Description
New research in Aetheric Energy from the Tek University has produced this latest prototype. The AetherioTemporal Goggles or AT-Goggles, allow the wearer to see forward in time for several seconds. (Nominal 7-15s). By tapping into the dimensional energies of the aetheric energy left in the atmosphere by the comet fall, these goggles can help a trained observer to see probabilities in dangerous situations and choose which option to take. It is important to note that without the proper mental acuity training these goggles have been known to cause people to black out.________________________________________
I think these are my favorite goggles I've made to date. Made with standard welding goggles, orange juice bottle caps and cheap mall jewelry store pendants. Metallic finishes achieved with Rub-n-Buff.

These would go great with my Trans-Temporal Sonic Screwdriver!
(Also, they look great)

Thanks. I see several sonic screwdrivers on you page, which one is the trans-temporal? (of course all sonic screwdrivers are trans-temporal)

Well, I didn't think that through properly...
One of them has most of the casing from that screwdriver, while one has the power source, which I guess means that it is all of them
(And there's a special scenario behind it, where the TARDIS is trapped in a time fracture between four different parts of time, and specially makes a new screwdriver, which even has a wood setting!)

A Wood setting? Poppycock!

It says so right here:Ā www.bbcshop.com/sp-childrens/dā¦
And it's about time it got a wood setting, that's been getting in the way for years!

Hah.... I've never seen that particular product before. I may have to buy one.

It's been good to me so far, definitely recommend it
If you know the other Build-your-own sonic screwdriver set, it's just like that but with a different sound set

I have to agree that these are really well done. If you don't mind my asking, how are the lids attached to the goggles? Were they just glued or did you use something else to secure them in place?

They are glued using E6000 glue. On the side with the recessed lens cover, the cap and original lens cover were roughed with heavy sandpaper to give the glue more to hold onto. For the other side, with the cap that's reversed, I had to trim the points around the edge of the cap so that it fit perfectly against the inside edge of the original lens cover, so that side has a more structurally sound attachment.

Thanks for the info. I have been using Goop to glue things down but have never tried E6000. I was curious about how these were attached because I have used a lot of screws and bolts to hold things together to try to make sure nothing snapped off the ones I've made.

In the past when I would use PVC pipe fittings for my "enhanced" goggle lens covers, I would sometimes use screw to hold things together, but those PVC fittings had more to hold onto, these particular pieces don't have enough for a screw to hold onto, and they are light enough that glue does ok. (when using the right glue). E6000 is basically ONE part epoxy. It has the same consistency out of the tube as already mixed 2 part epoxy, and starts to set almost immediately after it comes out of the tube. So it takes some getting used to. You often have to content with what I call "glue strings", where the glue had already started to set so when you pull away from the place you put the glue, a long fine filament of glue stretches away from it.

Faved for the commentary as much as the prettiness (and wow they really do look awesome 8'D).

Thanks. Yeah I always try to come up with some kind of story behind all my Steampunk projects, that way my customers can have something to say when asked about them.
