30mm? Luxury! I used to have a toilet roll with a magnifying

had to imagine what the objects looked like!


Wow... I'm surprised you had the time to build it, what with that
50-mile walk to school and back (uphill both ways, of course)
followed by the 10-hour shift down the mine. g

I had several toilet/kitchen/foil roll scopes too, but most of them
were zero magnification instruments, used predominantly for playing
pirates and such.
