My taig.
Ratcheting handles in place of certain cap and thumb screws. Tool post milled down to accept handle and a reverse side boring bar holder. 2inch 4 jaw self centering chuck. I will try to get pics of more of the workshop soon.

I tinker a bit with a small Taig Lathe that I use to modify antique and modern yo-yos,

What's this about modifying yo-yos? Sounds very cool. Please start a thread, as I for one would like to see more. I have always wanted to either build or modify a yo-yo.

Good little lathe, Mark.  I use one too, and wouldn't want to do without it.

Mark132:
I will go to the shop and snap some yo-yo photos. Most of the stuff i do includes structural mods that make a modern low end yo-yo play like a high end advanced yo-yo. Lately i've been stock piling old Duncan Butterflies and Duncan Wheels on Ebay from the 60s, 70s and 80s and converting their fixed axle to a ball bearing transaxle and response system.


here is a link to hold you over until I get Some good working project yo-yo pics.
