Real brass goggles

I would say that these photos are more than enough for someone who has skill to accomplish what they are intended to show, You however are seeking the spoon feeding of the cannibals and looters of our society. If you want someone to do all the thinking for you, by all means proceed to the end of our current civilization. Would I duplicate these to even prove it can be done? no I have my own goggles, which I do not wish to have copied so I am avoiding any publications here.

I'm happy for you, but not everyone is as artistic as you and the author. a simple explanation of materials used, how did you do this or how did you do that would have been nice. I don't think anyone wants to copy but having some insight as to how things are done is a great help. Now head on out to the end of your civilization sorry I won't be there to see you go

one simple thing you remind me of. "if you beg for a bone, don't complain if it doesn't taste good."

yup as I figured you are here for freebies and give nothing back to the community, considering you have no useful content. and before you start screaming about me not giving content realize I did not complain about the content, only the fact that people like you come along and make people like gogglerman wish he had not contributed. thus cutting down on content by all your complaints. I say head on out.

I agree with pintoc2, You should show how you built these, not just show them off, If you do want to show them off, please leave this website, and find somewhere else. It seems like you rub it in everybody's face "haha I can build cool goggles, nobody else can", or these are YOUR ideas, and nobody else can use them by all means. Good Golly.

best to avoid commenting back on anything they post, looking at pintoc2's track record all he does is complain and complain. or out right make negative comments, which looks an awful lot like a troll. Just keep doing what you are doing,. Awesome work. Hit me up over on BG forums :)

I'm just saying show how you make these for everybody to see, it's a nice gesture. .

at least mine shows how to do something step by step, and not a bunch of random pictures.

I believe that "a picture is worth a thousand words" and in this case the pictures lay out exactly what needs to be done. All you need do is look and garner from your experience the steps necessary to attain the final product. Hopefully with your own twist as Steampunk has always been about individual expression. Good job Gogglerman these are simply wonderful and wonderfully simple.

I'm just saying, it's not that big of a deal to just make a step by step Instructable to show how you made these.

The whole point of the "Photos" type of instructable is to submit pictures of a project to inspire others to create things themselves. If you need more information about how to do it then ask the person who posted the instructable. After looking through quite a few of his instructables it's readily apparent that Gogglerman is willing to answer questions and help people out.

If you don't want to ask, there are other instructables that show similar work (though not always as well done) that give step by step instructions. It would be easy enough to combine the knowledge gained from one instructable and the inspiration from this one to come up with something of your own. Also, generally if you pay attention to each picture, they do a pretty good job of spelling out how to do each step.

I love those!! They have that true "steampunk i formed the metal myself with a hammer" imperfection which is what i love to see in this area... It doesn't have that Mass manufactured perfection to it and to me that's what steampunk is about

Although it bears mention that the Victorian Era was the time of the Industrial Age, and most certainly heralded the rise of mass production. Steampunk, for all that it is indeed fantasy, does yet have an undeniable connection with history.

That is very true but from what i've seen and understood about steampunk, There's a certain inventiveness about the genre that I love to see. I'm not saying gogglerman's goggles aren't amazing (quite the contrary actually, He's a master at metal forming like none i've ever seen before) I just have a special appreciation for imperfections in a design in which you can see the hard work done to it. Much like a hand forged suit of armor so to say(I can't find a better way to describe it i guess lol)

I agree with GaryCifers completely.

Thanks, but those threads need cutting haha.

those are cool. :)

Yes, he soldered the brass.
As someone not unfamiliar with such things myself, I suggest using "easy" or "extra easy" silver solder. The "easy" and "extra easy" designations indicate the melting temps. With extra easy, you should be able to do the job with a simple propane torch in a few minutes. But be careful to get your join edges very neat and clean and smooth.

alright cool, thanks

And I do NOT recommend using a tin-lead solder, kittknight, if you do this. Aside from the lead fumes that are released when you heat it, a little lead will rub into your skin if you handle it a lot. (mainly the fumes. Not good AT ALL.)

or at least materials because the picture pretty much tell you how to do it

they are cool, though i mite worry about safety while wearing them in the event of a crash

wouldn't the brass either hurt your face or crumple if you fell hard?

oh, well they're still cool anyway.
