I wouldn’t put it past me to just make it up in my head then assume everyone else knows what I’m talking about. But yes those look to be Sleepworthy jammies. ---

I made this. Very happy. Only weighs 46 grams but I’ve done shoot the moon, stalls, flyaway dismount. All worked. Made of cherry with a maple axle. I only press fit the axle and it sits a bit proud of the faces of the yoyo. I’m going to disassemble it and take just a hair off the axle length and glue it in place. ![3DCCC5E9-1D7E-455E-9DB4-37B57FF0F8EA](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/3/d/13d3137bc0bb47b83da2aa4d96718aceeabf39a3.jpeg) ![A9805111-37A9-4D44-8E45-EB252888E43E](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/1/f/c/1fcd5e977952f2cfc35bbdacf19c8eb71d9b094f.jpeg) ![BA8377B5-9A42-417B-A213-FBD768571309](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/a/8/3a85dd974dc962fd849a146b915ebf5f6cd8f372.jpeg) ---

@vegabomb Nice work. I used the same woods for my first attempt at turning a yoyo this morning. It’s not pretty. It sleeps ok and responds well, but I’d like to get it to play a little smoother. I also want to work on the overall design. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/f/f/2ff2000319c1cdc319194ca8d63c05e4111f2d6d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/d/f/9/df9799195d70d6217ec867d53824148cd5df4437.jpeg) ---

Thanks! That’s a wooden chuck I made that I screwed a to the faceplate and turned. You just need double sided tape ring if the yoyo halves on it to turn them. ![20191003_110807](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/1/1/f116aacc9a735960e132ddc4f08b3426b5682591.jpeg) ![20191003_110819](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/f/3/6f3b0ba9018e86452a48f02636873d2952cb753d.jpeg) ---

> [@anon5341354](#): > > What was your basic method? What was the looooong way you took? I rough cut the two pieces, drilled a 1/4” hole in the center of them and put them on a pen mandrel. I used Cole jaws to do the finishing on the faces. I’m curious about your double sided carpet tape method. Do you just “eyeball” centering the half on the jig? I feel like if I were to do that and were just a smidgen off the yoyo wouldn’t turn properly.
