I think I'd need a microscope to make that. That's a small part!

Ed, have you any idea how FAT your fingers would look through a microscope?
Seriously speaking I can't fathom working with stuff that small, there was a time but it's long gone.

Yes, I do. We have to solder parts on PC boards at work that are so small they are known in the industry as fly sh_t. Tiny little resistors and capacitors. I tried using a microscope to solder them but it didn't work for me because it destroys my depth of field. I just use my crappy eyes when I solder them but it works for me. That can cause eye strain in a short period of time though.

What I'd like is a pair of those glasses that my real dentist uses. They're like plain glass with little telescope sorta things in each lens.
Apparently they cost just short of a zillion bucks.

Had a little while spare today so I made the Verge thrust pad.
Tooth pick for comparison
This is as minimal as I get.
