Aw man! Itā€™s been so long! I donā€™t know where to start! Gonna do this in separate posts! Letā€™s go! So hereā€™s the first large project Iā€™ve done. Powder coated 15 original Anti Yo YWETs for a suicide awareness fundraiser. Done in purple/white at Tyler Severanceā€™s request as tribute to his late brother Danny. The fundraiser was a huge success! The YWETs sold instantly and raised the $1000 needed! ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/7/f674fd4f1adfbb0203688b0825c5dabb5c50f3ac.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/c/d/e/cdef9c02d9a73eec1481eb7a891591616ba7c324.jpeg) I didnā€™t charge for the powder coating, and as a kind gesture he let me keep the leftovers! Picked out the smoothest ones for the fundraiser, but these were pretty good as well. Gave away a few. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/8/d/68d57f3d86208d3fdda5872c4e48f9de37e5ea6e.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/4/a/f/4af1b6fe839f99e83d9fe8e42c246684b63939e6.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/0/d/90dff6fbcc28869fab4861bad55b02141193d857.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/4/5/f45c9ffc0fb103f9382cdc3a9f2af2296360c11b.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/6/5/f/65f302a9cea3c3506d227300f5c0ea219154469b.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/2/3/5/23533488bd6af6c9abcbdf13637c9b570146d904.jpeg) ---

Hereā€™s a couple of mods! Got another Duncan MG! This time powder coated white, and complete with caps by John Higby! Funny story with this one. The threads on this guy stripped not too long after I got it, then I screwed up by drilling the hole for the helicoils too larger (lost the right drill bit). The result was the yoyo was left pretty much unusable. Decided this would be a good time to try using externally threaded inserts again! I ended up tapping the yoyo for a M8x1.25 sized threading for a M4x0.7 insert. After cutting the inserts down so the spacers would sit flat, I powder coated the yoyo again to hide the inserts. The project turned out perfect! Plays no different from before, and can be tuned to have no vibe. Huge bonus is the threading will never strip considering the inserts are stainless steel! Wish I got some shots of the inserts before I cut them down. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/9/f/a/9fa1800cc33456d441b5639dff8a436f958fc291.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/a/3/8/a38046ac74ff4a7582ba1e881ec3dd2946e4aa5e.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/0/7/2/0725c2fc2016ea3491378ffd1bb696fa1862b644.jpeg) Traded for beat up Anti Yo Fluchs and a beat up Bapezilla. Kinda over traded haha, had a lapse in judgement and traded a Draupnir for both haha. I couldnā€™t really do anything with the Bape. The Fluchs however, looks fine enough to work on. Had a lot of vibe, which can be attributed to the bearing seat (or lack of). First I cut down a Buzzon SPR and cut the yoyo to accept it, then I tapped the hole to 1/4-32 to accept an externally threaded insert so the axle size would be 8-32, perfect fit for the spacers. Cut those down, and cut a silicone recess as well. Finally, stripped the worn anodize and getting ready to powder coat. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/e/f6ee57db85a91621148295a9559087a31e3565c4.jpeg) ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/f/6/b/f6b022a783c9d7ec7b1c6bf99912accbe1798f03.jpeg) Here are the inserts I used. To put the size of the external threading of these in perspective, Anti Yo used 1/4-20 sized threading for their yoyos such as the Eetsit, Bape, Fluchs, and Business. Both of the external threading I used on these two yoyos were larger. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/yoyoexpert1/original/4X/e/2/8/e285ef729b3a5a3deb2bcaa42206d9e949eb1ba3.jpeg) ---
