      Hi all, been looking at building this for the last 9 months and finally got around to making it this week. Basically I was looking to test the technology behind MM and see if I would get any use out of it before investing time in a prettier model. Currently using the default weather & clock modules and email module by ronny3050.

      I think that the next frame will be a purchase rather than a build, there’s floorstanding mirrors in argos for 25GBP (aprox $30US) which will a fit a fair size monitor.

      Cheers, RobJ.

        Great approach, investing a small amount of money before wasting too much money in something you won’t use. 👍

        Personally I would reduce the outer margins to get some more useable space in the middle of the mirror.

            Actually @RobJ I like that frame!! It’s a cool look!! I know you’re just testing but if counter sunk those L brackets and used brass screws that would look REALLY cool!!! 🙂

              @cowboysdude thanks! Yes I hadn’t really thought about making it a bit more stylish. I have some sheet brass at home and could make the L brackets from that, would look nicely steam punk then. bit of wood stained to darken… mmm… now you have me thinking!

                @RobJ YES that would look amazing!!! Great thought!! You could either use brass screws or paint them a different color perhaps copper or black…

                  I have a doubt, those floor standing mirrors you mentioned wouldn’t work right? Since they don’t come with a two-way mirror?

                    I think they are just referring to the use of the frame, not the mirror itself.
