Lopaka's O-stuff

[Lopaka KaMars]

Aloha. I think I had a collection thread at one time and I must've deleted it like I did my first DIY Garage thread. The things I do outta anger, Oh well. Hahaha. Anyway, some old photos survived from before my "purge". Pictures only shows glasses, though I did sell off other things like watches. Just like now, I didn't have much then. Here's photo's from a few years back. My cases are still in the exact position as in these photos. Just most things in these photos that wasn't a Mars were sold. And I even sold a couple of Mars and Craters. Till I started getting sellers remorse from doing that. I'll get everyone caught up with what I have now. But for now, here's photos from the past of (what used to be) my stuff (not worthy of the title 'collection'). 🤙

Mahalo for the kind words. Most of what you see did not survive my purge. When I was dumping all things Oakleys. When I hated the Forum and I didn't like Oakley either. But I reached a point when I got to my most precious pairs, and I realized I loved what I had, and didn't want to sell anymore. Then I started regretting some things that were sold. I think I love what I have now more, because of that stupidity. Hahaha.

This was from a period where I was just learning to work on X-metals and was just working on my Mars.

My polishing efforts were getting better, but things were still rough at this point.

By the time I got my anodizing started, I had sold most of what I had. The last photo in this group, I can see the level under my Mars, and there's only a couple of Scars. I also had about half dozen work Valves 1.0. But most of my case was empty at this point.

This was the beginning of the come-back. My Mars and Valves mostly. One of each X-metal. And a few O-matter pieces. Then picked up some cheap wires, and I was back in the game after that.

I don't have overall photos of any of my cases for a long time. Wasn't interested in keeping track of my stuff at this time. Just some photos here and there of things when they were first bought.

This group of photos shows things are changing.
