I’ve decided to make a new yoyo from the ground up, the guts is a bit challenging but finally I get the right measurements with the help from FPM. ![IMG_20230224_150802274](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/8/7/1/8719cde494572dba69aacd114d4280ae819223d3.jpeg) ![IMG_20230224_143722270](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/1/9/c19cb41f1c74e74dd1a9153696b5686fd0d03b1f.jpeg) ---

Haha yep its the GUTS! Not gonna lie doing it from the scratch is indeed challenging but the end result is very rewarding, I’m always relying on the gut template from yoyo designers fb group but making it is way better. ---

Working on a another design. This one is 52mm in diameter and about 50mm wide. Going to further refine it.
