Workshop spectacles

I?ve worn specs since I was 13 or so and vari-varifocals for a number of years.

For reading etc, I don?t need specs, so the lower bit does nothing.

As a result, for close work, I?ve been able to make a convenient magnifier by removing the lenses from a pair of old frames and fixing a Loupe - I just drilled holes and used small cable ties. It isn?t pretty but it certainly works.

I also have a large, 4 or 5 inch, illuminated magnifying glass on a swing arm - ideal for PCBs etc.
