I did notice the magnifier! Very spiffy. (Oz doesn't think well of your proposed alternate use for it, I bet!)
I use one of these for all my jewelry work; I'd be lost without it. Also another swing-arm lamp for extra light (and often a third, if it's night and the window isn't giving me daylight). I can work peyote stitch for hours on end without eyestrain with that setup.
Oh, Your Mightiness, I didn't mean *you* were small! Perish the thought. No, what I meant was that I didn't think you'd be pleased to have your Minion attending to other creatures.
It is lovely and very flexible! And came from Tindalls on King St (under £7, too: if it were aimed at the jewellery market it would have pink or purple rubber grips and cost three times as much).
Just going through life succumbing to new vices...?
(I have one of these - bought when I realised that I couldn't hold a DIN plug, and the cable to go into it, and the solder, and the soldering iron, with just two hands.)
