While I'm not into woodworking at all, I wanted to let you know this was a great video. I really enjoyed how you explained your design decisions and discussed what you'd do differently for future iterations. Great job!
you are absolutely right about acrylic getting scratched super easy, i use clear tinting film for the opposite side of acrylic, its way easier to clean and doesnt get scratched and easy to replace.
I worked for an aquarium manufacturing company in the 1970’s. We built an infinity aquarium. The fish would repeat themselves to infinity. The downside was that the water had to be crystal clear… dirty water just got dirtier with each repeti on.
Wow. This is really helpful, ESPECIALLY with putting things in the mirror, and giving a visual for how different distances affect depth. Thank you sir!
This is a great build. I like that you were able to use acrylic for the whole enclosure and leave the edges so they distribute the muted light. The LED light strips are easy to work with and since you were wrapping it inside, you were able to make the box with the corners in the right place for the bend. That was pretty clever, too. If you do decide to make a video dedicated to working with acrylic, I think it would be very well received. I've had limited use with it and have had chipping issues, but this video helped me with that for future projects. And of course there's the problem with static buildup that attracts every piece of dust in the room, so I'd like to hear your ideas concerning that. Keep up the good work, sir!
Well, I for one have never left this maker a thumbs down. But when I do leave a thumbs down for a UA-camr, I rarely leave a comment. Somehow I feel that rubbing salt in the wound is not needed. But I understand what you mean; I guess it could be productive if done well. ;-)
What would happen if you put the LEDs on the outside of the frosted acrylic. You would still have the same effect just muted a bit I'm thinking. Like to see one if you've tried that.
We had those back in the 70s 😎 very cool. I just learned about the different type of acrylic. ie cast vs extruded but would like to know more about acrylics.
do you think this type acrylic installation could be used forba scooter deck? possibly creating some type of design inside to reinforce for weight and stress?
Did u end up making the other versions of infinity mirrors? I eagerly scrolled thru ur videos hoping that I’d come across them. This is a project I’ve wanted to tackle after I seen one my Aunt had when I was kid. I have all the materials & knowledge but had the same thought process, WHICH VERSION SHOULD I MAKE? I’ve seen lots of idea’s & love to see how people add different methods for unique effects! Thank u for sharing all the exact details, taking the time to film, edit & post this diy. Hope u add the other versions u mentioned…pretty please!?😊
Great Job. Let me share another simple trick. If you have access to a Cricut vinyl cutter you can create a frosted glass name, logo or whatever you like and apply it to the back glass mirror. This will scatter the light and brightly illuminate the logo. If your mirror is acrylic use the frosted glass vinyl sold at Wal-Mart... last time I checked it is where the Contact paper is sold in housewares. If you want to go a bit fancier ON GLASS, you can acid etch the logo using the vinyl cut out as a mask. Armour etch acid is the brand I have. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the amazing video. Would it be possible to create a version for selfies? What kind of modification I have to do so you can take a selfie in this mirror. Thank you again!
Great work dude.Excellent YT channel. Regarding the edging detail-I think that 'frosting' brightens the outside relative to the inside so makes the inside 'appear' less bright so tinting or blackening the edge just stops that dazzle by absorbing the otherwise lost'stray light around the edge,increasing the contrast and thus making inside 'appear' brighter,as would e.g. a darkened room..
hey I've always wondered that do we need to put the Two way reflective sheet on the entire surface... or can we put it just under the LED strips? Like if the LED strip is on the circumference then we can put the 2 way reflective sheet on just the circumference of the glass plate? Will that work?
Good stuff ..was thinking about how you stress it scratches very easily. Could one coat acrylic with something? Like a polyurethane substance , because like you said it cheap and not hard to find. Great video keep em coming!
Another awesome project! I've seen these before and wondered how difficult it would be to replicate. With your motivation/instruction, I going to have to try it for myself. Thanks you!
Hi There! Love this. You make this look SO easy. :) Can you share the name of the tape and lights? Also where did you get the one way mirror from? I usually use plexi glass and lay down one of those films which people use for car windows.
Sure. No problem. Just add another material that I want to work with. So how much are you donating to my bigger house so I can store all this stuff? It does give me ideas on lights I want to make with LEDs.
“Glass does come in frosted flavor” that was the best confusion gold I’ve ever seen. Thank you for not editing out! 😁

Acrylic Do’s & Don’ts- YES

Im mailing aquarium and you have given me a very bright idea thanks a lot

Oh I found all the links for materials! Thank you
When people leave a thumbs down,👎🏼, why don’t they leave feedback as well?

Dope, waiting for the sequel
Very detailed explanation in terms a 4 year old could understand
This is how detailed all diy videos should be
Ahh... Forsted flavour! Sounds delicious
Love your channel, got excited to see you made a infinity mirror. Just because you’re a great teacher
Can you please tell me which brand of window film you used to make the two-way mirror, or did you buy the mirror already made? Thanks for any input.
Al Jacobs Excellent video but using the parts list and Amazon address I do not get to any part?? 🙃
What would happen if you put the LEDs on the outside of the frosted acrylic. You would still have the same effect just muted a bit I'm thinking. Like to see one if you've tried that.
Thanks for the tutorial. Inspired me to turn a coffee table into a tv lift and wrap it in infinity mirrors. Thanks for the great work!!!
Have you ever tried laser etching the mirror or the 2 way mirror? I was wondering how that would turn out.
Sweeeet.....I love infinity mirrors! The box in the center gives this a calming vibe. I can’t explain it... I am just weird.
Ha! We're all a little weird.
Those of you who have ever made a box you know what I'm talking about. XD very informative and so cool.
Awesome bro thanks very much, watching from Ecuador ✌
We had those back in the 70s 😎 very cool. I just learned about the different type of acrylic. ie cast vs extruded but would like to know more about acrylics.
That's funny I was thinking it had sort of a 70's vibe as well.
what did you put on the clear acrylic? did you put film ?
I stumbled upon this video, just wanted to say you sound like a great dude :) enjoyed the video, thanks
This was an awesome video. Do you have anymore videos dealing with acrylic or even adding the scenery to the infinity mirror?
do you think this type acrylic installation could be used forba scooter deck? possibly creating some type of design inside to reinforce for weight and stress?

