Still needs sanding and finish, but here’s the Lati butterfly with a legend wing for comparison.
The Lati weights 68g 
@adamantiumpops is going to be pumping iron with this one.

I wish you could have seen me using calipers on the video you sent of the bitterfly to try to get the curve right. A real precise method to be sure

Your yoyos look amazing. You’re making your own yoyos however you want them while most of us still feel guilty about our last yoyo purchase. I know the wood costs money and it takes a lot of time but still…you’re MAKING your own yoyos!

I have to say, it feels super rewarding. I’ve been lucky to get a lot of great tips from folks on here and learning from examining the awesome throws I’ve received from others.

Is it common practice to sand after assembly @Eric_Newlin? I would have thought it would be easier to sand while on the lathe. Just curious about your process. Thanks!

I initially started by sanding each half on the lathe, individually, before assembling.
When I got my Cole jaw chuck I changed to sanding after assembly because I could easily mount the assembled yoyo back in the lathe jaws.
This method helps makes the inlays more flush and lets me sand everything more evenly in my opinion.
On a related note, I started using the air compressor between sanding grits and that’s been super effective at avoiding packed pores/grain.

Finishing four different variations on my Mother T design. Thanks to @chaselawrence97 and others for the good feedback. @DocPop, I suspect at least one of these will be more up your alley.
Last yo-yos before I have to get ready for teaching and pause the yoyo-making for a while.

I ordered myself a series of custom marking templates to mark perfectly spaced response holes and taper lines. I may not be able to use them soon, but I’m still pumped. Plus, I got them for both 4 and 6 holes response and for various axle sizes.

Nice got yourself a good deal on those parts if they are through sendcutsend.

Yeah, they were super cheap, and since they had a minimum order amount, it made sense to order a variety of templates.
