Fun With Old Glasses
    #22309221 - 09/29/15 03:58 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

The lenses are still in good shape, but they're way too heavy and I always
hated the way they left deep marks on the sides of my nose, but I don't want to pay $500.00 for light weight/custom
frames and lenses either (I went for that Americas Best 2 pairs for about $70.00 thing).....



So I got all the tools out (hacksaw, file and pliers)....



....and the material needed (an old stainless steel wire basket found in the alley)....



....and got to work. First I bent a piece of wire to get the spacing right....



Then I cut down the rounded lenses to make them small rectangular lenses
(reducing the weight by about 2/3) and filed grooves along the sides....



Next a quick single mock-up....



....to test the fit....



Then a quick double mock-up....



.....to make sure the spacing between the lenses is correct....



Last is the final bend of a single length of now polished stainless steel wire
(about 1/4 the weight of the original frames)....



....along with many slight adjustments for allignment and proper fit....



And they're done! Perfect for the computer, at home reading and watching television, I even wear them
when I'm out and about. They're so light I can barely feel them on my nose, very comfortable really. Not bad considering it's
the first pair of eyeglass frames I ever made....



Time elapsed, about two and a half hours.... see you later.
