I plays ok. It’s 3-4g heavier than my target weight. The gap is thin enough that I have to use kitty regular instead of kitty fat string. Not a deal breaker, but I think it should be able to handle either option. It loops up a bit with a 75cm string. I’d like to increase the gap just enough to allow a thicker string, but that will probably necessitate a longer string so it doesn’t loop up further. Like 80cm+. ---

Ohh that’s awesome. I hope this ends up on the site after some refinements or heck I’ll buy a proto lol. Either way a wood looper is something I can 100% get behind. ---

I only have 2 more sets of guts to make these, unless I order more nuts from One Drop. I don’t know how many folks would want a wooden looper. I tried a different spacer with a wider gap and a kitty fat string, but it just wasn’t snappy enough for good looping. So I went back for the first setup, lubed the bearing and lengthened my string to 80cm, and it plays great. ---

Why did you choose bearing set up for loops instead of fixed? Just curious - it looks smoove and it’s cool to see how your response design has continued to evolve! ---

Mostly because that’s where my curiosity took me 😁. I also wanted to approximate a plastic looper somewhat. ---

I made a Bloodcell out of an Australian wood called golden wattle. Its about 47g and very smooth. ![20230729_191232](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/3/8/4380adf07c7b5c1200ea35dab9f5178e2b216e5e.jpeg) ![20230729_191211](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/a/1/0a1d7f49069e3706fd9a7cb4104ec0b302194fc6.jpeg) ---

It’s beautiful! I love it! The Bloodcell is my favourite wooden SW model, I think. It’s just so comfy and capable. I prefer the aesthetics of the wing shape models, but I pick up the Bloodcell the most. As a result I now play a fixed RBC as my edc companion yo-yo. :heart: ---

I made a rough prototype to test out my new bearing kit. I’m really excited with how it turned out. It uses the same bearing and pads that are in the RBC. ![IMG_9188](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/f/a/efac8f35692d8d03d50aa5d3cdcb1e60b4e50f80.jpeg) ![IMG_9187](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/2/4/7244a12d7d629737081f27e9347bab043c4a87f8.jpeg) ---
