In the garage, I had ammassed more than 700 mirrors. Here are 28 stacks of 25. The tall piles are thick mirrors. Inspired by an ABBA song on AM radio, I decided to construct a 5 foot disco ball instead. |
There was no advantage to the thick mirrors. They weighed more and required more glue to stay stuck to the dish. |

On the fourth of July, some friends came over and I recruited Eric to help me glue and stick mirrors. |
I was surprised to find that the rows & columns method of arranging the mirrors was working out fine, with very little open space left between them. |

The next weekend, I really wanted to finish the dish, so I spent many hours gluing mirrors. By using the dish stand tilting head, I could just manage to reach the entire surface of the dish from the ground. |
I had long wondered if I was going to be crushed, cut or burned on this project. It was almost inevitable. My wrist caught the edge of a glass mirror tile and I got a little cut. I made a note: Always wear safety gloves when working on projects with more than 500 pieces of glass. |
