Here is a two part video on youtube on how to make your very own Steampunk Goggles. It looks pretty simple and easy to make.

These are my Steampunk goggles.
All I did was paint welding goggles I bought online and replaced the strap with a leather one.

I've made a few alterations since this photo was taken, such as remove that gawd awful, cliché gear sitting there and replaced it with a nicely fitting metal piece, removed that simply terrible elastic band and replaced it with a leather strap and I'm currently working on ways to attach magnifiers to it.

Those are amazing
I have always admired your goggles
I actually started work on mine taking a few
ideas from yours to incorporate into them
I actually recently just lengthened one side
so I need to put updated pictures on

Say, Nack? Who's the one who gave you that leather strap? Eh? Any credit for the wolf man who helped you out? Anyways, great work guys! I know I've told Nack this in person already. Anyways, I'm working on repairing my broken goggles. Possibly working on a new pair. I'll reserve the bottom of this post for when/if I ever get this done.

These are my goggles that I made from my broken paintball mask, as you can see they have seen some punishment.

It's nice to see something a little different than usual. Nice job!

These are very nice indeed,

I made mine entirely out of scrap; hence there were no frames, I had to re-make them entirely by myself, I also used fake leather on it to add to the touch

Now I used wires to imitate the spring effect of opening/closing caps,but obviously exact math and science is needed for calculating the radius and diameter for the wire-spring, now it's kinda flimsy, but it still does the trick; it's another immitate lense (to see what is not biggrin ) where I added a red filter paper, and the loveable junk people throw out everyday (that's true! I did walk 5 miles just to look for scraps on the street with my friend smile ) it's a lockable cap too

There's a history to this piece, but i fear this might drag on too long, let me know if you would like to know more about it, I would be delighted to share the story.

Here are a couple more shots:
