@Hilt This looking great , fantastic & clean.
Being in SA what mirror glass did you use & from where did you get it
Thanks -
Howdy !
Initially I looked into real 1-way mirror. But it was just too expensive for the size that I needed in our fair country.
So ! First I tried the DIY route. Picked up some 4mm glass, found some mirror tint film online and gave it a bash ! That film promptly ended up in a ball in the bin :S. It’s clear ( vicious pun ) that I’m handy with woodwork but suck at tinting.
I then took my sheet of glass to a car window tint business and they did a great job. I ended up going with the most reflective film they had as one step down just looked milky. Sadly that business is no longer in operation. But any car tint spot should do.

What did you use for the frame? That looks like the same trim I use on my paintings but don’t recognize the inner bevel, did you add that onto the frame?

It was a regular off the shelf mirror in a frame. I just removed the actual mirror portion from the frame and replaced it with 4mm tinted glass.
