2A Tuesdays ( a Looping Thread)

It would be great to have a way to print axles! I really wish the material would work. I spent some time looking for a comparable part online and spent $14 on Amazon picking up dowel screws (this experiment didn’t work). I also thought about working with a machine shop but have a feeling that would be even more expensive. The only places I have found axles are in Japan and in the UK.

If you had the specs, it seems that cutting a piece of rod to the right length and properly threading it would be an easy job for a local machine shop. Maybe even a good project for a local vocational school machine shop if there is one near you.

The local college is a good idea. I might visit with the instructors.

A few more 2A Tuesday throws from 2003 (along with a few newer Yomega Fireballs in the back).

How would you rate the new ones compared to the old ones?

I haven’t tried these. Len, who created the Fireball sent me a few older models recently. I think these may end up being part of my collection. He mentioned he was sending a few hard to find Yomega yo-yos. I have always thrown and competed with Jack Russell yo-yos so I am not sure how the old ones compare.

Happy 2A Tuesday! Just curious, anyone ever throw a Came-Yo Mondial (which Duncan ended up buying out)?

I might be showing my age but I always wanted one and got a friend who has one NIB for sale.

I grabbed it up quick.

Have fun with the Came-Yo. I only have thrown the Duncan version. My nephew had one. Interesting design with the adjustments. Harry Baier who created the Yo-yo had a Mondial Hop trick.

Been a hot minute since I’ve yoyo’d. Time to get back into the grind!

I was able to find this for a good price. Not everyone would be psyched about this one, but I thought you guys might :blush:

Finally found a great string for the Hornets.. C3 pro thin. Super responsive while maintaining excellent spin for longer combos. Happy Tuesday, loopers!
