Magnifier Glass Kit

A magnifying glass with a heavy brass bezel housing a high quality X 2 precision ground glass lens. A good fastening assembly for mounting the handle to the bezel ring assures that it will always stay together and provide years of service. Select a piece of figured wood for the handle, turn it to your design, assemble the parts and you have a magnifying glass superior to most others available. This project is best turned between centres with a dead centre driving or a wooden drive in a chuck and a revolving tail centre.

The picture below shows the finished piece and assembled in different types of wood or material to obtain a sample of the end result. Please note this detail, ONLY mechanisms for assembly are provided.
