Very nice Leo! and thanks for the explanation on how you make them.
Thank you Jim, and you are welcome

Those little mirrors look good.
As for supply, you should be able to get round mirrors at any glass shop, custom cut to any size you want. Or, if you're OK with plastics, you can get Plexiglas mirror in various thicknesses, and this you could pressure-mount and turn on your own lathe.

Good points. I might still ask at my local glass shop, just out of curiosity (especially since there isn't any large craft supply stores anywhere in my area), but you're right, I doubt they'd go that low.
I've purchased round mirrors and turned frames for them, but they've been larger--up to 12"--and as I recall, they were only a couple bucks each from a local glass shop.
And yes, a plastics mirror may scratch, which is why I said "iif you're OK with plastics." For some projects, though, a plastic mirror might be preferable...lighter weight, less brittle, and it can be shaped with woodworking tools. Not suggesting that anyone's mirrors should be plastic, just throwing that out there as an option.
