    Greetings, Well other than being about the thickness of Coke bottles
    & having a sever astigmatism they are about the same as mine.  She
    has complained that the items are a blur with or without the glasses
    when using the Optivisor (I use mine for everything at the shop). 
    She is having a problem though & I want to keep her (dependable
    trustworthy people who want to learn, not being an asset that I like
    to give up on), but if she can't see she is not going to be able to
    work a shift by herself.  The Optiviser fits over her glasses, I have
    #5, #7 & #10 plates & can order a couple of more from DRS next week
    to try that possibility. 

    We are a jewelry & watch repair kiosk in a mall, that has lots of
    high end watches come in.  This really requires using a Optivisor or
    equivalent to work effectively (ever try to see the battery hold down
    screw on a ladies Longines?-SMALL).  I will see if the clip on set
    will work, but I am pulling my hair out over the problem. 

    Yes, this is Olaf's Mundane World persona & it is Phlip from the SCA
    EK Metalsmith's list we are talking about.  I have 3 trainees who are
    all SCAdian (one of my apprentices is a Laurel in Blacksmithing),
    guess which two weeks in August we all want for vacation? <;^} 

    We are looking to expand the locations up here in New England I am
    having to train more people, so far all I have found have been
    friends who are blacksmiths.  I have a choice:  I can either find
    enough people to work 3-5 stores & be the relief/district
    manager/fill in when no one else can person; sell the one location we
    have up here & be unemployed while attending school; or close the
    store when the lease runs out in 19 months, which is when I am
    starting back to school at the Worcester Center for Crafts School for
    Professional Crafts (Metals) again.   I went one semester before my
    previous co worker quit & I had to take a leave of absence from the
    school.  So if any of you know people who are looking for work in
    Eastern MA or NH, send them my way. 

Pax,
