and wire it directly inside the frame, with a white cord of course.

Thanks @seramik, @Fozi. I already planned to have a white cable, it just hasn’t arrived yet so I used a black one as a temporary measure.

I’ll consider upgrade to glass but later, once I get bored of the current version.

Dear @tbouron , what a great idea to include the airtraffic data.
Please allow me one question: Did you use an antenna or how did you get the data? I tried to follow the github instructions but failing misearbly.

Kind regards,
Paul

It looks so cool but could try adding more slides or something if you haven’t already

tbouron

@PaulB I use the antenna that came with the USB dongle. Works like a charm

@Mahieedaboss not sure what you mean by more slides?
