Got the last order of stuff form Amazon yesterday.
Making an approximation of one of these;
for shaving and to improve the inside of the tent a bit...
I decided to make principally because the item from anthropologie
https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/s...M&type=REGULAR
is too heavy (estimate around 4 pounds), but also it is a bit on the spendy side.
This (mirror) https://www.amazon.com/Round-Glass-M...s=round+mirror
+ a 9" cake pan https://www.amazon.com/Chicago-Metal...etallic+9+inch
Plus some approximately 3/4" thick Styrofoam gives me the body;
Glue Styrofoam to mirror as a spacer to center it in the cake pan (helps reduce visual confusion).
...then attach foam to pan.
The Chicago Metallic pan is almost too nice to use for project makin's and the no stick coating has, so far, resisted my attempts to glue the assembly together (trying silicone RTV as an adhesive currently... 24 hour cure time, so no pics yet. Hot melt glue, 2 kinds, has been a no go. If this fails I will probably have to get out the abrasives, to remove the coating/enable a glue-able surface...
The steel pan is also a bit on the heavy side at 1.1 pounds; if I make another I will likely go with either an 8" or 10" aluminum pan, round mirrors are available in both diameters...
I still need to accumulate some 1 inch nylon or polly webbing and some Chicago screws...
Enjoy
