Hey everyone. I’m looking for some old beaten up b grade or trashed throws. I don’t care how bad the vibe is. As long as the axel and bearing is there I’ll take it. I’m working on messing around with making mods for aluminum yo-yos in class so I want to use trash throws. Thanks! ---

My one welding instructor and I have been experimenting adding rim weight on aluminum yoyos through TIG welding. We did it with an old DV888 I had and it worked well but we want to try something else again. ---

What metal are you using for the rings? I hate welding aluminum in general but especially to other metals. Aluminum has that layer of aluminum oxide coating it that has a significantly higher melting point than aluminum plus having to angle the arc/regulate the power for the other metal as well. I dont have the patience lol give me mild steel any day ---

It’s an aluminum filler wire from TIG we use to give it more weight. Its quite the challenge but its fun to mess around trying to make new things. ---

That’s pretty cool! The most I mess with aluminum wise these days is super janky mig welding with a spool gun where aesthetics are not important. ---

Haha I understand man. Spook guns are just used to lay welds out quickly for aluminum. Tig aluminum is hard but if you can pull it off it’s awesome ---
