I bought some aluminum round stock from a
guy last fall.
He had 'sold the farm' and was downsizing.
He said most of the rest of the stuff in
his shop was going in the dumpster so take
anything else I wanted.
I didn't see anything I needed so was on my
way out. Then this thing caught my eye.
I asked how much and he said just take it.
I still hesitated. It looked bad, was
heavily covered in paint overspray but the
round fluorescent light worked so I took
it.
I needed a magnifying glass a couple of
days ago and remembered it.
Had to clean off the lense to see through
it. So this morning I got a rag and used
lacquer thinner to clean all the crud off.
It looks half decent now and I'm glad I
saved it. It magnifys about 4X.
I'll put it on the bench in my shop office.
Slightly cool tool...
