The search for fittings


This is the second time I have trailed up and down looking for fittings so I can join the lenses together. I don't know why this is such an intractable problem. OK today it was Hatton Garden, the jewellery area, and I don't really need silver or gold fitting, but the Bead Shop (where I've been 3 times) only does fittings for beads. Also went to a fishing tackle shop in Stoke Newington which had good long crimps, which will be better than the ones I bought before. I think it simple is going to have to be holes drilled into the glass. I bought six 1.1 mm drill bits today and treated myself to an expensive pair of round-nosed pliers.
