Spinworthy Appreciation Thread

I’ve been planning to start this thread for a while but with Fixed-Feb approaching, I figured it was a good time to get it done.

TMBR yo-yos get a lot of deserved recognition, but for some reason SWs don’t get the same attention. @Glenacius_K is currently taking a break from making yo-yos but he has been very busy over the last few years developing several great models and producing a ton of fixed-axles in multiple materials.
Please share your love of Spinworthy and pics of your collection! :heart::yo-yo:

——————————————————————————

Over this past year, I have acquired all of these SWs.


Row 1:

  • Walnut Harbinger w/take-apart axle and end-grain response (pictured)
  • White Oak Harbinger w/take-apart axle and end-grain response
  • Unknown edition MK1/SW RBC (standard setup)
  • Navy RBC (custom fixie setup - one of my favs)

Row 2:

  • Walnut Urchin (no response - tight gap instead)
  • Wenge Boon (4-hole response)
  • Red Oak Bloodcell (newest 6-hole response)
  • Red Oak KNack (newest 6-hole response)

Row 3 (All made of recycled HDPE)

  • Survivalist (Newest version: 6-hole response, rounded edges - my favourite version)
  • Survivalist (experimental collar response)
  • Survivalist (Original YYE run: 4-hole response)
  • KNack prototype (smaller brass axle, 4-hole response - fairly center-weighted)

My favorite fixie. Deodar cedar bloodcell with a yellow birch replacement axle and 4 hole response. The SW logo is lasered in the gap so both faces look super clean.

Seen you flash this a few times … by far my favorite of the wooden yo-yos I have see posted.l in these forums. Are there spacers to protect the wood at the bearing seat, kind of like what we see with some POM yo-yos?

Ya, @Glenacius_K used the OneDrop Cabal spacers on this.

The one and only Skinny Survivalist through hole version made out of HDPE.

My RBC collection and probably my favorite throws.







I need to get a group photo.

Here’s my Spinworthy collection. My favorites are the oak KNack, beech Bloodcell, darker Button (can’t remember the wood), and the RBCs.
