I use a compass to draw circles on the wood which leaves a centre mark from the pin. Then I rough cut the blanks on my bansaw. I line up the live centre in my tailstock with the tiny hole and turn the half round. Then, I drill my axle hole using a jacobs chuck in my tailstock. The hole created help me to keep the half perfectly centred using the live centre. ---

Ok. Do you eventually flip the half over though and re-tape it to the jig? That’s the step that seems like it’d be tough to get the half perfectly centered. ---

I do flip the half when I’m sanding the face. The method works well for centering the halves. ---

I’ve finally decided to make some woodthread axle yoyos. They will be significantly different to the ones that TMBR make. You’ll see. ---

It’s going to take some time though. There’s quite a process in making wood threads for them to turn out clean and consistent and I’m aware of some of the pitfalls. ---

Oh, I’m sure there are _many_ “pitfalls”. One slip Glen. If that’s even your real name! On a completely unrelated note, I can hardly wait to see some _photographs_ of these _“wood threads”_. ---

I’ve ordered the wood thread box to make them. Now just to figure out how to use it with tolerances tight enough to keep the yoyo smooth and not flying apart. I have my ideas of how to do this. ---

Hot dang this is exciting. If you need someone to poorly test any prototypes, I’m happy to pay to do so. ---

I may have spoken too soon. There’s actually a fairly strong possibility that I will not be making woodthread axles now… I just had a talk with Colin of TMBR and it’s not looking hopeful. I’m not entirely sure yet. ---

A magnetic axle Harbinger. It’s almost OK. It’s starts separating with hard regens. With stronger magnets and it could be a winner. ![20191026_212154](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/3/b/9/3b9254d26c85c204b7da1bccc8d613edf80412ab.jpeg) ![20191026_212207](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/f/a/afa37e70af4e42000503b1daf89f2811b744ac09.jpeg) ---
