I got lucky. He was looking for old yyj rims to mod in the forum , and i told him about mine but i didn’t want to sell it, i wanted to fix it. the plastic was destroyed, but the rims were still good. He offered to fix it for what i consider a fair price for difficult custom work. I shipped it to him and when it was ready, he shipped it back to me.

Yes, he turned the halves out of delrin and put in cabal guts.

Here are some projects I’ve been up to. This one was meant to be Peak like in shape but was a little off. Fun to play with and came out pretty smooth.

Actually had no clue how this would turn out from start to finish. Pretty happy with the results, super fun to play with, especially responsive with a half bearing.

Have you made any videos of your process making yo-yos? I’m curious about what machines you use and how.

I have thought about filming it but the process is pretty long and I suck at editing videos. I just use a Central Machinery Mini Lathe.

How do you mount the delrin on the lathe? Do you use a chuck?
