    Default Hardly jewellery quality

    And we don't have a forum for spectacle repair so I thought it ought to go here.
    The wing of my specs broke, alleged to be titanium.20210207_193605.jpg
    Turned a bit of brass rod down and managed to drill a hole.
    Bit of superglue and she'll do.

    Default Titanium specs

    My brother Darrell made his own glasses out of Titanium...

    I was sold a pricey pair of partially-titanium spectacle frames, only to have it break where it was plastic.

    Some have made their own spec frames with MIG welding wire.

    I bought these from China for about $30, so I'm not very unhappy. Compared to 250+ from optician.
    I try to get rimless, no screws.
