Third hand lens: make it and you

Third hand lens: make it and you
My mother is fond of a variety of hedge-made. What else to do in retirement when the season cottages until spring closed.

So she stitches from style to style, from crafts to crafts of various sizes. Including, with fine detailing, requiring at her age already resort to a magnifying glass. But at the same time, it is necessary that both hands be free, involved in creativity. Therefore, there is nothing easier than making another, albeit static.

To do this, you will need:
Here is such a lighter, naturally already inoperative:

directly magnifier:

a piece of absolutely any form of thick plastic, plywood, laminate for the base - specially put a ruler next to it, so that the approximate dimensions are clear:

Plus one M4 screw with a countersunk head 20 mm long, and a nut with a washer for it.

We don’t take off any sizes, we all figure it out, we try on in place.

Of the tools you will need:
• hacksaw;
• file for metal;
• drills 4 and 10 (for countersinking) mm;
• a screwdriver with a nozzle and a key for 7.
Plus a hot glue gun with a colorless rod for him. One of the readers is grimacing, adding something like "so he does not give any strength, this is nonsense, and nothing more." I’m in a hurry to upset: I’ve already made a similar “arm”, only for myself, I don’t need special strength there. And vice versa, it is important not to slap anything and not to scratch the lens: it should remain as transparent as possible. So let's get started.
What will be the basis of a little processed and made a hole in the middle. "Bed" is ready:

Now, the "arm" itself. We don’t need the whole lighter, but only these details:

And since you will probably take not a new one that is already well used, be sure to wash everything BEFORE you assemble it into a single design. Then it will be more difficult and not so convenient.

In the iron part of the nose of the lighter, you need to make a slot:

its shape / thickness will directly depend on the lens that was taken.

Assembling the design: stem with screw:

flexible "foot":

directly magnifier with mount:

"Groom" with the basic design. Done. And again, we use an adhesive thermal gun for assembly-fixing. Whereas excess glue is simply removed.

That's all wisdom.At the same time, you spent only a little less time reading this article than you would have done it all yourself. Whereas the convenience of using-applying this homemadeobviously.

ino53,
it is on the snot, and holds. Mom, for reliability, dribbled a moment of clear, that gel: it did not get better.
Those. the lens only keeps on, sorry, "snot" (this is jargon!) and enough strength? I have to try, otherwise my construction is very scary.

will wait
This idea prompted me to create a new homemade product.
I will try to please. and it is easy to implement goodgood
but this mastery is needed by the masters of all (almost all) professions.

just about them and thought

And the backlight - maybe I’ll think, I’ll modify it.
Take a look at the selfie rings! yes

Ok I will pass it on.
No need to weight ... a more powerful lens is definitely not needed
If you use the "flexible neck" for focusing, then weighting the base is highly desirable. I did not talk about the "power" of the lens, solely about the diameter, to increase the field of view, especially since
So she stitches from style to style, from crafts to crafts, different sizes
yes
P.S. Hello to your mother, apparently, she has our brother, Master! goodgood

As well as the diameter of the magnifier: not always convenient.

No need to weight: a large base compensates. I made myself similar, took into account errors. And the backlight - maybe I’ll think, I’ll modify it.
While a more powerful lens is definitely not needed: the distance between the homemade product being made and the "third hand" is perfectly compensated: a large increase can also be bad.
countersunk screw M4 hat 20 mm long
Head but a little shorter! I think the basis must be weighted for stability. And for mom, I would have looked at the table lamp on a flexible leg, and I would have chosen a larger magnifier with a diameter. But for mom’s credit yes
