proto 7 is actually really nice looking, the shape is very slick looking and it has a good weight for that shape.
Was busy today with solid works 
Voting going on here!
3yo3’s offstring!
Hahaha thanks for the laughs 
Here’s what I was up to on Friday-- Went down & paid a visit to my bead blaster, and blasted ALL the remaining Omnicron X halves. 176 halves, a neck cramp, and 5 hours later, I had them all done. Taking them to the anodizer sometime this week, though Monday & Tuesday’s taken up w/ a clutch job for my girlfriends car, haha.
Here’s what I’ve got for ya in pictures-

Lime Green!!! Also planning purple & orange, as well as some sweet fades. You guys NEED to at least try one of these. They’re now officially made by a mechanical engineer, haha.
Titanium project’s coming along well too. Went to the machinist’s Wednesday and discussed some things. I’ll be refining design 5, as it looks like that’s pulling well ahead of everything else. Will keep everyone here up to speed with the changes, as they occur.
Looks like production is pretty much set to start on the Ti’s in about 2-3 months, though! Planning on doing a bigger run so as to keep up with demand, that seems to be what all the previous Ti yoyos lacked. Hopefully everyone who’s looking forward to this can get their hand’s on one :D. It’s going to be EPIC!
Cheers guys, appreciate you reading up & following this! I’m having a blast doing this Ti project!

So many yoyos, so little cash…
I mean, time. Or cash. Whatever.
Looks so good, I hope the drop coincides with me having money.
Sell a kidney.
I’ve only got one…
I really hope you’re lying. 'cause if you’re telling the truth, I look like a huuuge d-bag.
I’m half kidding, my left kidney is sketchy due to a birth defect, hahaha, so I have to keep an eye on it. My doctor tells me it looks better now, though, and it hasn’t been a problem in a year or two. And I don’t think you look like a d-bag, it’s not like you knew.
Buuuuut, back on topic, those yoyos sure look smexy…
If it was up to me I’d give everyone a yoyo free lol.
Hopefully I’ll be making enough of these Ti’s that they’ll be around long enough for everyone to who wants one to pick one up. Thant’s the goal, anyway
Update!!!
Proto 5’s drawing has been refined & sent over to the machine shop. Won’t be too much longer now, and the ball’s well rolling
Check out the final drawing-

I’ve also got about 72 Omni X’s anodized & assembled, heading to the engraver. With this batch, they’re all a nice matte blast, instead of pyramatte’d. It’s a great grinding surface!
These are DEAD smooth, like 6 feet under smooth. Primo stuff here!! Check out the pyramid we made after finishing assembly-
Be ready to pick yours up in a few weeks
I’ll have some more picture post engraving!

gotta start saving $$$$ again!
So the Titanium’s finally underway!! Should have all of them back from the machine shop next week. Here’s some shots of the first one off the lathe!
Enjoy!!
Sweet! I almost peed myself on the 3rd picture! I would have died inside completely if it fell!
Haha I thought about if that were to happen! Wouldn’t have been good, that’s for sure
THAT IS MY DREAM YOYO. Oh my god…Im not kidding…That shape is the exact shape I love, I love the weight distribution, and made out of titanium…How much and when can I buy them???
That is absolutely beautiful…, any ideas on a name?
Wowzas.
Looking like they’re going to be around $330. Should be a good bit available here @ YYE!!
Still Un-named, I’ve got a pretty good one picked out, but still open to suggestions
…aw…
