The metal ones are quite sturdy. As you note, the plastic ones break easily. -- --- Mike Kruger Blog: [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] > |

I made mine, too. Same materials, but it hooks to my eyeglasses. It's usable with any - or no - hat. Wire has an advantage over the plastic, three prong, ball-jointed commercial models. It's much less fragile, and once you bend the wire to give proper focus, it rarely needs refocusing. -- ------------- Frank Krygowski [To reply, remove rodent and vegetable dot com, replace with cc.ysu dot edu] |
