So there I was one evening working in the shop and started to daydream when I was "visited" by MacGyver.
"Angus" I said, (MacGyver always hated it when I called him by his first name), "you're always using dangerous chemicals and materials like tube socks, duct tape, gelatin bombs and the like, but I never see you wear eye protection! You know how important that is!"
MacGyver replied:
"About.com Guide to Home Repair, you're right but I never knew how to make a pair in the field."
Then it hit me. It could be done!

In this series of tutorials I'm going to show you in detail how to make safety glasses MacGyver style! You know how I'm always nagging you to wear your eye protection. Well now there are no more excuses about how you don't have any handy or the store is closed. This is a pair you can make yourself and amaze your friends. (Well the "amazing" part is a little much, but these are cool nonetheless!)

All you're going to need is duct tape, a hanger, a beer bottle and two plastic furniture caster cups. (You could use tube socks too, but just as a carrying case...)
