being a steampunk fan, and having 'sensitive eyes', i tried to make sunglasses with stuff lying around, which resulted in this.

the consolar spectacles use an anormal method to deflect the sun rays... instead of using tinted glass, like normal sunglasses, the consolar spectacles use a metal part that sticks out, providing a small area of shadow around the eye. it does only deflect light from above, but gives a clear view of the near vicinity, thus providing a better view than normal glasses.

it also holds a magnifying glass on the non-dominant eye, making close examining possible, while still providing a clear view of distant objects.

I did not find a thing like this on instructables, but if there is, i'd like to know.

the consolar spectacles are my frist steampunk creation, so I hope you like it!

and, if anyone requests instructions, they will be made.

and please, evaluate and commentate!

you may want to send this to Jake von slatt, I ma sure that he would like the principle behind it, and seeing as he wears glasses could find a good use for them. (Mine change into sunglasses in the sun, but when I get a new perscription, I may very well have to make myself a pair)
