Thank you for showing! Knowing how delicate these balances are I always find it fascinating how someone can seemingly effortless go ahead and manipulate them... I don’t feel clumsy in any way but I‘d likely crush the whole thing in a second. I might as well need a good pair of glasses

It's pretty straight forward with a set of good tools, and....so far I don't need magnification for this kind of work.
