Looking forward to having some fun with this design :grin: Should have a bit of time to generate interest!

I’m still waiting for the encoder for my lathe and currently this would be 7th in line after the Queen Bee protos are cut.

That’ll be on me, realistically. It’ll be at least 2-3 months at the minimum. I’ve got several projects ahead of this one and I’m only really cutting yoyos in my off-hours as a side gig.

count me in!

Hey everyone, I regret to inform you Inform that I still have no information on an eta

So I’m offering refunds to those who want them

I sincerely apologize for the fruitless wait…

@Lotaxi has been pumping out projects but has been slow rolling. Also has a kid in the way so I wouldn’t expect anything quick… queen bee just got pumped out so I imagine this is on his docket at some point.

If anyone’s been filling the bee thread you’ll also note he’s been rebuilding his tooling and dealing with machine repairs so

So sorry about that. This year has destroyed a lot of my timeline plans for yoyo production things but I do still have plans for it.

This design is pretty near the front of my production line, but until my schedule stabilizes after my daughter gets here and I figure out what nights are gonna look like with my wife on maternity leave I’m pretty hesitant to make any sort of timeline promises.

What I can say is that I make good on my word. These are coming, messy schedule or not.

I’m sure this was a minor typo, but honestly hilarious and true, as a parent lol
