To make the arms of the goggles I riveted two pieces of brass together and sanded them to the same shape, then I drew the design I wanted onto the metal.
I used a jewelers saw to cut them apart.
Leaving them riveted together until I sanded the freshly cut areas so that they would stay identical
These pieces will attach to the brass brackets I made earlier.
Next I cut leather to back the arms with.
Unfortunately I cut two pieces for the same side. Oops.
The leather is side-specific because the texture is very different on each side, one is more like suede, but I want to smoother side to be visible and against the skin..
The arms were riveted to the brackets.
Then I traced the eye pattern onto the brass mesh and cut it out with hand shears.
One lens in place.
