If you don't have one already, get one of those head worn magnifiers. I have one that you can flip up and down.
I'm not exactly sure of the magnification ratio, but I think it's like 3X or so. Mine is called an OptiVISOR. Model # DA-5.
It won't make you hands any smaller, but it will help to make things look bigger.
Sounds like his hands look big enough.

In a time long away and far ago, I could tie size #22 dry flies without glasses or tools. Today, I am lucky to tie my shoelaces.

This thing is so tiny and there is a hand spring that fits into a groove on the hammer so shallow that it won't stay in place. I just watched a gunsmith video and he opened with the statement that he could not understand why everybody said the mini revolvers were so much trouble to reassemble cause they were one of the easiest guns to put back together. Well when he got to the tiny hand spring he paused the video. When it started again he said he had to stop and order more springs from NNA cause the third time it went sailing he could not find it. You have springs on both sides of the hammer that you have to keep in place while you fit it all back together and get the side plate screwed back on. These little guns are pretty much worthless anyway but I am going to get this one back together.

You have to be a watchmaker to work on those!
Ricci, if you contact them for repair, and send it to them, it comes back with all new parts, and polished factory new,..for free! So the next time that hand spring launches into oblivion, put all the rest of it in a ziploc, and mail it to them.

Sounds like a "Jesus Spring." Cause the first words outta your mouth are, "Jesus Christ, Where'd it go."

Pffffffft. There's "tiny and complicated" and then there's "tiny and complicated".

I remember it like it was yesterday, my dad and uncle Knute working on a carburetor with me watching, and a warning to "keep your hands in your pockets!" Uncle Knute said "hand me that Jesus clip" and my dad snorted, glanced my way and said "hey!"
It was then and there I realized something naughty was said and it took me a long time to figure it out. Now it's firmly a part of my vocabulary. :-)

My eyes give me more problems than my hands now days. My wife had a lens pop out of her glasses a couple weeks ago. I volunteered to fix them and commenced to lose that dang micro screw in the frames. I had an old pair of specs in a drawer that I planned to cannibalize for the missing screw. NOPE!! Darn things are not universal!! Her frames take a much smaller screw!
She then really surprised me by finding the one I lost on the kitchen floor. I proceeded to lose it again and found myself making an unscheduled trip to Sam's Club. The fix was made and it was FREE. Should have learned a long time ago that avoiding aggravation is priceless!

My dad used to put a dot of superglue on the spring just to hold it in place until he could get it closed back up.

It is all because he bites his nails and can't use them to pick stuff up.

Ain't no way that watch works; it is missing the dilithium crystals needed to run the warp drive Jesus spring.

I think you are mistaken on that model Bruce! It has a flux capacitor mounted just under the gearing. 😎

several years ago I learned my lesson about springs and tiny screws I bought a lot of spare springs and detents for the AR rifles after waiting a week on a replacement once , only to find it in a floor vent a few months later .
I also went to fleabay bought a couple containers for my glasses with enough different size screws ( easy well over a hundred or two ) with a screwdriver and nose pad set different sizes also about 20 sets ? to last four life times to keep my glasses going all for less than about 15 .00 with shipping . I hated to support China but direct from them or thru a supplier it the same thing with out the added cost
I also bought on of the slip on magnifying visors a couple years ago my eyes along with the rest of me had seen better days LOL . I been thinking about getting a magnifying light set up now
as for watch makers there a special group no way could I ever even think about such work not to mention making all the tiny parts and working out the details to get all those tiny parts to function much less in place . the old world craftsman ( and current ones for that matter earn there rewards )

I have several 1950s Rolexes and one of them desperately needed cleaning and a service. So I sent it off to my friend who's a genius at these things. He had it for what seemed like an eternity and eventually it came back home, working like new. A few days later I got an email... "How is it working?" I thought that was odd, so I replied "Fine, how come?"
He replied: "Whew. Good to know. I got it apart and inspected, everything looked good but a few parts needed attention. Then I put all those microscopic parts in my cleaning tray and went downstairs to the laundry room where I keep the ultrasonic cleaner. I tripped."
"All those hundreds of microscopic parts flew out into the air in slow motion, twinkling and glittering, and hit the concrete floor like a gentle metal rain... and they scattered."
"It took me and my wife 2 weeks on our hands and knees to find the last part, and the rest is history."
