I haven’t cut the bearing seat in this one but I’m just using it as a model to write cnc codes to make 2 halves that are exactly alike. I made this on a manual lathe it took me about 2 and a half hours give or take. I don’t yet trust my manual skills to make 2 parts this complicated that are exactly alike 😛 sorry about the crappy phone pics [](https://i.imgur.com/tknIv4z.jpg) [](https://i.imgur.com/CQ0E35g.jpg) ---

you could probably make a mold of this one and then make the other on from it if you want… but the designs great! ---

thanks man the design is one of many that I have drawn up but it was the only one I was capable of machining manually given my current skill level I didn’t think about making a mold that’s a good idea me and a friend are working on a program for it though I’ll be sure to post pics with the final product. I don’t plan on selling them but if I get the chance to make some more I might post a bst or something. I just cant wait to play with it ---

Pretty good! Is that a first attempt? Because if so, that’s really good for a first attempt being as things rarely go as planned. ---

Thanks everyone this is my first yoyo I have made but I’ve been machining for a couple years now so it wasn’t a huge challenge although it wasn’t the easiest thing I’ve made by far. I’m thinking about calling it the Canebreak after the Muskogean word Coosa which is the name of the river the native Americans inhabited here in the part of Alabama I’m from. ---

Nice looking work! Can’t wait to see where this one goes. Also, it was a woman who introduced me to machining in 1986 and I’ve worked with women machinists plenty of times. Although I’d still place the male to female ratio in machine shops at about 98/2. ---
