I want to make a pair of eyeglass frames.
Has anyone done this? Any thoughts/advice?
i'm thinking of making them out of hardwood.

don't use a beltsander on them while they are on your face.

what kind of wood (heeheheeh) are you using? Something soft like balsam?
have an optometrist check them when you have the frames far enough along. When fitting you for glasses, they usually have to keep the distance from your eye to the lenses at a specific length.
