Abstract / Organic / Irregular / or Blobs style mirrors are a fun and funky trend I like quite a bit, but they're still pretty expensive, so today I did something I've wanted to try for a while: I turned some of those cheap $7 wall mirrors that you can pick up at Walmart or Home Depot into my own, designer inspired wall mirror. I did a few different versions and learned some good glass and mirror cutting lessons along the way! If you build some be sure and share it with me @modernbuilds on instagram so I can see!

MODERN BUILDS
Hi, My name is Mike Montgomery and I'm a MAKER; a designer, builder, and full-time content creator. Accessibility is my focus with Modern Builds, not simply accessibility of designs, but accessibility in materials, information, and projects themselves. I've focused on creating furniture and DIY projects that are simple enough that any beginner maker can accomplish, yet interesting enough that any expert might be inspired. Building and making is becoming less and less of an exclusive hobby and profession. My goal is to reduce that separation even further.

Big thanks to Keeps for supporting the channel! Here’s the site if you want to check them out!
Lol. The site isn't even in this comment, man.
Running white led lights around the mdf on the back could add to the effect. Awesome project😊
That would be sick!! I should've done that
Really great idea!
Really love this!
Put 2 mirrors on opposite walls and put blue leds on one and orange leds on the other.
PLEASE USE RESPIRATORY PROTECTION WHEN SANDING GLASS! The tiny glass dust particles are sharp and can couse serious lungs problems. Actually the glass dust is also extremely harmful to the eyes and skin. So please protect yourself well next time! Anyhow, this project is incredible Mike!
Good tip, thanks!!
not to mention the mdf dust
Why is this not pinned to the top? Super important info
@@Nurse_Lucy because functioning people know to exercise common sense and watch a DIY video for the purposes of the ideas and inspiration - since technique(s) are mostly optional.
Super refreshing to see a project that doesn’t require very many power tools and is affordable and user friendly for us folks who are not very familiar with tools.
I’d love to see more videos of projects like these.
This was such a fun experiment, now that I've had some success with the cheap, thin mirrors, I'd love to scale it up a notch and make a BIG BLOB sometime soon!
When will you do renovation in your house kitchen??
Mike, at the cutting edge of DIY fashion and home decor
These are really cool. You could do so much with this: back lighting around the edge on the mdf, a meandering bubble pattern across a huge wall, edging with brass...
Wow amazing!! I’ve tried scoring glass before and I’m shocked how well you did it. Great job. Very inspiring.
Great idea, this opens a whole lot of possibilities: nation shapes, symbols and such according to the space where they will end up. Very cool!
This is so creative! I love that it looks more high end, but the materials are affordable. Seriously thinking about trying this out, but putting some fat MDF frames around them. Really cool video!
I was worried there for a second but you killed it. They look so cool. I imagine with frames they would look super high end. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
these are really cool thank you sooo much for making this!!!
The part for Keeps was so full of energy, i had strong Billy Mays vibes. And then at the end you pulled out the HERCULES HOOK! love it man, 10/10 🔥
Good working, good information
Everyone will pray for me so that I can move forward
Modern as allways 💯💯
Portal mirrors here I come!
Super cool idea, Mike! I gotta try this
lloveeeee this idea!! thanks!!!!
Great project Mike & well executed! Personally, I would put a wooden edge banding around the edges for stability & because I think that it would look great. You could stain or paint the wood in different color schemes. Just a thought..... 👍👍😉😉
I love all of them ❤
This is such a dope idea !
Really awesome
You should make something with stain glass. 🙌🏾🙌🏾
These are pretty 😎 😍😍. These also be lovely to use and make cool looking mirror clock's and you could embellish the front with whatever you'd like on it, ie...rhinestones, tiny rocks, lol and whatever else. Thanks for the tutorial!!😃😃😃
love it!!! 😁
@@ModernBuilds Thanks! I think I might try making a starburst🌟 style mirror 🪞 with your tutorial, hoping for the best!!!😃🤞 lol
Very nice Sir 😀
That's super cool. Next project make the map of the world with mirrors
Hey Mike, Loved this project. My wife was messing around with the same concept for a friend but added an LED Light string around the back that shines against the wall. We should have taken some photos, but we didn't.
Thanks for sharing, Felix
Cool Idea, I should've done that!
Use some light oil on the cutting path. It seems to help with dulling.
Bro you have such a creative mind! I am jealous. Love the vid. Also, did you paint your tools? Just kinda odd to see them all solid colors...
A wall filled with blobs would look amazing
Very nice!
Thats cool
Got an idea for you. Try to make one of a world map, difficult but I think it would look incredible. Good luck Mike.
you try!! 😜
@@ModernBuilds oh man I would if I had the room lol
Oh, I'm totally team 3-blob!
