Maybe it's my age but these days I like to carry a magnifying glass about with me.
I've had a cheap, traditional one I found in Morrisons for a while but recently, I've been playing around with a new compass and if I need a very precise bearing, the scale is quite fine.
So out comes the magnifying glass and off goes the needle??? Like a dope, I hadn't thought about the metal rim deflecting the compass.
So here is my solution.
Half an hour with an awl and a bit of leather and I've got a pocket glass I like even better than the original.
