picture is from Rockler's website, no I don't tie flies!My dh gets e mail notification from Rockler, a woodwork supply site on sales. The last sale I got this great led magnifying lamp. You can clamp it on your worktable or it has a magnet in the base and you can just attach it magnetically to a metal table or machine or it attaches to the clamp magnetically. It works on battery or household current. It doesn't take up a lot of room and I push it out of the way when I don't need it. Having had issues with the buttonholes I've been trying to make today it was a godsend when I had to rip them out! They are having a sale again so I though I'd pass on the information.

That looks like a really good one. I have a lamp with a magnifier attached to the sewing table, but I also recently bought one of those that you strap to your head, you know; the ones that look like something a welder would use for eye protection, lol! It works great for beading so I don't care how silly I look.
ReplyDeleteConsidering all the beading you have in your future, I'd say that saving your eyesight is whole lot better than looking silly!
ReplyDeleteThe lamp looks like a great tool. Thanks for sharing the info.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteGood thing I looked at the Rockler page! I was going to ask if you'd taken up fly tying also... ;)
I have a similar magnifier, please take care that if you do not use it cover it with a piece of cloth because sunlight can start a fire.
ReplyDeleteOh, I may need to order one of these. Thanks for the heads-up - I was just picking black thread out of black fabric, and even with my reading glasses my eyes were crossing.
ReplyDeleteIs this picture from home? Whose glasses are those???
ReplyDeleteI have one of those "third hand" thingies but I like this much better!
