Today’s mail day was brought to you by the letters, I-L-Y-Y, the word, Mary, and the color, Blue.
Hi! of course with pleasure but I think it is more coherent that I post it in the dedicated discussion
I got the Dove, Pelican and Chopsticks Gorilla along with some goodies from @FrankieJR. The black beauty on the left is an ILYY Abyss.
Isn’t that orange?
That’s a brownish red, yes. We labelled it Autumn Red back in the day.
I’m loving mine too!
That is probably the most oafish fixed axle yoyo I’ve ever seen. No way I’d get inspiration from something like this. Lol
Harsh. I more meant the axle system, but I am not equipped to know whether or not that part is oafish.
The hex nut on the outside of the body looks a bit makeshift to me. The whole design looks like it is meant to be an unresponsive and not at all a fixed axle yoyo.
Probably just a fun project they decided to do for kicks.
or, a prototype.
one drop used hex nuts one their early throws for a while…
Hex nut embedded. That is much more practical (and even kinda classy in my opinion).
concur! the project was a looker
If a guy who is not a manufacturer makes a yoyo in his shed which has an unusual shape and a hex nut on the outside to secure the axle… That, however, is really cool. I love that kinda stuff!
I sometimes spend time watching videos of grand dads making yoyos. They have some interesting designs and methods, I love it!
my favorite part was in the beginning when he was making the top and he said, “… and now we’ll add some pizzazz to it!”
that was some grandpa material right there😂
Also, you want Oafish?
Dang
