steampunk prop

The goggles were made utilizing an old bakelite goggles set.
The center chain was removed and portions of the old goggles were sprayed with a light lacquer and dusted with brass powdered pigments. brass shelf angles were attached with epoxy to each lens.

The "eyebrow piece" was constructed of brass light pulls and aluminum rod attached with industrial epoxy. The piece was drilled and then attached to the lens via a screw post allowing the lens to pivot so they can be adjusted to individual faces or hats.

I stretched green acetate over the lens and tightened the acetate flat with a hair dryer set on low. aluminum spacers were then attached over the goggles for the final effect.

you might buy one off e-bay, thrift stores (rarely), estate sales (occasionally), hat shops (these days mostly online).