Those are nice... I want to try and make these, but use some kind of block or something to make it look like it's floating away from the wall. Great work!!
did you watch the video... that's exactly what I did lol
@@ModernBuilds yes I watched the video. Lol
Wow 😍😍😍
Duuude, don't EVER sand glass without PPE. This stuff can damage your airways and lungs instantly.
thankyou safety is key!
Very freakin cool Mike. Right now I'm on Team #twoblob but, either way again really cool!!! Hoping all is well Bud, Dirty Jersey out!!
I think I'm on team 2 blob too!
Haven’t you seen the cut glass underwater videos? It dampens all the shattering.
Nice work!
Would've been great to make multiple pieces to look like one big cactus :)
That's a fun ida!!
10:15 I was confused that u sprayed the marked side this time but makes more sense
I don’t have a sander like yours to clean up the mirror, but I do have a belt sander and a hand sander. Will those work?
Beautiful! Design with 3s, it’s more esthetic.
Cool stuff, Mike. I had never seen one of these 'blob style' mirrors, so this was quite an education for me. The Harbor Freight glass cutters don't last too long, do they? Thanks for sharing this video with us.
Thanks for watching!! I did a decent amount of scoring before it seemed to go dull. I want to try one of the self-oiling class cutting wheels now!
@@ModernBuilds Dave at 'Make Something' swears by the cutters w/an oil reservoir.
Nice Work. Just like a SUPER GLASS CUTTING PRO. I like the tall ones.
#STAYSAFE
#PHILLYPHILLY 🇺🇸
I bought a glass cutter that I never really used, this could be a good next project!
for sure!! I've had mine for a long time too, glad I finally gave it a try
Good
Now, create a disco ball using the mirror scraps...
I saw some one here in Mexico make a really intricate skull and sell it for like 3kusd I did the same thing and sold it for like 700usd it sold in about 3 days from posting :3
Can you make a woven cane bed please? The king size is like over 2k 🥺
how can we manually smoothen out the edges after cutting if we dont have the machine, to smoothen out for soft look and so it becomes lesser sharp
The long mirrors look like something the silver surfer would shit out
i kinda wanna do a world map mirror now lmao
they are amazing but the secure fix on the wall is not safe , i would pick something stronger
Maybe i missed it, but did you do anything to smooth the edge of the glass at all?
5:05
How thick is the MDF used in this video??
I rewatched the video. For anyone wondering it’s 1/2 inch mdf
Gloves?
I can't help but see a giant reflective turd when I look at the larger ones. Yet. I would still want one on my wall.
I am from India can i get this cheap wall mirrors from Amazon or Flipkart????
Clever shape, so there cannot be dust in the corners.
6:57 isn‘t mdf prone to warp n bend
I thought for sure you were going to run LEDs on the edge of that MDF to give it an outer glow effect
I should have!! dang
It’s possible you only needed oil on the first cutting wheel.
💛👍
you should really wear gloves & protect your eyes mate. Please be safe, we need you
Do you think they broke so easily bc you soaked them?
Jesus, I cringed when you broke the glass without any gloves but when you started sending that mirror without the safety goggles...I'm out
*sanding
What a baby
@Modern Builds is an awesome channel. You learn how to build and repair stuff. Including a damaged hairline.
Nailed it 😂
If someone wants my hair I'll give up for free. 🤣 I can't wait till all my hair falls off 🤣
can be cheaper when you order the mirror alone
Start a new trend, infinite blob mirrors!
First comment
What ANSI level gloves for this
Monkey hook. AKA Hercules Hook™️
5:30 why are you screaming my guy
I like the small ones. The big ones look a bit like a turd 💩
.
Am I the only one who thinks these look like Mr Hankey the christmas poo?
Love your tutorial a lot, but why you are talking so loud and heavy in your advertising clip?! ..:P
“America... goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy. She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.”
- John Quincy Adams, 1821
Dear Americans! Your Russian enemy is here, and now I am going to tell you everything you need to know about the war in Ukraine.
Once upon a time, seven centuries before America had been discovered, a nation called Rus’ was formed on the Russian plains with its capital in Kiev. As time went on, this nation-state entered a period of feudal fragmentation (go ask your European friends what does it mean). After reuniting the country the seat of power moved to Moscow (as sometimes happens, to which your German friends can attest), and then to Saint Petersburg. NB: the people of Russia were united throughout this entire period, and neither Ukrainians nor a Ukrainian government existed until the Communist Revolution of 1917. There were only Russians, a people consisting of three subethnic communities: Great Russians, Little Russians, and Belarussians.
