Scott, I really like the hand mirror. I've been thinking of making one too. Have you found a source for oval mirrors?

OK - the prize draw is now closed for entries. We will work through everyone who has entered and do a random draw for the prizes. Expect information on prizewinners in the next couple of days. Thanks to everyone who entered it has been very interesting to see all the ways you have found to use the files and software :) Cheers, James

Phil, sorry I missed your post above. I remember seeing some mirrors of various sizes in some catalogs that I had, but am not sure who it was. I get a fair amount of glass/mirror from a couple of local glass businesses and I would give them a call to see if they can cut some oval mirrors or order some when I need them. I'll dig through my stack a catalogs too. A search on the web gave a lot of already framed oval mirrors, not just the mirror.

Fabulous mirror Scott. I've been working on a round hand mirror. Would you be willing to share the design? There is a good source for mirrors @ www.pennstateind.com -AD

Hey AD,

Sorry, I've been busy lately and haven't been keeping up on the forum very much.

Thanks for the compliments on the mirror. Here's the file, but some of the tool settings were just for purposes of getting an entry that looked proper, so you may have to make some adjustments. The size and shape of the mirror body/handle were also just a guestimate.

Yup, PennState, that would be one of the places that I've seen some mirror blanks. Thanks.

Mirror source

I haven't ordered any yet but I found a very inexpensive source for mirrors. http://www.sunshinecrafts.com/search.php

Hi reddog,
Go here and in the "Search 3D" box, type "rope." That will bring up all of the ropes available. These models are not free, but considering the quality of James' models, and his low prices, they almost seem free.

Good luck with your project.

Regards,

Joe
