    I've been a wood worker (hobbyist) for 50 years! Gavin, at your age your parents must be very proud of you and you have created nice & unique items that are worthy to create...

    @Gavin Lewis: Why didn't I cover up the pink paint? Because the pink makes me smile, simple as. Nobody else sees it when they're on, so I thought what the hell!

    Awesome wooden sunglasses Alex! I really enjoyed watching your method of making them. Nice detailed shaping especially with the bridge and the nose pads. Now we need someone to do a steam bending version. lol Thanks for the mention and link. Oh, nice dancing too! :)

    My 25yr old Oakley texas tea frogskins with gold iridium lenses would look cool with new wooden frames. The original ones snapped and oakley don't make them any more so this is an awesome fix. I'm a professional luthier so the skills and tools are there all ready to go. Thanks for the idea.

    I was just sitting at my local library wallowing in my own sorrow, feeling hopeless about my dream of designing my very own eyewear. I'm a little embarrassed to say the least now after watching you create what you just did. Thanks for the inspiration and motivating me to not let go of my dreams. I've just looked at some of my sketches and I am still clueless on how and where to start but now I will at least start. Thanks and I will email if you don't mind, to get some pointers lol.

    @thewoodworkinghusky3284 3 года назад

    Great Project! The only thing I would have done differently would be to not cut as close to the line from the template on the scroll saw, I would have tried to get close, and sand the rest off. I'm gonna try and do this to get ready for the summer. Thanks for sharing!

  • @kerryg4119

    Awesome Alex.
    After breaking dozens of frames I was looking for a wooden frame but couldn't find one in my city.
    Then thought If I could make one by myself, but don't have much knowledge and tools.
    After watching your video my desire for wooden sunglasses frame has again caught fire. Can
    You make one for me?

    • @thiswoodwork
      @thiswoodwork  10 лет назад

      I can imagine prescription glasses being a lot harder to do, as there are a lot of things to take into account, including centre axis etc. Sorry it didn't work out for you, Alex.

    Great video. Definitely going to give it a try. As an avid (nonprofessional) woodworker I did cringe a bit when you were cutting the groove foe the lense with the Drexel bit. Maybe raise drill press table so it can offer some more stability. Other than that, very enjoyable presentation.
