This is more for me to see what i’ve done and to have the pics in one place but I would very much appreciate any comments/criticism from some of the experienced modders. I cant find the pic of my first recess but it was bad lol 2nd recess, done with a drill ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/a/f/aaf81132cbd3564b3e36ec6d8862cafcfb389cdc.jpeg) 3rd recess, done on a Dremel [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3439/3976361439\_bd9368e41a\_o.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3439/3976361439_bd9368e41a_o.jpg) 4th recess, done on a drill ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/c/d/4cdb3171dd45f95dfe424fc9d76efccee2c11fab.jpeg) 5th recess, done for DYonch on a drill (in my opinion my cleanest yet along with the fh2) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/f/8/df84f765f5bb8677ece3522799bff838b5679fe1.jpeg) 6th recess, done for a kid in my yoyo club (and I cant remember your name lol) done on a wood lathe ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/d/8/9d89239951dfa4a64e7b5565ead0bd6b1c71df6d.jpeg) Satined M1 [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3897998018\_cf7b17100c.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3437/3897998018_cf7b17100c.jpg)[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3227/3897217373\_4ce5488f98.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3227/3897217373_4ce5488f98.jpg) M1, Pinstripe done on both sides ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/7/6/376bce55801925a1f2f385c19013eb28b7efc370.jpeg) I’ve also done a bunch of spiral satins that grind really nice and look good but there is room for improvement in terms of looks.

All I can say is never use your dremel again. All those others look fantastic. You may be able to get it little closer to the bearing though. But it will still do the job very nicely. Well done. ---

The fourth, fifth, and sixth recesses all look really well done. Good job. ---

But it will still do the job very nicely. Well done. Yea I haven’t used the dremel again lol. I was nervous with the right side of the fh2 because i thought it was a bit too thin, and doing it free hand, even with a wood lathe, the hardest part is the first cut and getting it in the right spot ---

My first FH2 I modded was freehand w/ a dremel and much worse than any of these, LOL!!! I have a press now for my dremel and the recess comes out nice and smooth. ---

Got another FHZ at the store today and did a single side pad recess. I’ll have pics up tonight when I get back to school. This is the first FHZ I’ve done a single side pad recess on and I actually like it much better than my sili recessed ones. Right now I’ve got a textured Gen-pad in it. ---
