Thing kicked like a mule, wrecked the material and scared the daylights out of me. I was lucky I wasn’t holding what I was cutting 😅 ---

I made it out of some plywood I was cutting a jig out of (to try the hole saw without a pilot with a clamped jig). I knew it was going to be too light and it is. 32g. Need to get better at making equal halves, but it plays ok all things considered. ---

No. It has 8 hole response as my last few. It has a 2.6mm gap. It’s currently press fit on a 1/4” oak axle. ---

Nice! I imagine with the response system and gap size that it is pretty much snag free and allows for advanced fixie string tricks with ease while still responding proper, awesome job ---
