Someone on a forum asked me how I went about putting together the steampunk goggles so I thought I may as well reproduce my response here.
Basically I typed ‘old’ into ebay and bought a load of different bits and pieces that came up!
First off I got some plastic welding goggles

I painted them brass and covered them in material from a leather effect table mat.

Then I got some old binoculars and dismantled them.

These formed the large lens on the left and the lens on the right. I had to file down the screw thread on the interior of the goggles and the metal frame of the binoculars to make them fit.

Add a few bits and pieces like cogwheels from old watches and press studs to look like rivets.
I also got some old medical probes and other bits and bobs like an old pair of glasses


These formed the lens extension thing on the right. The green movable lens thing was made from clock parts, a stand from a miniature action figure machine gun and some bent and shaped brass to form a hinge.

Other details on the left are made from some plate brass cut to shape, some varnished wood, bolts, a weird hinge thing I got with the medical probes and some old clock parts.

If you want to make this sort of stuff it’s worth hunting round and building up a box of interesting junk parts. I can recommend old clocks as having billions of interesting looking mechanical parts.
