Wood working. But what I really enjoy is cigar smoking. Or to keep it with the tread theme I should have said i like to burn things , You know I'm joking, right?
What did you use for painting inside the groove. I just started doing some carving and am having really hard time with painting.
Don't recall. Probably india ink, which bleeds out into the grain. You let it dry and then sand or scrape the piece, which removes some of ink outside the cuts.
Woodworking + cigar smoking = pyrography
Hey, Chief. Have you thought about getting a magnifier with a light? I did a quick search and there are desktop versions as well as floor models, like this. It might be helpful.I'll get some pictures later to show off this skill. Have you any idea how challenging it is to tie a trico, or blue winged olive on a size 20 hook (tiny hook) when your eyes can't hardly see the hook eye? And a scud on a 22 hook (even smaller. When my eyes were still good, the smallest hooks I tied on were 28's. And yes, these tiny flies can catch big browns, rainbows, bass, etc. The largest streamers I've tie are in size 2 hooks (about an inch and a half long, and very sturdy).
Ha, my doctor and I were both trying to read the tiny dosage print on a med sample the other day! [emoji16] I wonder if they have portable versions.My SIL has one of those and uses it when doing counted cross stitch or working on a quilt. She finds it very helpful. It's even good for reading tiny tiny print on warning labels!

You're right! I've actually done that with my smartphone. When I need service on an appliance, the service company needs the model number. I've taken pictures of those, since they're usually very small *and* in an awkward place.There are small magnifiers with a built in light. I have one.
But, there is a workaround if you forgot your small magnifier. Take a picture with your phone and then zoom in on the picture. I haven't had the need to do that yet, but I'm keeping it in mind.