I make infinity mirrors myself. Yours came out looking awesome! God bless.
That was awesome I am going to try it sometime. Thank you for the lesson
Great tutorial!! I like the way you frosted the ends. Inspiration for my next project. Thanks!!!
that is gorgeous!!!!! 😍♾🤩
NICE JOB!!!! 👍
Amazing as usual! Love the look of the infinity mirror ideas!
Thts really cool...thx for posting
Question by buying a Blade how many teeth do you recommend that should be on the blade.
Can you make a grid of these i would need a grid 7x8 and how would you connect all of them??
Awesome!
Love your explanation!
Will hopefully try somethis similar soon.
Thank you so much for sharing !!! ... This was very helpful ... !!!
why some mirrors don't have the infinity effect when looked at from the front?
You can think of pasting the pp film over acrylic to prevent scratches
Did you ever end up creating one with a scene in it? I'm curious to see!
And i love creative people, lot of ideas and imagination to fulfill 😊
Really beautiful and interesting. Very good explanation. Congratulations !
Great video, very impressive, professional and informative! Please do follow up those ideas you mentioned about future projects!
Which glass i should use for top merro plz
Great work dude.Excellent YT channel.

you made Infinity Mirror Out Of Acrylic very cool bro...👍
What’s the quality difference between 3 way glass and 2 way acrylic?
What are the dimmensions of the frame and the mirrors? This was an awesome diy btw!
11:43 were you able to?
So cool!
That's great bro...inspire me
Have you ever tried using letters in the middle of the mirror? Will it look good too?
Amazing..... Salam dari Indonesia 🙏👍👍👍
Firstly congratulations for the channel and excellent work. What name on the red ribbon do you use? I didn't find it in Brazil
You can also use a wood blade if you turn the blade around. So it runs backwards. Need to take small bits.
hey I've always wondered that do we need to put the Two way reflective sheet on the entire surface... or can we put it just under the LED strips? Like if the LED strip is on the circumference then we can put the 2 way reflective sheet on just the circumference of the glass plate? Will that work?

EXCELLENT PROFESSIONAL PRESENTATION
Nice & Cool 👍
"glass does come in a frosted flavor" somehow I knew you're gonna say that 😂
Nice job mate. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks!!
How would it look like, if you were to hang it on the cealing 🔝 with something that looks like a stove and turn it on
Get some glass etching cream for the edges. It what they use to etch beer mugs and decorative mirrors.
Another awesome project!
I've seen these before and wondered how difficult it would be to replicate.
With your motivation/instruction, I going to have to try it for myself.
Thanks you!
Thanks for taking the time to watch! I love how many different ways you could construct something like this.
so cool. do you sell them?
awesome man thanks
Thanks for an amazing view
Amazing video - thx so much
Al Jacobs. Again an excellent video BUT the parts list does not get me anywhere. I called Amazon help and they don't understand it either?? IDEAS????
You know we want to know more about working with acrylic! ;)
How about a pedestrian alley with trees in both sides making like a tunnel, i'm prety sure it will look awesome.
Great video btw, thank you.
Your explanation is too cool 👌
Great job, I'll surely try👍😀
I’ve always wanted a Dan Armstrong acrylic guitar. Never considered the scratch factor.
Very cool thanks for the video
Yes could you please make a video on working with acrylic, I started working with acrylics. Thank you. Love you videos
Blue tape the acrylic down the tablesaw cut line-reduces chips immensely.
Great job
Excellent. Thanks.👍🇬🇧
Nice job, 😎 thinking of doing this on a PC case with a glass front somehow 😁
Thank you!
Tip-top work as ever, fella!
Great job! I'm your new follower and subscriber... 😊
awesome!
At the end, you forgot to say no pun intended 12:30
What glasses are those?
Acrylic
Hello
Can I apply a one-way silver film to a plane glass to form a 2-way mirror and use for my project?
Looks dope, thanks for the explanation! Keep it up! Looking forward to your next idea.
Hi There! Love this. You make this look SO easy. :)
Can you share the name of the tape and lights? Also where did you get the one way mirror from? I usually use plexi glass and lay down one of those films which people use for car windows.
such a good video!
I like your video
Very cool video!! Love your content.
Lit 😍😍
Sure. No problem. Just add another material that I want to work with. So how much are you donating to my bigger house so I can store all this stuff?
It does give me ideas on lights I want to make with LEDs.
I'll send a check...
Honestly man I could see you really benefiting from acrylics and lights in your projects.
@@InspireWoodcraft So many ideas... now once I get rid of this cold I got in California....
One of these days we will meet face to face.
Thanks for sharing
nice one! :) I didnt find another videos as you mentioned in the end, can you please link me up? :)
❤
Nice and amzing 😍😍😍
I made one too 😅 but not cool as this one 😍😋
