Poll to ask about Lopaka restarting his 'garage'

[Dbninc]

I started a thread here a couple months back and called it "Lopaka's DIY Garage". Because I did all my work in my garage at home.

Work on Oakleys? Like customizing? Or a thread on building a garage yourself?

I

What is a DIY garage?

I've been customizing my own glasses. Mainly X-metals. And I wanted to chronicle what I've done and how I did things. Maybe I can give inspiration for others to try things on their own, with some tips on how to do certain things. I'm all trial and error. And am always looking for tips and tricks to make hard jobs easier.

Working on mainly Oakley sunglasses. So far I've done mainly polishing and some anodizing. And am still working to perfect both. But I do plan on painting as well, and have already been practicing some (photos coming soon). I'm a total amateur and my work reflects that. But I'm hoping it will also show a progression as I fine tune what I'm doing.

Not “weary of” you, but hey, I’m a masochist...

Mahalo to all that have replied thus far. It looks like a yes. Perhaps I need to unblock some people so maybe I can get some opposing views. But, I'm 'not' a masochist.

This is my garage. I live in a townhouse, and don't have any spare rooms. The garage is pretty much my area because the bulk of my tools, and assorted parts and materials, are in the garage. So it seemed logical to just pull out one or two cars, and set up a table or two. Someday I may show the whole garage. After I clean it up some. Lol.

Nice set up Robert.
PS. Looks clean compared to mine.

Hahaha. There's a reason I haven't pointed the camera towards the inside of the garage.
