This is what I used to do before I lost vision in my right eye... before I started into horology. Hand wrapped semi precious stones with 20 ga. round half-hard sterling silver wire. It was just a hobby but I had to give it up - I no longer have depth perception. Hmmm.... perhaps I picked the wrong thing to go into - horology I mean.

Hey Tom, That looks like some intricate work. To address your lack of depth perception, I had a watchmaker friend many years ago who had lost an eye when he was young. He became and remained an excellent watchmaker his entire adult life. When asked if it was difficult for him his answer was "no more difficult than anyone else using a loupe. Once a loupe is on one eye all depth perception gained from using two eyes is gone anyway". He made a good point.
Adios for now, Bob

I pick up a loupe for everything now, my eyesight just aint what it used to be and as Bob says, depth perception goes out of the window when using one eye but I have noticed your brain learns and adjusts a little, the more you do it, the easier it gets and now I only stuff my tweezers into a hairspring maybe 3 times out of 20 when it used to be every time

Hey Tom, I'm a little late to the party, but David's comment on the mill brought me here
Nice setup buddy, and the good thing about having a smaller space is the cost saving factor, big space, you need to fill it with more stuff
Looks really nice, you've done a great job and have a nice area in which to work.

Tom, Do you have a preference for a pickling solution? A Youtube video suggested one cup of vinegar to one teaspoon of salt. Another video suggested acid. david

David:
I bought some Black Magic pickle which is supposed to be safe. It comes in a gallon jug to which you just add water.
I don't have a preference yet.
Later, Tom

Tom, I just noticed the picture of the flash supressors. Are they configured to flow in the proper direction? The Smith's little torch has female connedtions on the hose while most torch handpieces have male connections. david
