I agree with Mr Dressel I had ( had ) one it catches the eye but that is about it, it vibrated itself apart violently and quickly. ---

I am posting a big thank you to the forum, Patric Dressel and Eric Plantier for the help in the realization of my first throw the Org-1 it has been worth the wait. Thank you to all of you. The Green throw is called an Org-1 a prototype I have worked on with Dressel Designs ( Patric Dressel ) for cad drawings and Eric Plantier ( fatguysnaks247, FSYB & FairTrade YoYos ) for production and dealing with manufacturers and shipping. Big thank you to them both willing ness to work for an average thrower and collector. Going to work with them both again would recommend them to anyone they are great. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/7/b/b7b65eb3aebbd545e41eed682dbc3015783c6645.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/b/5/e/b5e9e12504f806195acd1667e18de64cac2a05c2.jpeg) ---

I proto-typed these on a South Bend lathe in my garage in the early 90s. Took me about a month to get it to CNC 1st production run. I just did it fooling around at first. I had NO machine shop experience, just made a few until they worked. They are in 3 sizes, 5 colors and 3 styles. Solid(for laser engraving), 4 hole, & 8 hole. They weigh about the same as a Yomegaā€™s old Raider. (I used to work there.) The roller bearing was a sealed aircraft grade bearing with an extending center race, requiring no caps or spacers. I called them Joyos because my name is Joe, lol. I just moved cross country and I havenā€™t found the rest of them to photograph yet, but will when I find them. ![Mag wheel 4 hole](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/3/8/7385977444205b61db4d29ae29f8afa64082c028.jpeg) ![Mag wheel profile & bearing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/7/1/9/719c0571e8f6a97e55936ade5adfeb5e103c7641.jpeg) ![More models](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/b/6/ab6a77407d12a9f453f60eacce1a7ce8280b1792.jpeg) ![The 1st CNC production yoyo made](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/e/c/2ec0361077efd798a1ce2a064baccd952397e358.jpeg) ---

Hey guys I recently been want to design and manufacture my own yoyo. Iā€™ve got a CNC mill that I can use. I am using Onshape to design the yoyo. Is there a standard for the ā€œgutsā€ and Iā€™m trying to think of solutions on how the use the CNC mill to cnc both sides of the yoyo ---

A mill isnā€™t really ideal, but you can read this thread about how someone else attempted to do this: > [@My Machining YoYos Adventure](https://forums.yoyoexpert.com/t/my-machining-yoyos-adventure/301925): > > Hello All, Some of you might remember me from years ago. I have not been in the forums for the past few years. But I have been improving my machining skills. I decided to give machining a yoyo another try. I currently have access to a Haas Mini Mill 2 and that is what I am using. Next year I should have access to a cnc lathe, but until them I thought I would see what I can do. Step 1: Start with a cylinder of aluminum 2.25 inch in diameter Step 2: Machine the top nice and flat Step 3: Spā€¦ You can measure the bearing seat of a yoyo you own to create the drawing in your designs. Thereā€™s many ways to approach the guts/yoyo design, I talk about one method here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krm\_Jlv9g-c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krm_Jlv9g-c) There are several other videos on my channel that may interest you.