In 1917, Vladimir Lenin seized power and declared that the peoples of Russia have the right to self-determination, going as far as allowing them to separate from the state. The sub-ethnos of Russians that were known as Little Russians suddenly became independent Ukrainians. A noble cause, you say? Keep in mind that Lenin didn’t ask any of these nations whether they wanted this principle to be realized; not a single referendum was held, nor were there basic surveys conducted. Thus, in this unilateral manner, driven by the whims of a single man, Ukraine was created as one of the Republic of the Soviet Union. In this republic the people were forced to study the Ukrainian dialect and had to call themselves Ukrainians. Those who refused lost their jobs and those who continued to refuse were murdered. Half of Lenin’s Ukraine consisted of purely Russian regions - the entirety of the eastern and southern parts of the newly-formed republic.
The Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and independent Ukraine appeared (for the first time in history). A state cult of Nazi collaborationists emerged immediately in this newly formed Ukraine. Ukrainian guerillas joined up with radical Muslim terrorists, who later launched several terrorist attacks on our Russian metro. At this point a third of the Ukrainian population was still ethnically Russian and the majority of the population of Ukraine considered Russian to be their native language.
However, the Ukrainian government did not give up. They set on eradicating education conducted in Russian. Why? Well if the majority of the country was Russian, then what could possibly justify Ukraine’s existence? This question fermented in the minds of all Russians and Ukrainians throughout the state’s history. Meanwhile, corrupt oligarchs and the government knew the true answer - to freely rob the Russian/Ukrainian people. Both the elder and the younger Bidens clearly understood it and the latter found himself comfortably employed in a cushy position at the Burisma Holdings.
The process of ‘Ukrainization’ went on until it peaked in 2014. Then a part of the Ukraine’s population could no longer stand this historic fate and rebelled.
Well-minded citizens of Ukraine did not take this process and fate as ‘nobly’ as Lenin had.
And just like that 42 people were executed and burned alive in Odessa. All across Ukraine Russian activists were beaten, thrown in Ukraine Security Service’s torture chambers, massacred in the streets. We are not complaining to you because this is not your war, Americans, but you have to understand exactly whom you are defending.
Russians of Donbass region took to the streets to rally peacefully. Ukrainians crushed these rallies with APCs, quelled them with gunfire. Peaceful rallies turned into an armed uprising lasting eight years. All those years the Ukrainian government constantly shelled Donbass, killing Russian civilians en masse and murdering children. Just ponder on this for a moment: Ukraine killed 13,000 people prior to the start of the Russian operation.
Diplomacy failed. Every agreement regarding Donbass was thwarted by the Ukrainian side. Ukraine was not prepared to give the Russians of Donbass neither the right to speak their native language, nor to bear the name of their nation, nor even the basic right to express their views. The only thing that Ukraine wanted to do in relation to Donbass was to take it over by force, to murder all dissenters, and to secure its resources.
And now it has finally been decided to solve the Ukrainian issue. Our indecisive president has been delaying military action for eight years. Our nation has been waiting for eight years.
Now you and your self-declared global civilized community attack us with sanctions in response. And for this you will pay.
In fact, you already are and you will continue to pay. You will pay for it at your gas stations and at grocery stores, at your homes and yes, even in space. But what exactly are you paying for? You pay for the right of Ukrainians to murder people for their ‘unpleasant’ nationality. You will freeze at home because you have traded comfort for the flames of death camps for Russians. You will drive less and at a greater expense so that the Ukrainian Nazis may murder more children. You will eat less and spend more so that your corrupt President may supply arms to people who cower behind human shields. Your dreams of colonizing space will fade away so that the fighters of Nazi battalions may continue to commit war crimes. Right now they are shooting civilians in the back for attempting to flee beseiged cities. They kill, torture, and skin prisoners-of-war alive. They bomb residential areas. You will pay an enormous price for taking sides with injustice and lies.
Yes, we shall pay too. We shall pay so that the genocide of Russian people will come to an end. We shall pay to see the justice restored. We shall pay so that the heart and the name of our people will not be wiped out from the history of our land, the final resting place of our valiant Russian ancestors. We shall pay so that Ukrainian war criminals stop dancing on the bodies of our Russian children. We shall pay with our comfort and livelihood to stop this genocide. You will pay to keep it going.
Do not get us wrong, Americans, we do not want war. Deep down we are a peaceful people. However, we are ready to pay a price tenfold to what you are willing to pay. We fight for life, you fight for death.
I do not tell you what to do with Mr. Biden’s administration. However, your page in the world history after this episode will be marked with the honorary title “Proud Supporters of Genocide.” Are you really willing to do that?
Sincerely yours,
Russian invader

Bruh how many years bad luck is this?
Why do you scream 😵💫
Love them. I just wish this guy could talk, instead of yell all the time.
I only wish we could get more filler content... Hey presto.
why you screaming
Meh…
Why is he yelling? 🤷🏻♂️
I like your content but the yelling way of talking is really putting me off.
These look terrible
Pls, back to the wood...
When will you further your renovation of the house. These videos are irrelevant. Continue your house Reno build please.
Stop screaming and start making big impressive things again
To me, they look ugly and very amaturish.
