I haven’t made anything permanent yet because I’ll have to break them down again to sand/polish. I removed the burrs nicely with some “medium” foam backed sandpaper, but next I’ll try to chuck them in my drill to make the polishing go a little faster. I’m trying to prove that a 4 dollar yoyo can be more than meets the eye. So far so good.
I also want to dye them black. Why? To veil them in mystery, my dear.
I got that Apollo today - in two pieces.
In two pieces meaning unassembled or broken?
Broken. Not beyond repair, bit still broken. I’m not sure how to go about fixing it. It would be like if you twisted it apart. It needs glued back together but I’m concerned about getting the gap right and liking up the halves in a way to make it smooth as possible.
I kinda feel bad. I emailed the seller and very gently explained the issue. A few hours later, a full refund hit my account along with an apology. I think it was broken in transit. It was shipped in a padded envelope.
Sorry to hear that, Waylon.
Awesome to see that TMBRxSPYY collab!
The gap on my appolo pro is a snug 95 thousandths. The halves are such that the laminations line up with each other on both halves.

I really don’t like padded envelopes for shipping unless the yoyo can be taken apart.
That’s a let down for certain, but you might be able to experiment with orientations of the halves if the axle is intact and then use gorilla wood glue to fix it.
Just got some 50/50 for my Irving, will see if they suits me better than Cotton.
I decided I want 3-4 Wood yo-yos for christmas 
So SPYY, TMBR Baldwin and Lovejoy??
Also, if I want to get something draw on wood yo-yo, what should I use? Will it stay there or will it get erased after few minutes of yo-yoing?
my want factors just kicked I’m I need to find my little wood Duncan and give wood a try
Scored that auction today with the 2 Apollos and 2 Blackbirds! Thanks Adam.
awesome!
I lost that auction. 
Thanks Adam.
hehe.
The auction thing… That is kind of funny.
I’m thinking ill find something hard to use as a shim and compare it to the gap on my Atlas. Then I’ll just line up the lamination lines, add glue, insert the shim, and lay a book on it until it dries. You guys think that will work?
Was wondering, what is specs on SPYY EH?
Also there is restock of Baldwin at tmbr.
That seems like a good plan to me! At least the yoyos in that auction were bought by one of us. 
I’m curious to know the difference between the Apollo and the Apollo Pro. The yoyo museum isn’t too specific.
Neither is yoyowiki.
I sadly cant find my wood duncan. so what would be a good wood to try out?
Looking at them, I’d say the only difference is the name and labeling.
The gap on my appolo pro is a snug 95 thousandths.
I want in on this!Where may I purchase one of these “woodies” you speak of ,and which one shall I get?
Buy a TMBR. You have very few options for currently produced woodies, however, Colin’s workmanship is second to none. I’ve played three Baldwins, a Fremont, and Irving Pro. All of them famtastic!
