Steampunk spectacles #2

Steampunk spectacles #2
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.

ok, only one more question: where do you buy colored lenses for your goggles? are they glass or plastic?

gogglerman (author) says: Apr 26, 2012. 11:10 AM

No plastic. The lens cut from colored glass with a special diamond tools. Diamond Glass Hole Saw Kits Set

I love your work. Beautiful. What are the small springs (with the ball bearings) from?

gogglerman (author) says: Apr 20, 2012. 9:20 AM

I think it was part of electrical switches

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: Oct 23, 2011. 9:41 PM

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

didgitalpunk says: Oct 25, 2011. 2:07 PM

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?

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 23, 2011. 9:44 PM

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

srogers5 says: Oct 24, 2011. 3:16 PM

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

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 24, 2011. 8:53 PM

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

Ludwig Von Mech says: Oct 24, 2011. 5:22 PM

AGAIN!another amazing work of yours ,:) i just wonder why do u wear gloves?

askjerry says: Oct 24, 2011. 11:40 AM

Two by two... hands of blue...

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 20, 2011. 10:16 AM

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?????

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 24, 2011. 11:02 AM

I just use a translator intelligently;)

didgitalpunk says: Oct 25, 2011. 2:05 PM

hmmmm. that is smart ;)

didgitalpunk says: Oct 24, 2011. 10:49 AM

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 :)

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 24, 2011. 11:15 AM

Bingo!

blanchae says: Oct 23, 2011. 8:43 AM

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

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 23, 2011. 10:22 AM

You are right. This is one reason.

sflemming says: Oct 24, 2011. 10:01 AM

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

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 24, 2011. 10:59 AM

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

artefacter says: Oct 23, 2011. 9:52 PM

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

pjotrkuh says: Oct 23, 2011. 12:24 PM

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?

gogglerman (author) says: Oct 23, 2011. 12:47 PM

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