I don’t know who it is who is spreading these scurrelous rumours about my fondness for goggles – but I really do hope they continue!  chuckles  Mr Hudson is a photographer, and intends to do a bit of Steampunk portraiture for his own satisfaction at some point in the future, but found that good Steampunk props were somewhat hard to find.  So, he’s making his own!  (Good on you, sir.)  Above, are the goggles that he has managed to make without the use of advanced powertools or the equivalent, and requires merely purchasing a few things from a DIY shop and perhaps a second hand belt.

He’s written up a very well done tutorial on how you might go about making your own goggles – though he does advise not to do as he did, and cut through his protective cardboard and into the dining tabletop.  Unfortunate.  He’s seeking suggestions for replacement lenses, though, so if you have any ideas, feel free to comment here or perhaps contact Mr Hudson himself.  Lovely work, Mr Hudson – it’s going to be a very interesting photograph when you’re done!
