Almost three years ago (?!) I did a quick and dirty dwarven mirror for my mines of moria. Never have really been that happy with it so I thought I would try again.

This was my inspiration - a picture from The Free Peoples book.

Image

Prior attempt.

Image

Image

One of the reasons I didn't like it was the proportions were all wrong, the hex nut I used was too fat. Trip to the hardware store and bought a new one.

Image

Same method as before, used a piece of foil.

Image

Indented it with a marble and a tool I have.

Image

Built a wood frame around the top and side this time to make it less hex nutish.

Image

Image

Image

Who knows, maybe in another three years I'll try again. :-D

I liked the old one, but this is a nice improvement.
