== Making lens-covers for binoculars ==
My friend Darin has a video showing how to make 
some lens covers for binoculars, so you can see more
details during an eclipse.  Cameras don't capture 
everything the human eye can see, and this simple project
allows you to customize any pair of binoculars to make
them safe for use during an eclipse. You'll need
a pair of eclipse sunglasses (the cheap paper kind)
A cereal box, some white glue, a ruler and some scissors
for this project.
