New to the forum.
« on: February 26, 2012, 11:12:39 AM »
I love making and changing things to either make them better or turn them into something totally different. I've been laing with electronics for a long time but about 6 years ago I got into modding Yo-Yos. I know there is another modder here by the name of Mark132. He is one of my inspirations. I own a late 50's early 60's Atlas lathe. I use it for almost all of my yo-yo modding. I also have fun with welding. I am a welder by trade so that makes sense. I have also made my own brand of yoyo so that is kind of cool. I'll be posting some of my mods later when I compile the pictures I need. I've also modded my lathe. I'll be posting pics of that too.

I'm just glad I found this forum. I've been thinking of getting out of modding thing but seeing this forum has made me think of other things I can do.

Hi there!  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

Modding Yo-Yos is cool. I like seeing what Mark123 was doing with them. Llet's see your brand of Yo-Yo... show it off!

I need to learn how to weld. With the stuff I do, it would be beneficial that's for sure. I did some welding back in high school shop class, but that is about it.

Getting out of modding? Never!! :wack:   :ddb: There is always something to do.  :smart:

Welcome to madmodder Icthus, I guess now I will find out what yo-yo modding is all about.
