@@LRo157 You ought to see my first try.Real bad. Second attempt will be better. Especially with this mirror set up.Trying to do it the opposite the mirror tells you is a trip. And with the other hand. OMFG!!
Thanks a lot. I just finished mine a couple hours ago and it folds up perfectly for transport. The mirrors at Walmart were $5.88 and the hardware cost about $5. I included washers to prevent the tips of the screws from piercing through the backs of the frames but it works great!
Thanks for the video! Mirrors don't seem to be affordable anymore. I suggest surfing Craigslist and Facebook marketplace for used mirrors. I'm going to try for larger mirrors to make a "super" version of this. Probably 20-24 inch width. I have wide shoulders (22") so the 16- width might be restrictive.
tl;dw narrow utility hinges 1.5in tee hinges (T-hinges) 2.0in 3 x 16in by 16in wall mirrors mirror hinge #1: mark hinge drill holes then drill & screw with narrow utility hinges mirror hinge #2: drill & screw fat part of t-hinge into center mirror, long arm of t-hinge should be bent inwards 90deg with pliers to allow folding
B Frizzy I’m sure it can be done with some “over the door hooks”. Personally, I made my mirrors with the purpose of not having to cut my hair in the bathroom.. cause I tend to take long and don’t want anyone waiting on me.. lol. I might make a video on how I stand it.
Solution: Find 3 plain mirrors with screw holes in each corner. Get a sheet of ply wood & cut the shape you need for each mirror. Then screw the mirrors to each piece of ply & put the hinges on etc. Done!!
Could just get all hinges the same and put one set on back side. Folding one mirror back . No bending of "t" hinges.Store on exposed mirror up.Use door hanger brackets for using. Not wall.
hdtripper1 unfortunately, doing that would not allow the 3rd mirror to move forward all the way; the hinge is not wide enough so the two mirror frames would hit each other.
@@highsandlows_ Thanks for reply. I was imagining this in my mind. Now that I imagine your reply,I get it.I'll be doing it your way!Going to add a strip light ,though.
I bought a trifold picture frame and took out glass and put mirror in it’s place. I ordered mirrors on Amazon for $9 for 6...cldnt buy just 3.. unfortunately5x7 trifold was largest I could find. Anyway this is Just another option because that $150 on Amazon is ridiculous... clearly we don’t have friends or money since we are cutting our own hair so why would they think we have an extra $150 ? If I did I would go get my hair cut .. 🤗🤦🏼♀️
I would go to the Walmart website and double check if your local stores have them. I haven’t seen similar ones anywhere else, but if I do, I’ll update this.
Could someone help me with the recommended measures to do so? Do you know the size of the original self cut system? I would greatly appreciate your help.
I got a bunch of hinges for free off of things people through away in the alley… No one else gets them cuz they think germs will kill them if they touch it… I just bring my screwdriver at night and take them home…
Hey random question. I made one .. perfect but didn't put the lights so far... but I have used it any way to hide the backing of the mirror ? And I have it hung on my door and it tends to one side to open fully and one kinda just doesn't want to stay open a certain angle.. any tips on how to make it stiffer to keep it open ..? If that makes sense
Unfortunately the hinges I used in the video aren’t stiff enough for them to stay in place. The best way to remedy this, is to make sure the mirror is not at an angle (not tilting forward). You can do this by adding some ‘felt pads’ on the bottom side so that it’s level against the door... and that way the side mirrors won’t move around too much. As for the closing part, you can get some Velcro strips and stick them on, so that when you close it, it stays. Just don’t put a big piece.. or else you’re gonna struggle to open it lol
Bought some clippers, got home and no hand held mirror, tried usin my ipad as mirror and without glasses im blind. Longstory short, i could use a barber right now haha
@@highsandlows_ haha yea bro. I just figured it's a better idea to stop or else I will mess my hair up even more. Better to get a barber will I still have hair that can be fixed
Lindokuhle 247 just like you hang any other mirror. Just mount the middle one with some screws, screw into a stud if you want it secure, or just a nail. Alot of these mirrors have nail hangers on the back.
It sure is inconvenient to use it on a table. I’ll be making a video on how I hang it on my wall. If you want to hang it on your door, you can check out this guys video: ua-cam.com/video/2aEzSIB7rdw/v-deo.html
armchairgangsta c This one is hanging from a screw on the wall. But if you don’t want to make a hole on your wall, I recommend buying a ‘command strip picture hanger’ from Walmart.. it’s strong enough to hold it and you can remove it in the future without leaving damage on the wall.
Jawsjawsjawsrg I made a wooden stand for it, but if you want to hang it over the door... you’re gonna need a set of screw hooks and “over the door” kit like he used ^
We hung it to a secure nail on the wall; but if you don’t want to screw a nail in your wall, you can use this instead: www.walmart.com/ip/3M-Command-Wire-Back-Sticky-Nail-Metal-Hanger-1-Hanger/17474422?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=1068&&adid=22222222228016748687&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=40940102792&wl4=pla-78876513752&wl5=9011841&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=17474422&veh=sem&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI27zc65rz7AIVU-WGCh0kfQ2WEAQYBCABEgLpY_D_BwE

Thanks brother! ☺️🙌
Anyone else in quarantine and tryna cut their own hair? lol
stephen apineru you got a whole month to grow it back if you mess up lol
For real
yeah, I'm right handed so my right side looks good but cant say the same for the left

My Home Depot had the hinges located @ Aisle 13, Bay 23: HomeHardware,Hinges
Hope that helps for anyone

The same isle in every store though?
You guys know you can look it up on there app or website, it gives you the location

Glad to hear that 👍👌
Any way you can link the mirrors? The ones I found are around 30$ each
You did it like a pro. RESPECT.
Thank you sir, didn't come out quite as clean as yours but the instructions and part list made it worlds easier.
*Revs Drill few times before use* “Yeah, definitely earned my liked and subscribe”

Just made mine today! Thanks for the video!
Now your mirrior came out real good. Looks professional!👍👌
Lakeisha Galloway thanks :)
Respect to you for actually giving him the credit. Walmart Canada is a scammer $25 for a piece of these mirrors. But great job
Doing the back side is the whole point in having a mirror setup like this. You could did your front and sides with just 1 them mirrors head on.
Thanks Bro!!
