Great looking throw!
…and now I finally realize why it’s called that.
what tools did you use to make this, is it something that i could give a try at pretty easily?
You need something to cut blanks from delrin rods (mitre/chop saw, Bandsaw, etc.), a lathe, and forstner bits for initial hollowing.
A metal lathe would probably be most consistent, but I use a wood lathe with chisels.
If you don’t have experience turning, it will take a lot of practice to make these well. If you already have experience with a lathe, I’d say it’s worth a try! I highly recommend starting with wood if you never turned yoyos before.
i have some wood turning experience, but have never worked with synthetics or plastics, i sent you a pm!
Glen is a beast; that is all.
Any idea where you will be posting these for retail?
Yes, I know where I’d like to, but I’m not going to make the suggestion until they are all complete.
I like it, reminds me of the Diverse Animals yoyos
Do you want them released here on YYE if I can? I guess that could be a dumb question.
Glen have you tried poly and cotton strings on these? Any difference in response?
ooh those look nice!
Poly works so perfectly on this model that I’ve never tried cotton.
Want them?
Do you need to ask Glen? Of course!
I’ll snag one
Great! I’ll send you a PM with the details as soon as I’ve made the last 6.
