I third this.
Do you really want to pay for those?
If I had the funds, I would.
If they function fine and it’s purely cosmetic, I don’t see why not.
I suppose it depends on the price tag as well.
Well the problem is they still too conisderable time to make. Id do them for $40 shipped, but that’s hardly worth it.
Some of them I already started painting badly, that one might have been one of them.
I havent got my printer set up and running yet, and I also don’t have wifi yet so I can’t print anyway.
Without wifi, I cant use my printer. I get my house online on Tuesday. Then I can post some pics and organise selling some.

Gotcha! Well I’d honestly take any of them that are unpainted. I think it’s kind of cool to have a cosmetically blemished SpinWorthy.

Thank you Sir.

Thanks,
These are #1-4
1 is a yoyo shaped object
2 is a pre 20th century. Does tricks but you have to already know them
3 is a no- jive by accident, started as a looper but plays better inside out
4 is a jumble of modern design elements I wanted to try and has a bit more mass.
4 plays best in every aspect except for not looping quite as well. Matador spikes work perfectly but I should recess them a bit further

These are super rad! What is your process for making them?

Used a hole saw to cut some pucks and the shmoove groove, then bolted them on to the power drill and then shaped using just sandpaper and a cork block.
The eucalyptus is a chore to work and made everything I was doing wrong more obvious.
The drill is mounted on a jig I made for a hand crank drill bead lathe a while back. Not the safest, but safe enough.
All are limited by the size/quality of the $9 hole saw kit being used

Very cool. So your smoove is just a hole saw you lightly sink in?
That’s awesome. Way more work than a lathe but very cool.
Couple more things to show off
