Book Nook Mirror Placement

[@ticktick1981]

This lady was on a TV series called, Best in Miniature, it was a really great series. I loved everything she made. I’m really happy I came upon this site. She is wonderful

[@tinamacdonaldminiminutia]

It certainly was fun... you can watch the series on CBC Gem, or Discovery Plus in England.

[@shanemb1013]

This is a great video for beginners. I am starting to get interested in this, but some of those I've seen are really complex. Thank you for taking the time to actually teach these methods. This will be helpful when I start doing it. You are a good teacher.

[@kittyallen5294]

Ditto.

Greetings from across The Pond 🙋‍♂ I'm new to book nooking, so I found this to be a very informative and instructive video; just what I was looking for! I've also been experimenting with adding an infinity mirror and leds inside, which also creates that illusion of depth. The book nooks, and box frame dioramas, that I have so far made, have been scratch built; not the kit form that a lot of people buy to construct, but the basic principles are the same. Anyway, I've liked 'n' subbed! 👍

[@DazO9874]

Thank you Tina, I'm am looking at making a book nook. The information here will help. God bless you

[@deoepicz]

Okay, I already knew everything you said. But I'm blown away by your attention to explain the stuff... and by the way, you're the cutest granny I've seen around here so far. ^^

[@tinamacdonaldminiminutia]

Giggle... I've been clled a lot of things, but "cutest granny" is delightful! Thanks...

[@RoeRoe123]

Omg Tina this is the most informative thing I've seen on the book nooks! I love the angled mirror for continuity, and the lighting...a 9 volt! Rechargeables 🤗 Thank You! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! Btw I miss my Granny will you adopt me?? Please?? 😁 She would be much older than you if still living but I miss our times of crafting together. You'd be crafting Granny on steroids with your knowledge! 😉 New subscriber here and going to check out your videos tonight. Bless you lady.

Very cool demonstration of mirrors...especially the window effect, that one I liked the most. Thanks for showing this.

I love the technical explanation. Very well done!

[@deanneparis8888]

Thank you so much! I have had so many questions about the mirrors in book nooks. Once I heard the info I felt a little dumb, it is a bit elementary, but I needed to hear the info! Now I need an intro to wiring!

[@tinamacdonaldminiminutia]

Glad it was helpful. Too bad I can't help you with wiring...

Olá, Tina! Estou começando nesse universo do Book Nook. Essa aula sobre o uso do espelho é a mais completa que encontrei até agora. Já assisti duas vezes. Vou seguir sua sugestão de fazer os testes na prática. Muito obrigada! Aqui me chamam de Tina também! ❤

[@karenmusa3052]

Hi Tina thanku so much for all these wonderful hints and tips. Just found your channel and have subscribed. I saw a book nook the other day that had the ceiling lowered into the box by a inch or so, so the whole ceiling was available to use for electrics 😃

[@annettegrant6423]

Wonderful and informative, your video popped up 10 mins ago, subbed❤

[@magicxperiment3840]

This video is so helpful! I couldn’t figure out how certain book nooks look like they just keep going off to the side and this video totally explained how to do it. I’m so happy to save myself from buying a super expensive kit and now able to make my own, thank you so much!!!

[@alejandrosalaverria9002]

I gotta say, I feel sorry I hadn't found your video before I started experimenting with mirrors! Thank you so much for the explanation!

Thank you Miss Tina for being so incredibly informative!!! I wish you were one of my teachers at school - I might have done a bit better haha!! (Not shaming the teachers I had, but one more wouldn't have hurt)

[@obscuriosities]

Thank you so much for this! I have a really hard time understanding this kind of stuff theoretically without banging rocks together to see the proof of concept (which would have taken an untenable amount of time without this instruction). I'm attempting to accomplish this in life size in my library and all of the other YT vids on book nooks etc I've seen totally skip over this part of how to actually angle the mirror and what you need where in favor of showing their process. (Hoping u have the same on infinity mirrors)

[@tinamacdonaldminiminutia]

So glad you found it helpful!

[@kristipolston243]

Do you have a video on how to add a window? Also, what scale furnishings would go inside?

[@tinamacdonaldminiminutia]

Sorry, nothing on adding a window. As far as scale goes, the video was made using 1:12 scale accessories, but any scale could be used. It depends on how you want to furnish it. Hope that helps...

[@HannahSchneehage]

Hello, I‘d love to know what kind of mirror you use and where to get it. Do you use foil? Or is it glass? I‘m so excited! Best, Hannah

I'd love to help, but cannot find a good source for a one-way mirror that would fit in a book nook. Anyone got any ideas?

[@lidia1407]

@@tinamacdonaldminiminutia Thank you for your answer Tina. Do you mean one way or two ways mirror? I'm confused but I've seen acrilic ones, both of them, that do the job pretty good even better than the glass ones. Sorry, my English is not very good, I'm from Spain 😅

HI! what was the name of the foam you used?

[@tinamacdonaldminiminutia]

I tend to call it just Styrofoam, but the proper name is Extruded Polystyrene Insulation (Foamular) made by Owen Corning. There are a number of types on the market in a wide variety of thicknesses. I use the 1/2" for Book Nook purposes. I also have some 2 1/2" thick stuff which can be carved into incredible stone work or bases for 1:48 inch buildings (think a castle sitting on a craggy rock). Hope this helps...
