Hey,
My wife just broke her (cheap) hand mirror, so I’m considering making her a new one. Probably in the 6”-8” diameter range. If possible, I’d be interested in using glass that gives 3x or 5x magnification.
Has anyone done this with a magnifying mirror? Any suggested sources for the mirror, even if only the non magnifying variety? I worry that the curvature of the mirror needed to give magnification would make it overly thick, especially with a wood holder.
Thanks,
Tyler
