The victim...a broken pair of Oakley Frogskins
(from the late 80's)
The frame had developed minor cracks
and the lenses had got a few scratches
Meet victim #2 a pair of Air Titanium frames
How about fitting the Oakley glass into the Air frame?
Clear/purple tint frames with the Blue Iridium lenses...
A reflection from the lamp from the roof in the glass
This is how the frame is fitted
(its actually plastic prescriptions)
A closeup of the Oakley glass
And a crack in the Oakley frame visible...
After a trip to my local optrician and the Oakley lenses
got the right shape without cracking up
Holes to be drilled were traced with a needle
Holding original lenses on top of course...
A trip to my dads workshop (he is a goldsmith)
Victim to be drilled 1st...
An array of small drillbits... and various tools
Dremel - eat shit, this is from an dentist...
The drillbit to be used...
And finally drilled...lots of pics...
2nd hole...
And done...
Closeup
And a testfit - like a glove...
Iridium at a glance...
Closeup from front...
Lens #2 done and viewed from the front...
cameraflash in reflection despite all fingerprints
You cannot wait, right?
Neither could I
And here they are... finished at a fraction of the cost
Costs...
Reshaping of Oakley lens = 0$
(thx Mr optrician)
Drilling new holes =0$
(thx dad for lending me a few tools)
Wearing Oneoff Oakley's /Air's Titaniums = priceless
