I finished some new ones recently:
My earliest goggles were made from PVC plumbing fittings. There are advantages; they're light, and the material is easy to work with. But I wanted some 'proper' ones and, having acquired a box of large brass curtain rings and observing what two of them together looked like, I embarked on the above.
It turns out the rings aren't brass, they just look like it. In fact they're a really hard metal that (mostly) defeated my attempts to drill small holes in it. I handed it over to a gentleman at work who owns a drill press; it nearly defeated him too, but we eventually ended up with two rings with the required holes. The side pieces I cut out of an old lamp fitting. The lenses are from 'mad scientist' glasses one can obtain from one's local emporium of cheap rubbishy toys. The cover for the more interesting eyepiece (I like asymmetry in my goggles) you'll probably recognise as another lamp part, and the 'bulb' is part of a cheap LED torch, which I find diffuses the colour-changing LED built into the left lens in a most satisfactory fashion. I'm not convinced about the clock part in the middle. It looks like it should at least move but it doesn't. Ah well - these things are never really 'finished', are they?
Now of course Wifey wants a pair too ...
