Problems with Aura Lens

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I ordered a new set of forging glasses from Aura Lens and have not received them. I have emailed and called for several weeks with no reply. Their voice-mail box is full now and can't take any more messages.

I don't know what the problem is, but some research shows that this isn't an isolated problem.

I am going to remove Aura Lens from the sticky lists.

Anyone near Sauk Rapids ,MN want to drop by Aura Lens and check on my order .

Awhile back my aura lens glasses were getting worn out. I did some research and found that while they are great for glass blowers (sodium flare), they don't actually block everything that comes out of the forge. I ended up getting some safety goggles from Fastenal that were much cheaper, and protect my eyes better. So maybe it's ok that you haven't gotten them.

What kind of glasses did you get from Fastenal Phillip? Happen to have the part number?

They speciallize in making glasses for welders and glass blowers. I ordered clips that were an exact fit for my regular glasses that had lenses for use on a forge.The lenses were AUR99.

They do a better job of keeping out flying debris, too.

Funny that I posted this yesterday..... and then heard back from the company this morning. They say the lenses are going out today.
