Exactly what it says on the tin. ;) The relevant thread on Reddit I was able to find the book that has been the holy grail of my collection for years, the Riven Trap Book!

Hey everyone! It's been a while! (The last time I was here was when I wrote about completing my National Treasure Ocular Device prop build! I still have that! :D) Well, Myst fans, for those of you who have wanted to make a replica of the linking book that leads to the new home of the D'ni, I...

Re: Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter helmet build I see you're just as crazy about accurate details as I am! :lol (I'm working on a jacket and a book for an upcoming convention on Friday, and I've gotten most of the details down on the jacket. I gotta start on the book tomorrow, though...) That...

It took me about 2 days with a hammer and some pliers. I started out by tapping the frames, which I covered with a cloth at first, gently on a piece of wood. (This part WILL take a long time.), then after not getting much progress, I tapped them a little harder. When I got the rough shape down...

Not exactly. The only images I have available at the moment that come close are these: National Treasure Glasses PT by ~T-SquaredPro on deviantART NT Glasses Prototype Part 2 by ~T-SquaredPro on deviantART NT Glasses Prototype Part 3 by ~T-SquaredPro on deviantART

Whew! After a long 4 months of working on these things, I finally finished my own pair of Benjamin Franklin Ocular Device Glasses. :D Believe me, it wasn't easy. I almost scrapped the entire thing cause I drilled part of the frames ever so slightly wrong... But some shaped metal bushings put...

*descending whistle of approval* Very nice! 8D It looks almost like the original!

I DID IT! (Well, sort of...) I messed up a little bit on one of the loupe rod's holes by drilling the hole ever-so-slightly too far from the lens frame's rim, so I had to improvise a solution to straighten out the rod. I took two separation washers from the previous set of loupes that I...

Does anyone know the appropriate bit to use? I read on this topic that 1/16" is one, but I'm not so sure, because I want to be able to secure my loupe rods down without them wiggling.

HUZZAH! I've been able to bend one of the lens frames into the correct shape! (Although, the look I was going for before is pretty much impossible now. I wanted to be able to have a new-looking Ocular Device, but a few scratches from holes in the tape covering the pliers rendered that moot, so...

Did you imitate Sylvester Stallone's Judge Dredd? :D "I AM... THUH LAUWWW!"

You can add another part to the found list, for possibly-perfect springs: Amazon.com: Century Spring Corp C-570 Compression Spring, 1/8" OD (Pack of 5x6): Home Improvement They seem to be the same size as the springs included with any pair of loupes, except for the length. You could probably...

I believe I've found the perfect springs for anyone's Ocular device replica. Amazon.com: Century Spring Corp C-570 Compression Spring, 1/8" OD (Pack of 5x6): Home Improvement They seem to be the same size as the springs included with any pair of loupes, except for the length. You could...

Never mind. I sent back the lenses (They didn't want the defective pair of loupes, but I will get a full refund from them). Not only that, but I didn't like the magnification. I bought the proper magnification afterward.

I got my lenses in the mail today, but one of the loupe supports on one of the pairs (that little two-way rectangular block that holds the loupe and holds itself onto the extension rod) has its extension rod support hole drilled at an angle and partially out the bottom. I'm afraid it might break...
