I'm glad I'm not the only one to have mixed results cutting mirrors/glass. No matter what happens, you always figure it out, and end up with a good result. You've made a lovely thing out of almost nothing. Nicely done Frank. 👍👍
@cportage556 😁 Yep, lessons learned with this one, "don't waste time with cheap mirrors". But i got there in the end 😁. And its always nice to reclaim some old drawers and flooring 😁. Thanks for watching and have a happy new year mate 😁👍
@alastairwallis9499 😁 Thanks Alastair. Hopefully i will get back in to the swing of things next year with my videos. You never know I may get to 10k subscribers if I'm lucky 🤞. Thanks for watching, and a happy new year to you 😁👍
@vincechoraszewski2394 😁 Yep, sorry about that Vince. It was a bit of an epic. And that was after I edited about 40% out of it. Hopefully there is a little bit in there for everyone. So people can just drop in and out of the video to get out of it what they need to know. Thanks for taking the time to watch (that means a lot to me). Happy new year Vince 😁👍
@andymarriott8150 😁 Thanks Andy, feel free to steal any ideas. If you can improve on them then let me know. Some times the obvious solutions stare us in the face and we just can't see them 😆. Thanks for watching and a happy new year to you and yours 😁👍
@handyjim 😁 Hi Jim. I did experiment with putting some padding in but finally decided not to just incase it started to discolour over time. But the back can be taken off to access them if necessary. Thanks for watching Jim. Hope you have a happy new year mate 😁👍
Great long video to watch in the 'quiet' time between Xmas and new year. Very interesting job and always more involved than you expect. If I might make a couple of suggestions, get a good quality oil-filled glass cutter with a 'tapping ball' on the end (not expensive) and always rest on a hard surface so the glass can't deflect as you're cutting. I've got lots of small off-cuts from before discovering this! Looking forward to your 2025 releases...
@benjaqsonworkshop9974 😁 Thanks Ben. Normally I don't have many problems cutting glass, but this mirror was so thin it caused so many problems. I agree, the solid surface is very important. You see i did the last cut on my foam cover, it flexed while doing the cut which is why it broke. But by then the red mist had kicked in, so there wasn't much "clear thinking" going on 😆😆. Maby I'll treat myself to a new cutter in the new year 😁. Thanks as always Ben for watching. And I wish you all very happy new year 😁👍
Hi Frank, hope you had a nice Christmas and not too much turkey🤤😁 You have done a great job on the display case. I was gutted for you cutting the mirror, just cheap thin quality. must have been a right pain in the glass😉A lovely finish and turned out great, happy for you mate. I made some thing similar about 6 years ago when I had an autograph on my Welsh Rugby top, signed by Shane Williams 🏉🏉when I met him in Wrexham it's on the wall on the stairs. As always a great video and a great build project, all the best for the new year, catch you soon Take care😁👍
@shaun30-3-mg9zs 😆😆 "Pain in the glass".... very good Shaun 😆😆. I am pleased with the end result. Hopefully it will keep the shoes in good condition for years to come. Thanks for taking the time to watch. Happy new year mate, talk to you soon 😁👍

Lovely build mate. The depth gauge being used horizontally was pure genius and I will be stealing that idea. Happy new year to you and the family
