Just a quick note. I had to leave my computer glasses at the optometrists to get new lenses as i didn't want to pay for new frames too. So I won't be on the computer very much for the next possibly 2 weeks. Trying to read the screen with my bi-focals is a real pain in the neck. My dollar store readers do not correct for astigmatism so I'll just have to lay low for a while. Now you know the rest of the story.

You can ask him/her for loaner frames, my guy does that for me, he just snaps my old lenses into his loaner frames till the new glasses are ready.

I asked if they had some loaner frames and they said nope sorry. I'll check in from time to time, but these bi-focals are driving me buggy trying to read the screen with my head tilted backwards...LOL

MIke, I use variable focus lenses made by Zeiss (greater peripheral vision) but they are also made by Varilux. They are not cheap but allow me to have only one pair of glasses for reading, scrollling, computer work and driving, and they also correct my astigmatism. The only drawback is that in bright sun I need to wear a hat or somehow shade my eyes because they tend to magnify the brightness.

I have a pair from the dollar store. I get a headache after a few minutes of wearing them at the computer but at least I'm not going through withdrawals...."Still Montana Mike"

I used to tilt my head back too with my bifocals. Now I have a particular pair that I wear when I'm at the computer. It basically enlarges everything for me. But when I don't have them around I have to hold my glasses up off my nose so I can read thru the bottom part of my glasses

Oh, poor Mike! I have the same problem with the, literally, pain in the neck! I have to have a separate "computer/reading/scroll saw" pair of glasses.
Years and years ago I had my only pair of contact lenses which were mono-vision -- you really can get used to seeing out of one eye and reading out of the other. I didn't know you could do that with regular lenses, so I'll have to look into that, as changing glasses ALL the time gets to be a real drag.
As for sunlight, there's a company called COCOONS that makes sunglasses that you just slip on over your prescription lenses -- they're regular sunglasses, not clip-ons, and MUCH cheaper than prescription sunglasses. My doctor has convinced me to wear sunglasses outside, so these are real eye-savers!
Mike, I hope you're not going TOO crazy without your glasses - hang in there!

Reply to Help with spray adhesiveby Scruffy DogUpdate: I found that a quick spray across the piece one time has been enough to adhere the pattern to the painters tape. It just takes a little practice. For example, the last piece I did had 4 strips of painters tape. I aimed at each one and did a quick spritz, like you do when using spray paint to...

Reply to NWA Showcase 2023 Resultsby RolfOur Club used to have a Buss trip from Long Island Every year to the show. That was a lot of fun! I always went with a pocket full of cash to buy wood and tools. Sadly we have not done it for many years now. The vendors can't make any money between travel, booth fees, and hotels.
