“yoyos that don’t use caps”…for example: the YYJ Classics pictured above? ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/2/3/f23007a4501a3f2ee9c7b98cdc920c1275198c9c.jpeg) ---

Would you do it on a metal that doesn’t accept caps? ---

Classics do not have lips for caps, or even lips that "could’ be used for caps. I suspect these are gently lathed to create a surface for mounting the glass dome. ---

> [@GregP](#): > > Classics do not have lips for caps, or even lips that "could’ be used for caps. I suspect these are gently lathed to create a surface for mounting the glass dome. That is exactly correct…each side of the Classic is mounted on my lathe, where I cut a precise 1.5" diameter counter bore about 1/16" deep, which is about as deep as I can go without cutting through. This particular process does not use a captive “cap”. It is a piece of dome shaped glass, with a paper cutout attached to the bottom that is then permanently glued into place. The glass gives the image a pretty cool magnified look. Don’t think there are many (if any) take-apart aluminum yoyos that would work with this process. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/e/9/6e911557bf84bd9e0ca3b8661edfd6fa82a9192e.jpeg) ---
