This video demonstrates the entire process of hand-making a pair of Worshipful Spectacles.
This pair took around 10 hours.
Designed by Natalie Edwards and handmade in-house by Matthew Lambert, Worshipful Spectacles Bespoke offers a unique customer experience. A series of measurements are taken and an idea of what suits the customer is ascertained by using our extensive template library. Five or more frames are then designed and made into templates, the client chooses a favorite and any required adjustments are noted. They are then made in the traditional manner, all stages being carried out by hand, a process that takes anywhere between 10-15 hours. The customer can choose from a wide selection of our stocked acetate or opt for a custom colour or fade.

I am amazed this can be still done by hand. Amazing.

I like this kind of work

Great to see some craftsmanship! Love hand made frames! Wish all frames were still made like this! This used to be part of the Augenoptiker apprenticeship when I was an apprentice, but we had to do all by hand and not use any electric tools ( excluding the polishing machine)

Thanks. I learnt as an apprentice cabinet maker that you always should be able to do the job by hand so you're covered when the machines break down. A lot more of our process is now mechanized, but I can keep stuff going out the door if the robots give me a hard time

Hi, love the video, can you recommend alternative choice of lens groover apart from Cask tools pls?

@andrewmazurkiewicz105 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Nice video and a lot of work. What kind of plastic do you use for the tortoiseshell frames you make. I've been looking for something similar to use as an inlay material in guitar making.

@worshipfulspectacles1550 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks. It's cellulose acetate. I actulally used to make guitars back when I was cabinet making and wouldn't advise it as an inlay material. It's too soft, would easily pick up dings from nails and strings. Have you tried scratch plate material? Definately harder than acetate.

Hi amazing work! Where did you learn to do this?

@worshipfulspectacles1550 9 ай бұрын

Thank you. Self taught with a little guidance from one of the old hands. I was a cabinet maker back in the day, so a lot of the skills were transferable.

Hello. Very interesting video. How did you insert the hinges into the rim and temples?

@PivotMania Жыл бұрын

He showed the process at 8:00, he welds two pieces of thin acetates with the temple hinge and core using acetone.

Also, We use Prima 82 heated pliars made by GFC to insert the hinge posts.

Hi Matthew! Please can you tell me where to find the transparent acetate sheets. Thanks in beforehand

@worshipfulspectacles1550 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the slow reply, We get ours as 1400 x 600 sheets from www.mazzucchelli1849.it/ in Italy. They do creative boxes that you a piece together but i think there's still a minimum order. www.la-es.com/ are also in Italy. We haven't brought from them but met them at trade fairs and they were really nice. There are plenty of Chinese companies, www.jinyuplastic.com/ is the one off the top of my head. Most suppliers are set up for large orders so it takes a while to build up a diverse stock. For that reason jac-france.fr/ is most probably the best starting point. They sell single 170mm x 70mm blanks and corresponding preshot temples (has the hinge wire inserted). That will mean you can skip laminating them like I do in this video

What tool for the V groove

@worshipfulspectacles1550 9 ай бұрын

Hard to find them. I think back then I was using a cutter by a guy called Cask tools. Not sure if hes still making it. I now use a vintage cutter by Serelo. Most cutters now are for CNC machines and do not have the pattern/bearing follower. You can maybe check a company called Small Batch Tools

@@milkmusik no prob! does the frame just adapt any base curve because of the material you releaved on the back or do you bend it?

@worshipfulspectacles1550 Жыл бұрын

@@ashleygreen3066 I now use a shaped press to curve the frame, back then I would free hand it a bit and let the lenses apply a bit of curve. The acetate is pretty stable so doesn't bend towards the removed stock in the same way wood will. But it still does a touch. It does have a bit of a bias though, I identify that before starting to make sure the natural curve of the blank is going in the direction I want. Laminating acetate has the same effect as veneering wood, you have to balance it otherwise it will pull towards the thicker laminate. Hope this helps

Thank you! I’ve been trying to find a machine to do it but they are all so costly. Do you mind sharing where you found yours?
