My mirror finally finished and installed

Very nice approach on how to use the MagicMirror without a mirror @Jarhead96097 :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

You’re right @bhepler, the tolerances are a little too tight in hindsight. After having it hanging for a week now, it did even out a bit more, so it seems the wood is shrinking/expanding depending on the humidity.
Does anyone have a good suggestion on how to cut a few mills of the long and short side of an acrylic mirror sheet? This would free up some necessary ‘working’ space between the frame and sheet.

Thanks for the offer @djdocta, but the 6mm seems a little on the heavy side for this project :thinking_face:

@supersook OK. Your are welcome.

@supersook - There are a few tools that can do this. I would recommend a router with a flush trim bit.
Pull the acrylic out and very carefully lay it along the edge of a scrap piece of wood (a sheet of something would be ideal). The amount you want to remove from the acrylic should overhand the support sheet. Clamp it down good & hard.
Set the depth so that the bearing rides along the support sheet and the bit trims the acrylic. Go fairly briskly as acrylic likes quick cuts. Slow cuts will have the bit rub against the acrylic and melt it. You may wish to practice on scrap a couple times first.
