Why not get the plastic ones and spray paint bronze? Lightweight? check!

If you only get steel you could always rub n buff them?

Ahh, thank Amy that's very kind :)

Thanks for watching, glad it was useful :)

Thanks very much Tatyana, glad it was helpful :)

Hey thanks! I'll try ;)

Thank you!

Thanks! Yep steampunk is a great genre.

Thanks very much :)

Thanks! Glad it was useful.

Thanks! :)

Yeah that's a good bet - steampunk definitely comes from cyberpunk. I reckon you're right.

Although you do have to buy things like leather and packets of buckles etc in larger amounts than you need, so the initial outlay would be more, the unit cost per set of goggles is cheaper than $30 I'd say. To be honest though most of the online ones are fairly crappy quality. I've found most steampunks want to spend more than that and get something that's better quality.

The Dark Power well might as well spend the extra money, I'm already planning on spending over a $1000 usd on my steampunk cosplay.

Yeah exactly - if you want decent quality you gotta spend the money. Thing is, in the UK (or at least the events I go to), steampunk isn't cosplay - everyone makes their own clothes and gadgets tend to be made out of genuine materials, so there's a degree of authenticity to it. I rarely see stuff made out of foam or worbla (although there's some here and there), if you see what I mean. It's all real fabric, real leather, real metal etc.

The Dark Power I was planning on going realistic as possible with real leather real metal. It's just that comic Con is the only event I know of in my area.

Thanks very much! Thanks for watching ;)

No problem

Thanks. I've usually got them from eBay but they're available here too. I use 50mm/2 inch ones www.discount-electrical.co.uk/product.php/388623712/brass-female---ring---bush-2-inch/b211fd0accc2be680f95274dcb274128

Thanks!

Hey thanks, yeah steampunk's very versatile so you can do alot with it.

hell yeah, you are so professional

Thanks, very kind :)

one of the reasons Tinker doesnt wear goggles, I dont have the patiennce to make them. I have tried a few times and just given up[

Yeah alot of people mod welding goggles or things like that.

Oh is it, interesting. I thought it was some form of oxidation or something. It's a pain to clean off.

@@thedarkpower yes it is. You can use light sand paper to rough up areas to be sweated. They will bond better and you can use flux precisely

Thanks - I'm using 50 mm brass bushes and 1.6-2.0 mm veg tan leather.

Thanks, I have had a look on ebay, none on there atm. Like you say they have probably all been bought up. Will keep looking.

You could try hardware websites too - these guys do them www.discount-electrical.co.uk/product.php/388623712/brass-female---ring---bush-2-inch/b211fd0accc2be680f95274dcb2741280/

Thanks very much! 🎩

🤣🤣

@@thedarkpower LOL ur a Monaco XD

Haha, ba-doom tish ;)

No i don't - I made some templates in card beforehand to make sure everything fit though, so that's worth a go.

I'd say £120 + postage.

Hiya. This is the only one I could see and that's ebay UK (also the listing doesn't say how many there are - £7 for one is mad!) www.ebay.co.uk/itm/50MM-FEMALE-BRASS-BUSHES/253390387381 You can usually get them from hardware stores though, for example here (although again that's UK I'm afraid) www.discount-electrical.co.uk/product.php/388623712/brass-female---ring---bush-2-inch/b211fd0accc2be680f95274dcb274128 So I'd say check some hardware stores - I think US stores tend to have a greater range of stuff in them than in the UK. I'm not sure if they're called something different in the US too?

@@thedarkpower , thank you!

Yep I'm not a professional leather worker, which I make clear in the video. If you want pro advice, go elsewhere.

Seriously, dude? A thumbs down because he didn't use traditional leather crafting tools? They still turned out great! In fact, I gave him a thumbs up because he got such fantastic results using tools most people have in their home.

Steve Draper if he wasn't in a different country I would pay 40 usd

Thanks Steve, yeah they're a little involved but not too bad ;)

Edward Ubeda lol he did

Yeah I've done a few of those ;) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hMlynblknrq9Y5s.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p9SWjKei2byvgnU.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/irebpJR1lsfFZ6M.html

The Dark Power however I would love to see you make a mask that only covers the bottom half of your face,

Maybe I'll get around to that one day - having your entire face covered all day is quite difficult to deal with.

The Dark Power I'm actually starting to design mine, thinking of doing some sort of mechanical jaw
