Week 7

The following materials are required in order to cut a round glass:

- Glas cutting pen
- Glass (we took glass from an old picture frame)
- Wooden round template

Cutting the glass was one of the most challenging aspects of the project. The glass was taken from a inside a picture frame. Luckily, the frame had double sided glass, as one side was broken when we tried to take it out of the frame. We had to be extra careful to not break the second glass. Later we borrowed a glass cutter which is surprisingly a very small device to cut a thick glass. Then me measured the exact diameter of the mirror and made a wooden template of the same diameter, so that we could cut the window. Eventually we cut out a perfect circle using this template and the small glass cutting pen.

We encountered a problem with a frame. We at first didn't have any idea about how we are going to make a frame around the mirror and the glass. We came out with an idea to use the protective material that the mirror came with originally from the store.
