The new project series "steampunk eyewear". All the usual: brass, glass, silver solder. The same 80 components combined into a single object.
Traditional photography "step by step"(a lot of pictures) and nothing more.

That's a brilliant work, congratulations! I love it!

Question though : what's the final surface treatment? Chrome plated? Silver plated maybe? Did you do it yourself or had a professional do it?

gogglerman (author) says:

There is no coverage. It's just a polished brass. In fact, the product has a glowing yellow. Photo passes wrong color)

Oct 25, 2011. 2:07 PMdidgitalpunk says:

actually the photos passes the yellowish coplor of brass pretty wel, it is more in the video that you could think there is a suface treatment.

Your work is brilliant, its nice to see people who still have a sense of art and talent now a days. My question is do you make these for fun or custom for people?

Oct 23, 2011. 9:44 PM

gogglerman (author) says:

What I do, I do for fun. It's just a hobby. Thank you.

Oct 24, 2011. 3:16 PMsrogers5 says:

So what do you do with these when your done? Do you display them or actually use them?

Oct 24, 2011. 8:53 PM

gogglerman (author) says:

Selling them all at once, in bulk, when the collection will be quite large ;)

Oct 24, 2011. 11:40 AMaskjerry says:

gogglerman (author) says:

Thank you. Gloves give me some mystery, and have become my signature style :)
Video, where a strange guy in a rubber-gloved hands fiddles with goggles, with nothing to confuse;)

ho and how many languages do you speak in total?????

Oct 24, 2011. 11:02 AM

gogglerman (author) says:

I just use a translator intelligently;)

Oct 25, 2011. 2:05 PMdidgitalpunk says:

hmmmm. that is smart ;)

Oct 24, 2011. 10:49 AMdidgitalpunk says:

i would have thought you wore gloves so that the fingerprints you leave do not corrode the metal, so that yopur creations always look like if they were brand new.
anyway good job (again!) on this project :)

Oct 24, 2011. 11:15 AM

gogglerman (author) says:

Bingo!

Oct 23, 2011. 8:43 AMblanchae says:

I thought it was so you wouldn't leave fingerprints. Very nicely done and all the adjustments are well thought out. cool..

Oct 23, 2011. 10:22 AM

gogglerman (author) says:

You are right. This is one reason.

Oct 24, 2011. 10:01 AMsflemming says:

They look kinda heavy to actually wear. But I'm very impressed with your foundry machine shop work.

Steampunk is always difficult, often uncomfortable, but always beautiful :)

Oct 23, 2011. 9:52 PMartefacter says:

I congratulate you. blog.makezine.com again you noticed.

Oct 23, 2011. 12:24 PMpjotrkuh says:

Very nice job, I like the way you show how you accomplished your work.

I have 1 question though, I see you "hard" soldered the pieces together, could this be done with just tin solder and brass pieces?

Oct 23, 2011. 12:47 PM

gogglerman (author) says:

I used a solid silver solder with high melting points. Soft tin-lead solder here I have not used.
