Bodgit & Scarper

We have a number of largish mirrors in the garage and we decided that the largest one, with the most ornate (and heavy) frame, would look nice in the current dining room, soon to be lounging around/childrens playroom.
When we got it out of the garage we discovered a piece of the surround had been broken off. Rather than go for one of the other, plainer, mirrors we had a look at what we could do.
A piece of wooden stick, used for propping up Orchids, was about the right thickness so we cut off the right length. I put it into a vice, with smooth jaws, with one side sticking up a bit proud. I used a chisel to slice off the top to make a smooth surface to fit into the gap.
Gorilla wood glue, and a clamp, fixed it into place. Some DIY filler, used for filling small holes and gaps in walls, was used to blend in the sides. When it was all set I used sandpaper to take off the excess and smooth the filler.
I think it turned out really well although it would have benefited from a bit more elbow grease with the sandpaper.
We also discovered a crack in one corner, must have been dropped at some time. More of the Gorilla wood glue went into the crack and, after it had time to work its way down into the crack, I used more filler so I could smooth it over so there was no indentation.
Marlane did her magic with the 'Frenchic' paint, and finisher coat and Voila, Bob's yer Uncle.
Not quite 'Repair Shop' (UK TV programme) standard but not bad for us amateurs. 
The finished mirror is now up on the wall, see EXTRA. The repaired side is nearest the camera.
