My mirror finally finished and installed

That’s a great looking mirror. I especially like the cable channel underneath!

Thanks @Srcodesalittle! :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:
Of course I’d prefer to have no channel visible at all, but this is as good as it gets without having to open up the wall :winking_face:

@supersook Fantastic build! Congratulations! You should really switch to glass, as the distortion comes out nasty on that beatyfully crafted frame.
I ordered my mirror from here in Germany. That shop had the best price incl. shipment at that time. From their website I see that they also ship to NL. -
Thanks @Fozi!
Yeah, if I had known the acrylic would be so difficult to get right, I would have gone for the glass right away. Thanks for suggesting a supplier!

@supersook Nice job on your mirror!
The cost of one-way glass made us consider alternatives. As we recently remodeled our family room, we decided to mount the monitor inside a frame on the wall. I was able to route power and install an outlet inside the open wall and frame. We added a monitor arm and use the Dell monitor USB to power the Raspberry Pi 4. It is physically located on the wall by our kitchen, so it is convenient and easy to reference. It is also quite a conversation starter!

@supersook Great mirror.
If you need a real two way mirror, I still have one to sell that I can cut with your prefered mesured.
It was never used (and also sold from the same supplier as mentioned by @Fozi) but at a much cheaper price (the mirror is new).
I m in Belgium so even for the delivery, it could be very easy.

@supersook - Your mirror looks great! Nice work.
In my experience, the wood tends to expand a bit after you cut it, so it tends to push on the outside of the acrylic. While glass would be a better choice, you may wish to try opening up your tolerance by a hair. If you can get the acrylic to rest easily in the mirror, you may eliminate most of your distortion.
Although it looks like you don’t have a lot of distortion going on. You’re most of the way there.

@Jayh391 Thank you! I’m using the MMM-ModuleScheduler to dim everything except for the clock between 2130 and 0600 each day. The MMM-Globe module pulls a fresh satellite image every ten minutes using the geoColor source. I’ve got the local pollen forecast just below the clock, with three instances of the calendar running down the right side (US holidays, my calendar and my wife’s/family calendar at the bottom since she’s vertically challenged). I’m using the new default weather module to provide both current conditions and seven day forecasts for two different locations along the left side. Finally, I’m running the newsfeed module to provide headlines along the bottom bar. It’s been fun, but I’m still trying to troubleshoot the “Invalid date” error for the first current weather instance. I’m wondering if it isn’t bad data from the local weather forecast station.
