38g is too light. At that weight, it just doesn’t feel like enough power is transferring to the yoyo when you throw it. Its fun enough though and performs OK.

I cringe when I see hole saws used, but that freehand routing on a piece that small is EXTREMELY dangerous!

I thought he was doing well until I saw the router table scene. It went well for him there, but it could have gone terrible.

Good God…

There are ways to do that RIGHT with a router…that particular method with the router table is not one of them.

He could have used the tape method and used a plunge router to accomplish the same task without risking fingers or shooting pieces across the woodshop.

Don’t try that at home people.

Experimenting with gap widths and different response systems. Some play better than others but they all play well.
