Not sure if it’s the same in the states but here it just seams to be be the colour. In my case Green. Stick a nice and thick peice of leather to a scrap of ply and bingo.
Hopefully there is a picture attached. I wish I was more tech minded

Since I was here I took a pic of the carbide tool I made, not as fancy as those store bought ones but does the job.

Wanted to make something for counterweight fixed play, (or at least want I think would make a good one.
Haven’t tested this yet, I want to let the epoxy cure first.

What is the difference between a regular fixed axle design and one that would be good with a counterweight? I just strung up my first counterweight yo-yo last week, so I’m a complete novice.
I don’t really know for sure, but my guess is high walls, large diameter and fairly thin. I could be totally off though.

I’d actually prefer a wider catch zone to higher walls. If you could somehow do both though that would be ideal though. This is speaking from not having tried a ton of fixies and responsives, but anything with a more tapered catch zone at the top is much easier to play. Also a metal axle that wouldn’t snap on hard impacts. I think if anything durability is my biggest desire since I’ve snapped wood axles playing fixie 5A.

This is interesting, why split them up like this?

With 2 hidden nuts, this is really clean work man. Seriously

Thanks, mate. I only use basic M4 hex nuts from the hardware store. They are very light, so they add very little weight to the yoyo.

Yea but securing nuts that small in wood is no easy task, especially when balance and vibe is important

Further experimentation with take-apart designs.
Here is a Bloodcell I will test tomorrow when the epoxy is cured.

I’m starting a new video series on making organic shaped wood unresponsive yo-yos using the Yo-yo Expert fluid 3-d printing kit. Fluid 3D Printing Spacer Kit – YoYoExpert
Below is a link to my first video in the series. Including a rundown of my new wood inventory.

I don’t have anything finished right now. What are you looking for?
I’d love one of those as a fixed axle just like that, no covers! That looks freaking awesome!
