Perhaps this has been covered before but I couldn't find it with a search, or I just didn't search properly, if it's a repeat question, I apologize.
I'd like suggestions on a decent quality visor that's still relatively inexpensive (read as: I have very limited funds). One thing I have to contend with is the fact that I need at least a 10" focus distance, 12-14 inches would be better (physical issues). What magnification power is best? All comments & suggestions welcome and please feel free to inform me of anything I didn't ask about too.
Now for the lighting ... one of my biggest problems is trying to see what I'm doing. I'm out of ideas, seems no matter where I put my lights or what kind I use, I end up with shadows. I attempted a deer today, came out looking like Rudolf.... I put a pick under my other post, if you want a good laugh, check it out here (it looked a whole lot better before I started cutting) http://www.igraver.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1365
Anyway, problem is, I spent about as much time moving my lights work as I did cutting it and still ended up cutting blind at times. After 22 years of welding, I need good lighting. As always, anything you feel like sharing is very much welcome. You have no idea what a benfit it is to someone like me having a place like this where so many professionals are so willing to share their hard learned experience.
Thank You,
Mark
