Cut a ball in half to act as the float since we want to stability and mount the mirror on the flat surface. Put a rod through the bottom of the ball at right angles to the mirror and put a weight on the bottom. You can include to horizontal perpendicular threaded rods with small nuts on them to allow you to make adjustment to make the mirror float horizontally. gl --- On Mon, 1/24/11, Gary LaPook <glapook@pacbell.net> wrote:
