Electromechanical Sunglasses V

After an annoying number of attempts, I finally got a good set of mounting holes drilled and tapped for the sunglass gears. I'm now about 40% through cutting the frames out using a #2 jeweler's saw blade. (Hard to make out on this crappy pic.) It's slow going, but I'm enjoying the process. The delicacy and precision really appeal to me. I'm pretty happy to be gaining the skill. Unfortunately the supply store didn't have >3" saw frames in stock, so I'm forced to keep coming in from different angles.



I won't have time to work on it any tonight, but I should get this done sometime this weekend. Remaining to be done: Drill and tap holes for the lens gear restraint clips (which after this much effort put into a single piece, will be nervewracking work), ear piece attachment, servo mounting and driveshaft issues. The last bit there I have yet to figure out in any detail...
