When you start from bar stock, these things are a LOT of work, to make an accurate tool

Gary, dozens? . It was one item I never managed to get. Lately, I've ondered about supplies in the future for slugs my gun (s) would use. I may have to track some down.

You need new glasses. I can easily see that and I live on my phone. Iphone6

Get lined trifocals. Nobody cares. Get the bottom lense 2.50 at least.

Do it.

Gary

Oh .... and get the bottoms so they focus at about 10". They will TRY to set it for reading length at 17-20". That's too far. What do they know .,,..

Gary,

You are right.. Like I solder at 20" away.. NOT.. I am at 10 inches like you said.

I am going this week these glasses are shot.

For anyone who solders, here I can buy real lead solder the good old lead. The lead free stuff is like a welding rod compared to real lead rosin core. I guess getting caught with this in the USA is a felony now.. ha ha ..

Hi Larry,

Good Man!

Get a deep lense if you can. No granny glasses. Ha.

Here is the reason for "lined" trifocals" (I've had those for 25 years). You get a wider field of vision with lined. The progressive lenses sort of blend out the peripheral vision area. It's not usable lense. That's why you have to turn your head to look straight on with those. See if someone you trust can verify that. Lined are very easy to get used to. People think "oh I could never look thru that little center slit". Your brain does that naturally.

Of course, also .... Lined are far less expensive.

I always get the "transitions" version that darkens in sunlight. They get clear as water inside. Even when they finally get all scuffed up.

There you go Larry. That will be another Dollar on your tab. Hope some of it helps. thumbs up
