After a number of prototypes, I’ve finished making a fixed axle yoyo I call the **Mother T**.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/2/2/8225c39ab689b592de9ce69f63f679c34bf3f156.jpeg)

I’m really happy with how it turned out. My goal was to create a rim-weighted fixie that felt big, bold, and fun just like Mother T.

**Mother T**?

My grandmother introduced me to yoyos when I was a child. Should would bring out her [Pizza Hut storage box](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/old-butterfly-grandma-s-collection/347067/7) and let us grandchildren throw the assorted Duncans, Yomegas, and random credit union and community college throws.

Grandma called herself **Mother T** when she would write us all letters. The funny thing was that no one actually called her that. But she was quite the personality and had no problem making up a fun name for herself. So this yoyo is for her - a fun, bold yoyo with a big personality that makes its presence known. Just like Mother T.

Agreed, I love the story you shared about these yoyos @Eric_Newlin! Also, I love the yoyos, they look fantastic! I just bought two SW, but I’m very tempted…
