Magnifing Glass

That’s both an incredibly novel project and a beautiful job building it.

Really, really nice!

thanks Guys! I had the glass for 5 years before final build this my motivation was a trip to the eye doctor were I got my first pair of reading glasses, JJ I used minwax red oak stain and several coats of satin polly.

What a cool thing!! There are times when I could sure use one of those… Nice Job, Dave!

Beautifully done and very useful. I have a mag glass with a light, but I don’t use it too much because with it I can see all the defects in my work! That probably won’t be problem for you.

Very good use of reclaimed materials – way to go green..
