A yoyo that I just finished machining recently, what do you guys think.

55mm Diameter  
46mm width  
64g stainless inner rims  
Been yoyoing for a few months now and our family runs a machine shop so I thought why not try and make my own. Had to go through a good amount of aluminum and stainless to end up at this design which I am very happy with

Very nice. Keep at it 💪  
I’m a few months away of making my own too so it’s nice to see more people who machine as well.

It’s pretty awesome you guys have a machine shop. We don’t have one, but I did find a machine shop which is a 5-minute drive from our house. I have become a little too obsessed with revising my designs though.

Sounds great! The main trouble I ran into was getting the right too to cut the grooves for the bearing and response. Hope you won’t trash as much aluminum as I did!

Messed around with rendering. Another request from EthanV. Some CLYW colorways from Eth4nw

Something I’m thinking of doing.

 ![PNG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/b/f/bbff6d9ffd664c14eac7d4ad08e2dbbebb598006.jpeg)  
I copped up some b-grade SuperWides, and in the description it said that they have lots of dents, imperfections etc. So I thought…

…why not cut it, make a weight ring and get this awesome micro bimetal?

 ![supernarrow](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/a/0/ea0b500519ead0663a9129c0ba0c484be47e80d7.png)  
It’d weigh around 55.5ish grams, which is plenty enough for something so small.  
I’m not going to say it’s super awesome, or gonna be even close, but it’ll be fun once I get around to it 😃

Just how small it is?

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/8/2/b82837b62c2664ef3b5eb4f0fd07364a058e790f.jpeg)  
It’s just the very center between my fingers so suuuuper tiny.

First photo of the new Diffraction2. Small changes that I can only just see!  
Feel the same nervousness that I had last time before having them in my hands. I think it’s only a couple weeks out now.

Tried out some decal designing in sketchbook to practice using in fusion. It’s a lot simpler than I thought 😃
