- Starting with a hunk of butternut wood, I carved a set of handmade frames for a pair of custom reading glasses.
This project is just one of many in a collaboration with other makers as part of the Butternut Challenge. Be sure to watch the others here: tinyurl.com/bu....

The tight grain tells me that’s old-growth butternut, an excellent hardwood closely related to black walnut. Very slow growing, logging and butternut canker wiped-out the the trees from the era that chunk came from, iirc.
I was given an old 1936 upright piano some 20 years ago. In the process of tearing it down and removing veneer (to restore), I found that the entire frame-including the soundboard-was entirely old-growth butternut. Super rare. You’re lucky to have that. And nice job, as usual.
Excellent work, coming from an optometrist here! I continue to be amazed at the level of ingenuity and imagination displayed on UA-cam!
When those lenses both _snapped_ into place, I was literally agape! Congratulations for being the first person ever to give me cause to use that word in a sentence!!!
amazingly meticulous and creative, in use of tools and materials.
and you butternut continue with punz
Bravo Wesley! Those turned out so good!! Love that you burnt in the grain, and that little pop of aluminum is awesome.
You have the hands of a surgeon. Every time I used a dremel, it looks like I was doing so while getting eletroshock therapy.
I know, right?!
Very impressive Wesley! Thanks for sharing
Fabulous glasses!! And I am so going to make a jig like that for my rotary tool! That is genius! And the business card sanding spacer? So good!
Wow.. I'm impressed.. Build that frames are really the challenge.. So tiny and easy to break from a minimal mistake.. They turned out great, kudos!
Great job! I showed my kid, and he said, oh you can make a pair for me. I have some butternut left! Bonus challenge. Love the solution you came up with for the hinges.
I'm totally going to try this for a pair of sunglasses! Not in butternut though I'll use some black walnut from the tree in my yard!
The rotating podium with drill at the end 👍👍
Love the diy turntable
I become a bigger fan with each vid Wesley. Love the subjects, the filming and editing. Gives me something to look forward to watching!
Good looking piece of wood.
Maestro ...gracias por la paciencia y la didáctica para mostrar la diferencia entre los que hacen y los que hablan.... aprendí muchísimo... alegría, armonía,, amor, abundancia, prosperidad, salud...para ud y su familia
What a wonderful piece of art! Congratulation Sir! 🎩
Your expressions are animated already, but the glasses somehow take it to full cartoon!
In a good way!
Looks very good. Well done
Loved these, but I think the lazy suzan at the end was the best. LOL.
Those look awesome and comfortable. I don't wear mine as much as I should, but mine are plastic and uncomfortable to wear as they were warped in my truck during summer.
I learn so many tips and tricks watching your videos. Thank you!
looks amazing apart from the bridge which looks a bit thick but that's personal preference! nice job!
I'd recognize a Shop Smith band saw guard anywhere. Nice job.
That hinge 👌🏾😘
That jig is awesome gonna make one for my foredom. This will help me so much cleaning up my jewelry. Thanks a lot! Nice glasses btw 🤓
Absolutely brilliant.
Impressive work. That's the kind of project I would consider, but would never try. I like it.
Such a fine man and a cool project.
Brilliant !
I am so impressed with how well you cut those lens grooves.
The burn marks do look nice, but don't the ones on the inner surface where the lenses go grab your attention constantly?
My peripheral vision isn't that incredible. 🤓
Wow I want a pair!!!
My first impression was, "He mailed himself a block of wood". Or was it just for you know hilarious content. But, that was pretty awesome.
BTW.... Great craftsmanship love it.
These came out so spectacular!! For reals, I want a pair 🤓 (my prescription is -6.25... in case you need it...)
Awesome awesome job!
So superb to discover you. Always wanted to make my own spectacle frame. Now I have no excuses! Damn!
So many great techniques for all the detail work. It's a super cool idea and you did a fantastic job!
Awesome 👌 Brilliant 👌 Unique
I love your work and mental state :)
Simply awesome, Great job.
They look great!
Pretty cool, I wish I would buy a pair.
Your table saw was making an unfamiliar noise 😱
Haha right?!
Those are the coolest glasses I think I have ever seen 😉
They turned out really well!!
l love this kind of work thanks for sharing
These look sweet! Thanks for sharing!
The end presentation was too cool...
3:30 OMG I could make one of those!
And now I really want to. Just need a footswitch for the Dremel…
You ButterNut! Nice work Wesley.
❤ just brilliant Sir... Love from India ❤
SPEC-tacular result! I can SEE why you were included! You were CLEARLY abled to achieve your VISION. Alternate pun base achievement unlocked, no Butternut puns were harmed in the making of this comment. Everything else aside, you made the tiniest, most adorable spindle sander ever, if that's not reason enough to subscribe, I don't know what is. Cheers!
🛑✋
Awesome!
Perfection at its highest position 👌👍😊
Great video, love your shots. So creative making glasses, they are so expensive nowadays. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Great job!
You also aced your challenge.
Beautiful work.
Those turned out wonderfully! Love your videos
Well done!
Knowing what glasses frames go for these days, you could probably sell them for $800!!!
Very neat.
I like the glasses! Thanks!
Super cool
Great job !
“Oh Fred, your new glasses look so good!”
“Thanks, Wilma!”
Ha! When I saw the debut on Instagram I thought you had totally CNC'd those glasses. Well done for going all old school.

Very clever 😀
Well you certainly made a spectacle out of that, you could see yourself winning lol
😂😂😂 You “Butternut” forget to subscribe. Wesley your killing me. The videos are always a TREAT
...and here I was expecting you to modify the cellulose to make optically transparent butternut lenses!
In any case, really nice work. I always look forward to your videos.
very impressive, wesley
I wasn't sure if I should subscribe, but then you made a glorious pun and I couldn't help myself! Great looking glasses :)
Nice lookin' pair of specs.
I absolutely love these with all of their "flaws." Although I wouldn't call them flaws.
Amazing
Absolutely amazing dude...
Nicely done.
Best page on the net
So you can see through aaaand point at people with them. You just need them to hold hair back and they complete the trilogy of successful spectacles
Really nice!
clever, clever.
Great job for a first go.
I'd love to see a thick frame like that but all made of solid billet aluminium !
Very good...! 👍
you are genius
Hello, Each time is a suprise ! This one is a really fragile challenge..success
