Through the looking glass..illusion complete

[mailee]

I know it isn't fine woodworking but it was a commision and is earning me money.

I was asked to make one of these garden mirrors for a customer after she saw one on holiday. It did give me a chance to use some dowels for the window frames as biscuits were too big. Got to admit it made a change even if the angles were a little challenging. The colour is her choice. :roll: :lol:

 

[Chems]

Its freaking me out!

Great work, I bet those angles were a bit of fun.

Excellent Alan. At least it's not a door..... :lol:

 

[mailee]

LOL, Your right Karl, I hadn't thought of that...it does make a change. :lol: Your not wrong James the angles were a pain in the butt. :roll:

 

[mailee]

Well I go the mirror hung today.

Customer was over the moon with it and said I will probably have more to make when her friends see it.

I like.... =D> =D>

Just needs some curtains and a window cleaner leering through them to complete it :lol:

How long until the first bird tries to fly through it ???

 

[Melinda_dd]

Ok, so I'm a bit slow and actually thought it was an open window, and didn't get where the mirror comes in!!!

Now I've caught up.... how wicked is that!!! love it =D>

 

[mailee]

It's ok Melinda, your not the first. One guy an another forum swore he could see through it in my workshop. :lol:

 

[Benchwayze]

Like it!

Excellent Alan. At least it's not a door..... :lol:

You never know - someone may now ask Alan to make another mirror but with a pair of doors instead of the window!! :-D ;-)

Could we also use these to make our workshops look bigger, I wonder? :-D
