With the relative success of my first attempt at producing a pair of completely carbon fiber sunglasses, I am starting work on my next pair. I learned a variety of things in producing the Carbon Juliet and have a number of things to try on this new pair that should give even better results. I’m naming this new pair the Deviate, as it seems Oakleyesque and also indicates that I’m taking off on a slight tangent.
I’ve also studied the video that Oakley produced about their new C Six carbon sunglasses and gleaned a few tips from that as well. This blog will be be my step-by-step explanation of my latest attempt and I hope that it might inspire a few adventurous folks to get out there and try their own project.
I’m going to take more pictures and make them bigger and higher quality (using a real camera instead of my iPhone) so I hope it’s clearer how things work. You can click any photo for a bigger version.

I got a Linksys WVC54GCA camera recently to keep an eye on our baby while she is being watched at home. Most of the folks out there are on PC’s, but we have a Mac OS X network at home with a Linksys wireless router, so I thought it would be helpful to have a little set up information for folks with similar equipment. While you can probably complete these steps in slightly different orders, this might be the simplest way to get it up and running.
