Yeah, the shavings got stuck in the collar and couldn’t escape so they just accumulated and rubbed against the yoyo. When I took it off and cleaned the bit for the other half, it was fine. ---

You can still use the collar, just drill a little way, blow away the shavings and repeat until you have the full depth. ---

I experimented with inlays and a different shape on this dud.

Didn’t get as much time as planned. But I made this unnamed fixed axle. Its meant to do both 0A with some decent spin and catchzone for 1A elements.

I know that string sometimes gets a sweet/sour side where it responds easily on one throw and is slippy on the next as the string wraps in the opposite direction. Do axles ever have sweet/sour sides? I’m trying to figure out if I’m dealing with string/humidity issues or something wood related. I’ve tried both a kot-n and a bulk cotton string and am getting the same result - alternating responsive and slippy throws.
