Well I would like to take a minute and Say that I would like to appoligize for the Quality of the video. And this would be my 1st Video that I’ve done. Recorded, Edited, and Re-Edit. I’ve never done this before. I usually just watch everyone elses and found a whole new respect for any and everyone that has or is making a video for posting, But I had to because I wanted to share my YoYo String Making Contraption with everyone. The audio is low so I added subtitles and my moms digital cam is an old junk that eats the batteries up and for some reason did want to save my clips, I ended up having to record it in sections and put together in 1 vid. So I appoligize and hope it serves it’s purpose.
So let’s get started with this Tut. Um I googled and search for the easiest way to make YoYo String and found a cpl tutorials on how. So I took the best parts of their tutorials and made my YoYo String Making Contraption (the only name I could think of)lol. So I took the Measurements from one and tweak em a lil to fit my liking, in which when it’s all said and done it’s the right lengh for me(not much cutting).These are measurements I used here http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s235/biggrob07/yoyostringcontarptionmeasurements.jpg I got most of my info from a Tutorial on the Instructables website by perry112358 on “How to Make YoYo String” (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-To-Make-Yo-Yo-String/) so I hope this Tutorial Helps You Save Money and Make your own YoYo String. Have Fun and Experiment with different Lengths, Try making Types of strings, Use different Types of String (Cotton, Poly, Nylon, Rayon, or what ever you find, lol). And from the way I understand it a Type 6 is wrapped from nail on block to hook on drill 3 times so when folded you get 6 strands giving you a Type 6 (2x3, for slick I think it’s 50/50 Cotton and Poly. which I’m still trying to learn, so if you figure it out PM me, lol), Type 8 is wrapped from nail to hook 4 times so when folded you get 8 strands(2x4) and Type 10, in which you make if you have thin string and some people perfer this type anyway. But anyway, you wrap string from nail to hook 5 times and when fold you get 10 strands, Your Type 10 (2x5).
Ok now for my Tutorial which I was so unprepared for but had to make it anyway. It makes me feel I can Contribute to the YoYo community thats given me so much already. I had to download some video editing software, video codecs, and software for my parents digital cam. So being how I’ve never done any of this video stuff before took me like a week to do it all. From figure out my parents cam to recording the tutorial to downloading software I came up with this. Enough Blabbing and lets watch tis vid. Hope you enjoy, any questions or suggestions hit me up and I help you the best I can and keep the critisisum to yourself pls, just know I Tried The Best I Could with What I Had. Thanks for your Time and giving my Tutorial a chance.
