steampunk goggles<\/a>, a set on Flickr.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I’ve always liked the steampunk style – so I thought it was time to add some functional goggles with flip-down magnifiers. I’m happy to share a step-by-step how-to, but a lot will be self-explanatory.<\/p>\n

Essentially they are welding goggles. I removed the ventilators and lens holders and sprayed the bright yellow shades black. <\/p>\n

Then I removed the lenses from the holders and sprayed the holders and ventilators with an old-gold paint. <\/p>\n

Finally I bought a couple of cheapo plastic magnifiers that were about the right diameter and replaced the dark welding shades with the magnifiers, after cutting off the handles – these were glued in place and when the paint had dried I reassembled the whole thing, and this is the result. I was quite pleased with the result!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
