Thank you for your comment! I bought nose pad japan factory and glue "Acetone70% , Methanol 20%, Methyl acetate10%" using a mixture of three solutions. Thanks
@@EyewearCraftsmanJapan i dont know if you would believe me but its my dream jop iam ready to spend thr rest of my life doing this eager to learn it im trying to do it its abit difficult right now but its in my blood i know it god pless you man
how do you even get started in a business like this , i've been an optisian for the past 6 years but i am interested in making glasses , beautiful video
Thank you for your comment. When I first started making handmade glasses in earnest, I apprenticed under a master and trained for one week, then received homework for the rest of the month. After that, I trained for 10 months, living in for one week and doing homework for one month.After that, my master retired, so I was introduced to his brother disciples, and I continued to train and manufacture glasses. It took about 5 years to get things going smoothly, but now we manufacture everything in-house except for the plastic plates, hinges, screws, and metal parts.
Great work!! I was scouring the internet for that same tool!!! It looks adjustable in the video for frame thickness. Do you happen to know the specific name of the maker of said tool? Thanks. Great video!!!!
Thank you for your comment. First of all, you need to understand the entire process of making glasses and be able to use files and buffs well. I think it will take a few years before you can use each tool one by one, but if you learn them while making them, you will gradually be able to make beautiful glasses.I think you can learn just the process of making glasses in two weeks, but I tell my students that it takes at least five years to become a full-fledged craftsman.
@@EyewearCraftsmanJapan if you started a brand here in Egypt it will be so successful..we can collaborate in that ..the Japanese work has alot of respect here
Thanks for your comment. When polishing, I use wet mud for large scratches. The name is Boshu powder. The finishing compound used is the finest mirror finish sold in Japan.
Do you know how some manufacturers place a (metal?) core wire inside the legs of the frames to add further support? I've searched to no avail. I suppose this is something very hard to do manually.
I know next to nothing about making frames but I suppose they sandwich sheets of acetate around the metal core and it's all bonded together with acetone, heat and pressure.
If its cheap frame made by injection plastic the process is simple. place metal part into the tool/mould, press green button and molten plastic will fill the cavity of the tool/mold.
Am I correct in my understanding that a metal core is placed inside the temple? I split the plastic plates of the glasses and put the metal inside, then applied a solvent and glued it together using an electric hot press.
Thank you for your comment. The material of the glasses made in the video is celluloid, and even if there is no core inside the temples, there is no problem because the material is strong. It is said to be a material similar to buffalo horn.
Thank you for your reply. Is it celluloid or cellulose acetate? Because looking at the video it looks as malleable as acetate, but maybe even celluloid is so malleable?
This is made of celluloid. If you use acetate, you will need to insert a core wire because it is a soft fabric, but if you use celluloid material, there will be no problem.Celluloid is also a flexible material that is easy to process and adjust.
I use a variety of solvents, but the one I mainly use is called Funere. I use a solvent called Funer. A mixed solvent of methyl acetate, acetone, and methanol.If each solvent is available, methyl acetate should be 20-30%, acetone 70-80%, and methanol 5-10%.
Thanks for your comment. I started cutting by hand using an NC machine about three years ago. The manufacturing method introduced in the video is a traditional manufacturing method that has been passed down since ancient times.
Thanks for your comment. Currently, we only have teaching materials in Japanese, and we are not yet ready to provide them in English or other original languages.
