Would have been nice to see the light on at night time/in the dark to see how much it actually lights up the room

[VanDamArtisan]

Very nice! I loved that you shared your failures and not just the finished product.

[maxlandy]

Really respect the way you aren't afraid to admit that you made mistakes and that it took you 5 times to do it.

[benarneld]

I honestly prefer this video on youtube mainly because you actually took the time to tunr a non-LED mirror into one whereas everyone else just bought it for $300-500 and installed it. Thank you so much for that. I'll definitely do the same thing in my house when i renovate my bathroom

[kklum]

Thank you for the honesty on how many attempts needed to make it to the final build. Appreciate the realism in the world of DIY. Kudos.

[kenyathefrugal]

I appreciate your transparency and solid recommendation to let the professionals handle certain jobs.

[DanielMartinez-dqlk]

Is it may imagination or u left your plyers inside the frame of the mirror (4 minutes and 45 seconds) into the video

[ScottMcWorks]

When you plug in the lights, and they don't come RIGHT on, I can see your will to live vanish. For half a second...then they come on and all is right in the world! Great project, glad to see it finally!

[DmytroLutsenko]

Finishing project that failed so much times deserve huge respect. And like. And comment. Great job!

[danielemerich]

The internet is a awesome tool when you use for good stuff like this video. Thank you

[anthonyjpadilla]

Explained everything very well. I was able to follow step by step easily. There were no “wait, what hold on” moments.... thumbs up!!

[bentcountershaft]

I really like that concept. I've been looking into ways of getting a lower light source in the bathroom for when my wife is putting on make up and this is something I hadn't considered. Thanks for the inspiration.

[tiitsay]

Hey man, thank you for the inspiratsion! I built a similar one, only smaller, and with waterproof led strip, which I attached on an aluminium profile, in order to cool down the led strip more quickly. I learned that leds could be made waterproof, when you just spray them with lacquer.
Also used french cleat to hang it on the wall.
Anyway cool stuff!

[scooppralines]

After heating about this on the Modern Maker Podcast I am stoked to finally see the finished mirror. Thank you for sharing.

[ooMikeoo]

I've been looking forward to this one so much Mike!! So happy for you that you were finally able to conquer it!! Thanks for not giving up on it!! I would love to see how much light output it gives of once it's dark out!

[wendevious]

Why is this more or actually satisfying than those satisfying compilations.

[danthemakerman]

Thumbs up just for the amount of effort you put in to this. Glad you got it done.

[joshtiel]

That DC795 medium modulus silicone caulking that you used is about as good as you can get as long as you give it enough setup time. Only downside to how you glazed the mirror is that the inside is now sealed off completely which won't let air circulate behind that centre section like it will need in that bathroom environment. That said, I'm still unsure how you'd get around that with this project. I've thought about a project like this before and you may have inspired me to try! Thanks for posting and keep up the good work! Also, as a glazier, thanks for putting in a plug for your local glass shop ;). We are some really cool people with awesome ideas for your home!

[supersta]

I’m glad this worked out in the end, you looked so sad when the first attempt turned out hazy after all your hard work! Looks great

[Martin-ylzb]

Dude, that's awesome. Normally I might not have watched this video... However after hearing your struggle on the podcast....I just couldn't wait. Very nice 👍🏻
