I came across this giant magnifying glass at my local antique shop. Its surface was so shiny that I just had to buy it. The price was decent, around $20. Well I guess that it ended up being a total waste of money because I never ended up really using it. Its too big to be practical. Maybe I should give it to my grandma because as you can see from the video it blows up the image/object a lot, or maybe I should make another video showing how it can be used to start a fire! Ill take the second choose.

Here are some pictures that I took of the glass.




Here are a couple of images on how I made this video. These pictures show a stand that I made for the camera so that it would be hanging while looking down. I love hangers because you can pretty much make anything out of them.
