 how easy was it to get the lense out of the projecter

To get a lens out of most projectors, all you need to do is pull it off of the front.

Great idea!

But couldn't you use a smaller box with no mirror, and point the iPod in through the back of the box, directly at the lens. That might be simpler and focus better. If you do use a mirror, it might work better with one from an old overhead projector.

Those are painted shiny on the top of the glass, so you don't get a double reflection from the front and back of the glass.
