This is sick!
Here are a few more pictures of the yo-yo:

Iām excited about cutting my first bearing seat and not messing it up.
I have no idea what Iām saying but what if you adapted the axle system to accept side effects? I know wood has weight issues, do the math for each half and it should be able to balance out the wood somewhat right?
I know itās hard to tune a wooden yoyo to be balanced, since wood isnāt a completely homogenous material, but if you can make a wood and brass in a somewhat āInspireā shape thatās fairly balanced, i would be willing to pay a good bit for it.
Looks nice! Like the shape. I think the issue with weight may be due to the smaller diameter.
PS: The bearing seat looks nice.
I made these caps today:

I probably should have put a little more effort into finishing them properly, but these were more of a test run. I may start selling these if there is enough interest.
That is awesome!
I had a day off on Friday and finally got around to finishing this.

Itās pretty much the antithesis of my wooden yo-yos, which is what I was going for. Itās larger, less wide, and heavy. I did a few dumb things while turning it, but in spite of that itās still fairly smooth (somewhere around a YYJ vibe). I have also hit the point where I canāt stand just turning things from ideas in my head anymore, so Iāve started designing the rest of my yo-yos in CAD, which will increase quality and allow me to control weight better.
Specs:
60.0mm Diameter
35.2mm Width
4.1mm Gap
70g Weight (estimated)
C Bearing
Silicone Groove
Delrin
Thatās cool! does it play well?
VERY nice Mrcnja!!
Thatās amazing!
How does it play?
Is that the delrin I bought you???
Thanks for all the good words. It plays nicely and is a lot of fun.
Yes, it is.
Awesome! Iām glad it went to good use. I love the throw I bought from you btw, really cool and everyone thinks itās one of the best looking yoyos in my case.
Nice!
Awesome work man, keep emā coming!!!
YES.
YESSSSS!!! I will buy some if you make em, Im also curious about some grooved ones?
Do you think they will affect performance somehow?
YESSSSS, if you groove them, Iāll take 20!
