My solution is to keep the run very small - 30 yoyos, all one colour. If they sell out easily enough, I may be onto something.

Put me down for one, I love heavy yoyos, and Iāve really enjoyed every yoyo of yours that Iāve tried. I want to experience your take on a metal unresponsive.

This one is simply weighty power. It moves relatively fast, too.
I also like the feel, but my tastes differ to the norm.

Josh Yee did a video showing that heavy doesnāt mean slow with the Senpai (also around 70g).
ā¦and at least here, I think the little SW logo is all the marketing youāll need.

I love both your runic logo and the coat of arms. My Spinworthy stickers are my most cherished. I usually reserve them for nalgenes, because those last almost forever.

Id 1000% scoop one as well just so you can gage interest 
Hi Glen, for what itās worth and if youāre interested I can give you my opinion, is the thread title Spinnworty CNC? my answer is absolutely yes! but on the condition that you have something new and personal to say, exactly as you have shown you can do to date with your hand-turned yoyos. What you had produced now I consider it an initial testā¦ because honestly I donāt find anything particularly interesting to push me to get one. This is not to discourage you or because I donāt believe in your potential, but intentionally because over the past 15 years I have seen initiatives like this set off more than once, with great initial support but which then, essentially, āhad nothing new to sayā and in a short time or at most in the medium term they are finished there.
Good luck!

When it comes to metal CNC yoyos, virtually no-one has anything significantly new to say. Thatās why many boutique yoyos come with an excessive amount of artwork or āgoodiesā or something thats just plain weird to be different. If not boutique, they bring out new finishes, release itinerations of old yoyos or make the next signature bimetal or titanium. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of this, itās just the way things are now.
I donāt have anything new to say in metal either, which is exactly why I havenāt bothered to make a CNC run up until now. All Iām trying to do is release what I canāt find easily in yoyo stores; a clean, standard spec yoyo at around 70g. I want a durable, powerful yoyo that I will reach for very regularly. That is what I had made.
Iām appealing to buyers who want performance heavyweights. If thatās not you then walk on by if you like.
Iām not banking everything on my CNC efforts. If the small number of yoyos I intend to get machined have a very mediocre response, then I can personally hand make other ones.

I, on the other hand, find it very sad and very often even in bad taste, this is the reason why some Brands that hinge exclusively on these aspects, even with āpremiumā products, will never have my favor as a buyer.
yes, thanks for the advice, I will continue to walk but not because these are roads that donāt interest me, on the contrary, I am the happy owner of a Dreadnought G that I will never get rid ofā¦ and Iāve known for several years how one behaves yoyo very similar, both in shape and size, to the Sleipnir with a weight of 70 gr, here it is, again made in China, paid about $25 in the Shopā¦
and of these they sold in wagons at the timeā¦ thatās why I find the yoyo you had made quite useless. But it will be just my opinion and for what itās worth, I wrote it to you in the introduction to the previous post.
A greeting 
I get the thought your trying to get to bud but honestly I would rather support a small business or someone who takes more pride and passion in what they are doing vs some mass produced carbon copy of everything else
With that said yeah a cnc metal yoyo isnāt going to say anything new cause there are plenty of them out there. However finding a gap in whatās available today and filling that gap is worth while and how am entrepreneur should operate.
Yoyo as a market is already a pretty small niche. As great of a community there is it is small and boutique or small yoyo shops have to be specific on what they create and why.
Heck in the topic of re releasing designs there is a point itās annoying but many of these small batch become collector items that sit on a shelf collecting dust or get traded around in BST groups over and over. It is fantastic when a yo-yo I have to dig through eBay and marketplace BST sites for hours to find becomes commercially available again.
All in all I would say if Glen has a thing he wants to make that fills a gap in whatās available then why not throw it out there and see what sticks in some small batches. Personally I wish I had the funds right now to throw at this but I have a specific list of throws Iām interested in snd a heavy metal yoyo isnāt on that list today.
The scale is going to come at a premium vs something mass produced but honestly thatās not a concern for those heavily invested in the hobby. The unique stand out vs the dozens of similar throws in a collection.

Spinworth Glen is a cross between and artist and an engineer. He produces exceptional products that appeal to the yoyo community. I am not in a position to purchase this throw but I hope to purchase some of collectable works in the future.

My yoyo is not like the Sleipnir or the Dreadnaught G.
Useless is also a ridiculous word to use to descibe my yoyo.
I think people think that my yoyo must be like the Sleipnir because Iām calling it Slapnir. Iāll have to change the name.

Wellā¦ that and the fact that it looks quite a bit like a Sleipnir (or a YYR yoyo in general). I agree though, Iād change the name.
It just doesnt though. Well, I suppose itās round and is W shape.

Most metal yoyoās look nearly identical. Thereās only so many shapes you can make the thing before itās hard to continue classifying it as a yoyo.

I mean there certainly are some differences, Iām not contending itās a an exact copy. You yourself named it āSlapnirā which means you must have seen the similarity, right?
No thats not the reason. I just thought Slapnir was a fun name. I wasnt thinking about the Sleipnir at all when I designrd this yoyo. I gurantee it plays nothing like it either.
