This is sick!

Here are a few more pictures of the yo-yo:

Iā€™m excited about cutting my first bearing seat and not messing it up.

I have no idea what Iā€™m 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 itā€™s hard to tune a wooden yoyo to be balanced, since wood isnā€™t a completely homogenous material, but if you can make a wood and brass in a somewhat ā€œInspireā€ shape thatā€™s 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.

Itā€™s pretty much the antithesis of my wooden yo-yos, which is what I was going for. Itā€™s larger, less wide, and heavy. I did a few dumb things while turning it, but in spite of that itā€™s still fairly smooth (somewhere around a YYJ vibe). I have also hit the point where I canā€™t stand just turning things from ideas in my head anymore, so Iā€™ve 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

Thatā€™s cool! does it play well?

VERY nice Mrcnja!!

Thatā€™s amazing!

How does it play?

Is that the delrin I bought you??? :smiley:

Thanks for all the good words. It plays nicely and is a lot of fun.

Yes, it is.

Awesome! Iā€™m glad it went to good use. I love the throw I bought from you btw, really cool and everyone thinks itā€™s one of the best looking yoyos in my case.

Nice!

Awesome work man, keep emā€™ coming!!!

How about some wooden fixed axle sleeves?

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, Iā€™ll take 20!
