I ended up using .200"/5mm for the through holes and 1/8" for the small holes. It has an 8mm axle. Just so you know, this is all your fault 😄. I was reading your post about modifying your Legend Wing which got me thinking. Glad I did it, in now plays great ---

I use poly wood glue when I’m compression molding plys of wood together. It’s what they use when pressing skateboard decks. However, in that scenario the excess glue is able to squeeze out of the sides so it never expands under pressure. Maybe I’ll just stick with my Titebond 3 this time around. ---

Update photos on modding a Legend Wing. Holes were a bit sloppy on the cherry varnished one so I went ahead and did a natural one a little cleaner. Time to head home and fit the axles. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/9/d/b9de8d3ca80ee08086be67500254c2d9ba2bb53d.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/0/e/e0ed3ad136289fc8ffca2e95d480f698072ed585.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/9/0/490e3f06a5703ffc576352a7c6a9953f9f5efd58.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/3/0/b30bac1580cd715e8585299881f83303c341de1a.jpeg) ---

The cherry one was really smooth on the inside already, the natural one was insanely rough on the inside. Took a bit of sanding just to get it to that point. I have one more fresh one to practice on if both of these are fails. ---

I would be surprised if they don’t play well. With the gap of around 2.25mm and the response holes, you should be good. I went with a fresh ZipLine Kot-n and was happy with a similar set up as yours Howard ---

That’s awesome. I just got a new legend wing and when it inevitably wears down I’ll probably do something similar cause I refuse to throw anything away. ---

I’d say the first attempt was a success. I think I can do it better next try though. I’m going to try even smaller response holes closer to the axle. Or possibly stick with the 1/8” response hole but only go 1/16” deep so they are really shallow but still create a grippy surface. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/6/b/b6b72d429a275d32baa8317a83c43abcfe9df476.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/b/b/4bbf874ed0bd1fff48712bdba54fbfe263097a3f.jpeg) ---

Yeah the pattern you gave yours looked nice and functional. I did 1/8” holes 1/8” from the axle and 1/16” holes 1/16” from the axle. ---

Definitely did not expect to see yoyo modding have a renaissance in 2023 because of wooden fixies, but I’m all here for it. Really cool stuff.
