Hello everyone! This is my new project I’ve been working on. It’s called Homespun Yoyo Design, and I am focusing on a D.I.Y attitude while designing yoyos. I am working one on one, in person, with a talented local machine shop right here in western PA! This is my first design effort, I am calling it The Keystone. This is just the prototype, but I’d like to know what everyone thinks! I’m excited to dive into the online yoyo community, being a player myself. Thank you all for checking it out! ---

Attractive shape. Would love to see other angles and maybe some info on the specs. ---
