New USA machine shop?

Up & Coming Manufacturers
1

Hey all I havent been active here in some time but that may change. Cooking up some new possibilities.

I recently moved states and am in a new location where I may have the opportunity in the near future to do a short run of in-house (USA, west coast) manufactured yoyos. I now have access to some bar feed lathes and even live tooling, but time would only allow for a short run at least for now. I already have a anodizer in mind whos more on the artistic side of finishing, but… The only problem lies in my old cad designs, they are outdated and rough. I need to play around with modeling some more myself… wheres Wayne with @yoyoworkshop_wayne when you need him! Haha!

Anyways I’m coming here, specifically the CAD Prototyping thread, for a lot of inspiration on design, so thanks everyone. Im thinking it would be a mono 6061 yoyo, probably organic. Big shoutout to all the good knowledge here and feel free to reply with any ideas or insight. I may update this thread with more info or movement.

Mario! Great to see you back man, I still remember you from DXL a few years back. You had the pelican case of MMC’s which was pretty sick lol. Just wanted to say what’s up, and that I’ll be cheering you on in this endeavor :call_me_hand: Excited to see whatever comes from it!
