Re: Magnifng Light
I can't get on with mag/lights I find I need both hands to do work, so you have to set lamp up then the tools and if you want to focus on another part you have to set it all up again and not as easy as you think. OK if your just examining something in your hand. I just use the most powerful off the ...

Re: Board design to store under the bed?
I did see somewhere, A person had bought one of those storage lift up beds and built the layout inside. May cost more for bed but you have more room because you don't have to pull out the layout from under bed! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ottoman-Storage-Happy-Phoenix-Modern/dp/B01M35CSPA#ace-g09792493...

Re: What would you do in this area
No Prison No church.
Maybe water tank tower and brick office (run down) and scrub land.

Re: 3d printers and printing
I have one Hictop (prusa) filament printer its good, useful and I learnt a lot... But if I was buying one now would move to the Resin Printer type.
