Thanks, and yes I agree I would be lost without them as well… I do have a 1.5D insert but I had it out, that’s a long story in and unto itself, but in short I tend to were 1.5 reading glasses for everything I do in the shop, so its tuff to flip up the hood or grinding shield and not have the glasses on already… I just started using reading glasses about a year or two ago and still having troubles adjusting to them, using them like bi-focals, and sadly it hurts, still working on that, and is uncomfortable with welding, but I am lost without them. I use them as safety glasses for every thing I do pretty much, grinding, milling etc. etc.. Do have saftey glasses with mag. but I hate them... Anyway, I guess we could start an entire thread just to discuss old eyes and how we adapt in the shop.. Its tuff when you had better than 20/20 all your life then boom, ya hit the late fortys and cant focus (or accommodate) on anything small or small print, without aides..
Oh well, anyway as promised here are the pics from the inspection and just a few of the welders new home…
