I forgot: the more powerful the magnifier, the closer you have to hold the work. If you leave the lenses on, you can end up waving glue bushes and soldering irons just beyond the end of your nose.
Did I mention that the magnifying lenses don't work with my reading glasses?
My dentist has a pair of glasses with binoculars in the middle of the lens. Must ask her where they come from.


So THAT is why I keep getting blisters on the end of my nose!sign1

That is the biggest reason for using a desk mount magnifier instead of the kind you can wear - it keeps a lens between you and the soldering iron!

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: And all this time I wondered why I felt the need to have a bowel movement every time I sat down to do some modeling.

...and don't forget to put the seat down when yer dun!

Why? My wife has different hobbies of her own! :mrgreen:

"Splish! Splash! I was takin' a bath
Long about a Saturday night.

Rub-dub just relaxin' in the tub,
thinkin' everything was all right."

DON'T FLUSH IT!! ARRRRRGH!!
