Materials: 1 Malma pine 10″ square mirror + 1 laser etching machine

Description: This hack is pretty simple and straight forward. I just laser-etched flower graphics onto the pine frame.

  1. Is it a hack?
    good question! its clever, its well done, it takes something entirely forgettable and without changing its function dramatically changes its value. I respect Manny’s craft and ingenuity, I dont respect sarcasm that has to be explained.
    Make use of the tools you have, but above all: make something!

  4. Um, who are you people? I don’t have a laser etching machine either (and wouldn’t know one if it slapped then etched me in the face), but that’s no reason for getting nasty.

    It’s a lovely mirror. I now wish I knew more about laser etching.

  8. Laser etching machines are wonderful. My son chose his secondary (high) school largely on the basis that they had one in the tech dept. (Well, I chose it on the basis of a bunch of slightly more important things, but I let him believe that.) Anyone with a school that’s a science and technology specialist (in the UK) or a college with a design department near them, hang out at the gate with lollipops – no don’t, but that would be where to try and find one and beg borrow or simply offer to pay for someone to do a piece on it, they work from all sorts of CAD files.

  9. I have got like 17 laser etching machines at home, but where the hell am I supposed to get a Malma pine 10″ square mirror? Are you kidding me?!
