Optivisors and bifocals became my best friends in modeling. Now at 67 I can’t get enough light! I also recall many years ago going to the hobby shop asking for “a” #80 drill bit. Clerk laughed out loud and said something like you need to buy #80’s by the dozen, ha! Think I bought three and left with him still laughing. Since then, I buy small bits by the dozen....and nothing smaller than a #78. Smaller than that and they break just putting them in the pin vise! I too use the Micro-Mark drill holder in an electric screwdriver and highly recommend it. Nice video.
