Re: [Harp-L] Light box for reed work

I recommend going a step further: buy a stereo zoom microscope with over and
under-lighting:

Here is a cheaper one without zoom but interchangeable lenses instead:

You'll be amazed what you see under these things! Reeds look like shovels.
They are fantastic for detailed embossing and other reed work. 

 

Joe Spiers is a microscope embosser, need one say more?
