Last nights July Beer Tie

Thanks to all for coming out! I think we had 20-25 people in attendance.

For those of you wondering where I bought my portable battery-powered LED lamp, I don't absolutely remember where I bought it, but this one on Amazon resembles it very closely.

Magnificent.  I need one.

And for those of us who have reached that age where lighting is important, magnification also usually helps.

I prefer 3.25 diopter cheaters, Carl. At home I use a 25+ year old Giraffe lamp with a magnifier, both mounted to goosenecks.  

Giraffe is no longer in business. Similar product line up at https://moffattproducts.com/product-category/lamps/

FWIW,  I found that the reading glasses move the plane of focus too close to do work with my hands.  You can slide them down your nose only so far.  By having the magnifier further away, the focus is also further away.  (like the giraffe system)   I've been meaning to try one of these types of movable magnifying glass systems, but have been hesitant to spend the money.

The only problem with the head strap that I've found is that it looks goofy, but hey, I'm tying with dead animal stuff on a hook that's too small to see, what do I care.

I use this.  Much cheaper than fancy color tuned halogens.  

Cheers,
