When I go into my shop , I put a 2.5 power binocular magnifier on my head. My old eyes need plenty of light and magnification to work properly. My neighbor installs those giant food coolers in grocery stores , and has replaced most of my overhead fluorescent lights , with the light bars he removes from obsolete food coolers. I have to close my eyes to turn them on , as the light intensity , and quantity is shocking to me , when first igniting them. Think they are LED bars. Just wish I had them 30 yrs ago. I still have one articulating arm incandescent lamp over my work bench , and one more above my engraving , and carving area. I solidly position an assembled gun using 3 , 25 lb. bags of shotgun BB's holding the gun in any way I need to carve , or engrave. Beneath the gun , the bench top is avg. thickness house carpeted , which again , with the bags of shot , makes everything very stable.
