Why don’t you go have some more fun with something else?

That looked awesome and possibly blinding in the right lighting conditions!

What’s next?

Well, my fun really depends on getting my hands on a raw yoyo which unfortunately comes pretty few and far between. My previous attempt was a Ti Walker, which took quite a bit more patience than an aluminum counterpart…

Of course if anyone else has some raw yoyos they’d like to throw my way, I’d gladly oblige for a small nominal fee _cough deloreantfl cough_ ;D

Got an update after a bit of refinement. I’m still planning on taking more pics in natural daylight but I wanted to catch it while it’s fresh.

Is someone experiencing seller’s remorse?

That TFL Delorean is too nice for everyday play for me for now. I like how it looks satined on the outside, polished on the inside rim.

I have a Agape that is soda blasted except for the inner portion of the rim, which is polished. I think the contrast in surfaces makes it very eye catching.

Any interest in polishing a Groovy Lady TFL? :🙂

Would that even work? Or would the grooves be too hard to get into?

Actually I’d be really interested to try that. PM me and we’ll work something out.
