Pics of the 2nd +Red Juliet lens I just cut tonight



I love the colors in these, rich dark reds and purple to dark blue at certain angles. I got real lucky finding this lens!!


and I don't have 2 different color/types of lenses in pic below it's the same lenses just took pic from different angle.




Have another +Red coming in Wed. and a couple more already taped so I'll be busy for a little while at least.

Sorry haven't been on in a few days been busy, busy, busy!! I did look through Josh's article and it was a big help. I had the idea of using my dremel awhile before Josh's article but never attempted it cause I wasn't sure it would work but it works well. I will post pics of the 2 lenses I cut already 1 +Red and 1 Blue Iridium both for Juliet and both came out pretty damn good if I say so myself but you can see them for yourself this weekend. I got lucky and got a real red + red lens but was dissapointed in the other + Red lens and the blue iridium lens they're pretty much see through and not the mirror type effect you used to get in Oakley lenses, has anyone else noticed this also? I bought 2 pairs of Ruby lenses for my juliets and they were the saddest looking ruby lenses I've ever got from Oakley so I don't know whats going on with that?!?! Anyway I'll get the pics up Friday sometime>>>>>> Later

Thanks for the warm welcome from everyone. I still haven't cut up the +red lenses yet and it's Saturday night so I'm thinking tomorrow night will be the night to do it. I'll post some pics of them when I'm done, if I don't mess them up horribly?!?!? Going to take it slow............

Oh, I almost forgot:

Dann,
Thanks for the great site and getting my account up and running!!!! Already got useful info on how to cut a M-Frame +Red Iridium lens, I'll be cutting it this weekend but haven't decided which glasses I'll be cutting them for yet Juliet or Penny, I may have to flip a coin. Or I could cut it to fit in my cream colored fat cats, that could look pretty interesting?!?!?

I'm a newbie and just wanted to say hey and look forward to checking out all the cool places on this site. My name is Ed I'm 37 years old and bought my first pair of Oakley's Frogskins Brown/Fire Iridium lenses in 86 and that started it all. Will get some pics up in time. My collection isn't very big at the moment but plan on adding a pair or two a month. Just collecting the X-Metal line in glasses though but I'm sure that will change. Well it's 2:30 am here so it's time to crash!
