DoogyRev

Yes I saw the ones at CES, and I like mine better As for making and selling . . . . Raspberry Pi - $100 (inc HDMI and Memory Card) Monitor - $220 Wood - $100 Extension Cable - $50 USB Extensions - $40 French Cleats - $50 So $560 not including all the sundries (small brackets, screws, Shellac, Varnish, Glue, Sand Paper etc), I also had to get the corner clamps, some chisels and a mitre saw, so all in all its prob cost me nearly $1k to make. Note - All prices in $ CAD

its just under 2" deep (not including the front surround) , which is about the thinnest I could go, if you look at pic 4 the back of the monitor dictates the depth. With the back panel on there is about 4mm between that and the back of the monitor. i searched for a long time for the right extension lead so the plugs fit the slimmest way round. You guys will be screwed with the UK 3pin plugs. I did think about having the extension externally but that would not look as good IMO

Any glass or window place should be about to source it for you. I got mine from a local place, had to be ordered in from the US. The only other alternative is order two way perspex, but I have seen reports that it can warp and end up like a circus funny mirror . . glass has to be glass. I made the frame then ordered a piece 2mm LxH smaller and I can remove the top of the outer frame and take the glass out if I want, just in case it ever broke. Pinball machine looks cool, not see that before

I am really not sure what else I would use a Raspberry PI for . . . the Mirror is about the only thing i have seen which interested me A few of my colleagues are monitoring all of their home gas/electic/water or running their security monitoring systems using PI's

This is the original build post I saw for Magic Mirror http://blog.dylanjpierce.com/raspberrypi/magicmirror/tutorial/2015/12/27/build-a-magic-mirror.html Anyone else doing anything interesting with a Raspberry PI?

My latest little creative project has been Raspberry PI related. After acquiring one I decided t make a Magic Mirror. Here is my build thread (just for Keyser and Leon) To begin with I purchased a brand new monitor ensuring the connections for power and HDMI were lateral with the screen. I then proceeded to strip the monitor of its case so only the internals remain the remaining bits I the made a oak frame that fits the monitor exactly . and then a second frame thats fits round the that one Glued the two together but slightly offset. as you can see here, the offset is the same depth as the two way mirror glass I ordered. Just like the stuff they use in interrogation rooms or pervs install in bathrooms Sprayed the inner side which the mirror will sit on black Test fitting the mirror glass I also decided to colour in the monitor surround . . sharpie to the rescue. A black background will not show as much through the glass Then off to the local Mill to get some nice wood to make the front. This is Curley Maple, glued together to make the frame. which I then used Shellac to "pop the grain" Three coats sanding in between Whilst that was drying I drilled some holes for ventilation top and bottom, fixed in some USB and Power Not time for a few coats of semi gloss varnish, sanding in between Once dry, attach the outer front frame, install the glass and the monitor All wiring and Raspberry PI fitted and installed. Fixed a back on with more vents for heat dispersion and a couple of french cleats for mounting on the wall . . this thing is pretty heavy Tah-dah . . . . .

I am sure you could afford a new hood

. . and the view for Tall People . . . :lol:

i admire the workmanship . . . but not for $1m excluding taxes http://www.carscoops.com/2017/01/mclarens-new-1-million-titanium.html

you can also use silicone grease or vaseline since they both won't perish rubber. I used to use silicone grease, just a very thin coat around the door seals. never had any issues.

This looks pretty good too . .

Ooooffftt a sneaky super snake http://www.carscoops.com/2017/01/shelbys-new-50th-anniversary-super.html

Awesome work as per usual Mr K

That looks a right laugh

I have one of these for my 7 plus and i love it, very thin so the phone feels no bigger and a great fit https://buypeel.com

you are never too old for a check shirt

if it does end up looking like this . . . then I WANT ONE!!!

Mustang . . shmushtanng . . . this is all I am interested in now . .

I am based near Winchester haha . . I am pretty sure Humpy is IN winchester

you should just trade in that old porker for a Shelby GT350

Sold 5 years ago now

I think your gonna need a bigger pond The Fraser river down the road from me has Sturgeon in . . . Yep you are gonna need a bigger pond!!
