Well gang,
After what seemed like forever sourcing parts and figuring out how to build these, they're finally done.
The glasses are JAS townsend Franklin glasses reshaped by hand. The lenses are custom cut and ground from 1/8 plexi (something I never want to do again), the loupes are from harbor freight and modified with some brass tubing (3/32 for those looking to build their own) and the color lenses are from anchoroptics.com. I can't say I'd recommend anchoroptics 100% as they never sent me the red lens in my original order and refused to answer any emails after the first. Unfortunately, finding the lenses elsewhere proved to be fruitless, so I had to place a second order for the red lens.
Anyway, on to the pictures
Enjoy.
