Here’s what’s happening- I just graduated from USF with a bachelors in mechanical engineering. Now it’s time to really get some yoyos going! Look for another wave of Omnicron X’s, all bead blasted & in some really wicked colorways. Maybe even gold plate?
Titanium yoyo- I’m going to do 6 more drawings, so there’ll be 10 total. Then we’ll have an official poll, and figure out what everyone likes best. It’s going to be HUGE!
Lastly- I’ve gotten some orders lately for all my handmade stuff lately. Yes, EVERYTHING is still handmade start to finish, NO CNC’ing at all (with the exception of the Omnicron X of course.) Here’s what’s brewing on my manual lathe!
First thing to drop will be these acrylic Steamrollers. The X^3YO3 official collaboration
That’s a Hammerhead, with a Duncan light up FHZ board inside.
Here’s my stock-pile of un-machined yoyo stock! From the top: 2.125" Acrylic for Cosmo/Ceephax/Acryllion/Accent. 2.125" Delrin for Volume/Capella. Bottom left: 2.25" acrylic for CMA & Hammerhead. Bottom Middle: 2.00" teflon for Grind King & ??? Bottom right: 2" acrylic for acrylic steams & ??? Question marks indicate a definite potential of new models. All this I’ll eventually turn by hand into another awesome 3YO3 creation!
Oh, well under the volume I see black, white and half and half. Under the pictures there are some dyed. How come this isn’t available under the drop down menu?
Here’s what I was up to on Friday-- Went down & paid a visit to my bead blaster, and blasted ALL the remaining Omnicron X halves. 176 halves, a neck cramp, and 5 hours later, I had them all done. Taking them to the anodizer sometime this week, though Monday & Tuesday’s taken up w/ a clutch job for my girlfriends car, haha.
Titanium project’s coming along well too. Went to the machinist’s Wednesday and discussed some things. I’ll be refining design 5, as it looks like that’s pulling well ahead of everything else. Will keep everyone here up to speed with the changes, as they occur.
Looks like production is pretty much set to start on the Ti’s in about 2-3 months, though! Planning on doing a bigger run so as to keep up with demand, that seems to be what all the previous Ti yoyos lacked. Hopefully everyone who’s looking forward to this can get their hand’s on one :D. It’s going to be EPIC!
Cheers guys, appreciate you reading up & following this! I’m having a blast doing this Ti project!
