And I prefer a small halogen spot light to work by rather than a florescent. I can direct the light from the side which gives better depth and shadow detail. Yea, I have those glasses too - but I am still having trouble - I thought that maybe one of the lamp/magnifier would help me out alot better -

When I first started using a scrollsaw I bought a lighted magnifier on a z mount, but had major problems trying to use it because the magnification in the center was slightly different than it was around the edges. I got eyestrain headaches after using it only a short while so I quickly abandoned it. Then I bought a head band type magnifier, and have been using it ever since. I found that I needed the lense to move with my head so that everything that I looked at had the same magnification so that I wouldn't get the headaches. It would be great if I could find a cheap version of the magnifying eyeglasses that surgeons wear, but the cheapest that I've found are about $1000 and way out of my budget. For now I'm sticking with the headband type.

Charley I saw some of those a while back that were around $300, I thought about it but just couldn't commit that much money.
If you like I'll try to find it again?
