What's it called

Chippygeoff · 6 Jul 2015

I have a small wooden mirror and a wooden base I have made. I want to get my hand on a fitting where I screw one end to the base and the other to the back of the mirror and I would like the mirror to be adjustable when it is standing on a flat surface, like ladies can adjust it for makle up etc. Any idea what the fitting is called that I am after. If I can get the right sort of thing I will make a few more.

does the mirror fit between two uprights if yes you could use these

or do you mean a sort of pole at the back that the mirror is then fastened to

If you mean the sort of flexible piece which is stiff enough to stay in the position where you bend it to, I'd call it a swan neck.
I can't find any for sale but maybe you could track down something which uses them but is cheap enough to raid for parts. An Ikea lamp, maybe?

Or a ball and socket type thingy like on a rear view mirror fixed to a car windscreen (or in the case of my Landcover, fixed to a lump of mystery wood which is Gripfilled to both the windscreen and the headlining!!)
