Handmirror

Been working on this for a week, can't see how im going to put the mirror into that. I want to put it from under the carving, from the back. I think i ll have to do a perfect groove that level with carving over it.. still not sure about it lol.

Really really like the mirror, If you get the rebate to work. I would try to put small nails in to secure the back of the mirror to the carving. Use a nail with a small head, if you have a tack hammer I would use that. Also if you have a tiny drill bit try to make some tiny holes to help get the nails started. If you don't have a tiny drill bit then snip the head of one of your small nails (with side cutters?) and use that nail just like you would a drill bit. Once you secure the mirror with the nails you could make the back tidy by cutting some thin ply wood to the correct shape and nail/glue to back. The Photo I have posted is a bad example, you should try to get the nail about 90 degrees & almost flat against the back of the mirror.
