[Music] now that we’ve got our bass let’s
now that we’ve got our bass let’s
now that we’ve got our bass let’s measure out two lines that we will carve

lighting will look more normal but the effect will be a little bit diminished I
effect will be a little bit diminished I
effect will be a little bit diminished I like to leave about 3 inches of space
like to leave about 3 inches of space
like to leave about 3 inches of space with our lines measured out we now need
with our lines measured out we now need
with our lines measured out we now need to cut grooves about halfway down into
to cut grooves about halfway down into
to cut grooves about halfway down into the foam I’m going to use this handsaw
[Music]
[Music] you want to be sure that the saw is
you want to be sure that the saw is
you want to be sure that the saw is perfectly perpendicular to the poem so
perfectly perpendicular to the poem so
perfectly perpendicular to the poem so that your slots are straight up and down
that your slots are straight up and down
that your slots are straight up and down with the slots the way we’ve cut them
with the slots the way we’ve cut them
with the slots the way we’ve cut them our pane of glass will fit into the
our pane of glass will fit into the
our pane of glass will fit into the slots but our mirror is a little bit
slots but our mirror is a little bit
slots but our mirror is a little bit thicker so we need to widen that slot so
thicker so we need to widen that slot so
thicker so we need to widen that slot so it fits well to widen the slot for the
it fits well to widen the slot for the
it fits well to widen the slot for the mirror let’s just take a piece of
mirror let’s just take a piece of
mirror let’s just take a piece of sandpaper and wrap it around a popsicle
sandpaper and wrap it around a popsicle
sandpaper and wrap it around a popsicle stick and run it through the groove we
stick and run it through the groove we
stick and run it through the groove we need to make sure that our mirror and
need to make sure that our mirror and
need to make sure that our mirror and our glass stay perfectly parallel to
our glass stay perfectly parallel to
our glass stay perfectly parallel to each other so let’s make another piece
each other so let’s make another piece
each other so let’s make another piece of foam that will go on top of the two
of foam that will go on top of the two
of foam that will go on top of the two and hold them straight up and down this
and hold them straight up and down this
and hold them straight up and down this piece of foam I want to be about one
piece of foam I want to be about one
piece of foam I want to be about one inch narrower on both sides of the glass
inch narrower on both sides of the glass
inch narrower on both sides of the glass this piece of foam in the end will be
this piece of foam in the end will be
this piece of foam in the end will be entirely covered up by the decorative
entirely covered up by the decorative
entirely covered up by the decorative parts of the infinity mirror it needs to
parts of the infinity mirror it needs to
parts of the infinity mirror it needs to hold the pane of glass in the mirror in
hold the pane of glass in the mirror in
hold the pane of glass in the mirror in place but it doesn’t need to be as
place but it doesn’t need to be as
place but it doesn’t need to be as extensive as the bases the grooves that
extensive as the bases the grooves that
extensive as the bases the grooves that will hold the mirror and the glass on
will hold the mirror and the glass on
will hold the mirror and the glass on our base are three inches apart so if
our base are three inches apart so if
our base are three inches apart so if there are three inches apart on the top
there are three inches apart on the top
there are three inches apart on the top as well the two planes should be

now because my pane of glass is a little
now because my pane of glass is a little bit smaller than my mirror my one inch
bit smaller than my mirror my one inch
bit smaller than my mirror my one inch thickness of foam is actually not thick
thickness of foam is actually not thick
thickness of foam is actually not thick enough to build a cap on top of this so
enough to build a cap on top of this so
