            Thanks Allen, I haven't been anywhere, still posting and commenting, just trying to give the mojo a size 10 up the jacksy!
            Now I have new eyes maybe I can see what I'm doing better! Lol
            Next is going to be a Jackal... the 4 wheeled kind not the 4 legged type!

                      The trouble with this site is you see so many good builds I keep adding to my never shortening wish list. Magnifying glasses, preferably with illumination - now added!!!! :smiling2:

                          I’m so short sighted I just look over the top of my normal ones…..my actual vision is about 2.5 times magnification as long as you can hold the object close enough…..
