Today I was picking up a few things from my local Ace Hardware and walked past their $1 bin. They had 4" magnifying glass and it sparked an idea. I picked up one and a 4" pvc coupling.
Got home, snapped the handle off the magnifying glass and fit it perfectly in the 4" coupling. A little silicone to seal it up and an 1/8" hole for air to escape the underside. That's it! Total cost 2.99 plus tax. Floats on the surface and does an AMAZING job. The magnification is awsome. It even does a pretty awesome job magnifying through the front glass. Pics to come.
