    That is what has steered me clear of straights. The outlay of $$$ for everything required to do it right hasn't helped either. So I figure I kinda do have a straight already: the Rolls, the straight on a stick.

    I see that there are some free apps on Google to turn my phone into a magnifier/microscope and take pictures. Anyone tried those? I'll have to give those a try.

    I've tried some with very poor results. I finally broke down and got a $4 36-60x loupe. Much better.

    I just tried it and I think I'll go your route also. I'm keeping the app in my phone though; it could be useful for something else sometime.

    Very coo, I'm looking them up on eBay right now I'm shocked at how cheap they are

    The next step would be a fixture to secure the tool. If that fixture lets you adjust the height, you are all set.
