Lopaka's DIY Garage (2.0)

[Lopaka KaMars]

So I came home a little early from work today, so I got busy in the garage with a quick hit Valve 1.0 lens cut. This is a polarized Violet Iridium cut from a Crankshaft lens. I managed to save most of the etching, but this didn't come out as good as my first try. I think because I was rushing a little. And probably also.because of the wrong base curve thing. I give myself a C+. Always wanted a good purple lens for my Valve but could never find anything. Saw the Crankshaft lens for sale and bought it intending to cut it for any frame it could fit in.

So I got home a little early and decided I wanted to fix that green paint on my Valve 1.0. So I stripped it down and repainted it. Then did my purple pair.

One out of three pairs had a clear frame under the metal/aluminum coating, Was going to paint it, but will probably keep as is.

So this happened today. A little upgrade to my DWP Valve 1.0.

I learned that I turned work pairs into glasses that I'm reluctant to take to work. I need new beaters please.

Lol

Can't set up my tables in the garage like normal. Have to take over my kids desk. Lol. Looks like I won't be doing any heavy customizing for a little while because of my injury, so decided on just a lens swap for one of the pairs I got from @Oakman1992. Took off all rubbers and gave it a wipe down of Mothers polish to try brighten it up a little more. Put in a 9/10 Linegear Cardinal Red I believe, and put on good condition Linegear rubbers. Ready to wear for a little while. Till I can get back on my (two) feet.

Mahalo to you Bro. My projects were kinda backed up as it was. Now with my foot the way it is, It may be at least a couple of months before things even get close to normal. So might as well put this into the wear rotation. I still have multiple pairs in pieces still. So no reason to take anything apart, for now.
