Don’t be fooled by its looks; it’s total poo. Lol I like the concept though and will make another laminated one another time using different woods. The density of the purpleheart was way off with this one. ![20190204_202625](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/4/3/b43c88cf5aaa125b7ab10c6b57cce50e2d0dfa76.jpeg) ![20190204_202628](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/0/2/90228205da60101d0bce4edbb66b9e16f8cacde8.jpeg) ---

What if you slim it down and cut back the purple heart a little? ---

Nothing like a little woodworking and a cigar! :joy:🤣 There’s something about a four jaw lathe chuck that just looks so…satisfyingly “gadgety”. That lathe has a few different versions, three or four companies put it out under different names. I’ve got one it’s a great tool for yoyo making. Make sure you get it on a nice solid table! ---

That’s a nice new lathe and the perfect choice for beginning, and, complete with a scroll chuck! They’re actually really good for the price. I would still have mine if it didn’t die on me (mine was already at least 25 years old when I bought it). I started off with the same lathe, except mine was badged as the Australian brand ‘Ledacraft’. ---

> [@GizzmoTheGreat](#): > > I’ve got one it’s a great tool for yoyo making. Make sure you get it on a nice solid table! Haha. Before I had a lathe stand, I used to put mine on top of my thin MDF workbench😱. I don’t recommend that. ---

So I haven’t used a lathe in literally decades. Just familiarizing myself with it. I made this just eyeballing it. It actually spins great! 😀 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/9/8/4988cd698e39acead4ac6807b4a5f5241238662a.jpeg) ---

Thought I’d make myself a one-piece yoyo today. It’s turned from a single block of pepperwood.
