--- Quote from: Powder Keg on March 18, 2011, 11:02:28 AM ---Great job guys!!! I've been wanting to make a few Yoyo's. I drew up a couple a year or so ago. I just haven't had any time to make them yet. I wanted to make some out of acrylic rod. But haven't found any big enough yet. Thanks for sharing. --- End quote --- A friend makes fantastic production yo-yos by hand out of acryllic. http://www.landonbalk.com/yoyos.html |

I absolutely marvel at what you lads get up to. How do you know what to do? Is it all guesswork, or are you following a proven formula that gives you what you want, or just a combination of both? I really do admire your work, not only on the machining side of things, but how you come up with new ideas and put them into practise. :bow: :bow: It's like taking a lump of tough old meat and turning it into a gourmet meal.
