BCGs

[Frank's Trailer Works]

I wore them all day, even out the door to lunch. The optics are excellent. Michael kept telling me "those are so cool" The shields fully wrap the sides and the arms are totally adjustable via two screws. The down side is some trend called steampunk. This trend makes them "collectible." Who collects safety glasses? I know everyone needs a hobby, but give me a break, safety glass are a thing to collect?

Where did you find them?

"Steampunk" can be loosely defined as technology ahead of its time with some Victorian England and Wild Wild West thrown in for good measure. The sic-fi of H.G. Wells and Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues could be considered steampunk. It's an i-Pad-powered by steam-set in the 1800s kinda thing.
They love their costume parties....

I now feel protected. My wife does too since no women will be hitting on me wearing these..

You are in good company...that is also the style favored by Justin Bieber (and my son, ha-ha). Maybe they are not BCG's after all?

Yep those are the one's my husband has although his are a clear greyish material that is substantially uglier.

Frank, I too have spent many hours drilling over my head in the aviation industry, and like you I have been to the sawbones to remove metal. Every body has there own way for eye protection that works best for them. Here's mine, I have two different pairs of safety glasses with side shields. I,m getting up in age so both are prescription, one is bifocal and the other is full lens close vision, so when I get in those overhead positions where I cannot tilt my head far enough back with falling over, I use those. I also use a full face shield that I have cut the shield shorter to just be below my nose so it doesn't fog up.

It's the hot steel shaving that go down my collar that really get me dancing.

Oh do I know about those hot metal shavings! I love when I roll onto the axle bolts I have just cut off...

Frank - where did you finally find your safety glasses
