Hi Huw, that yoyo is beautiful buddy! There is no failures in this challenge. Really appreciate you jumping in on the challenge and I really enjoyed the video! I love that holder you made too, great idea! Thanks again my friend, loved it! 🪀🪀
Just trying something for the first time is a win Huw! I have no doubt that you will make lots of perfect yoyo's to go with all the strings you have and sell them all. And when you sell them you could leave the string off you could have a sign: Yoyo's for sale...No Strings Attached LOL Sorry buddy it is early and have only had a half cup of coffee so far. Take care my friend Hwyl, Gary
Hi Carl, Thanks buddy the colour worked out perfectly. I watched you video just before colouring this one and when you said you thought it was too light I thought oops, mine is very light. I'll do some more fairly soon. Take care Carl and thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Cheers, Huw
It might not have worked but it can’t be a failure because it was very interesting to watch. There was some true craftsmanship there it just needs a little tweaking. I really enjoyed watching this morning. The video was great, the coffee was great and me and the grandkids enjoyed some donuts. Have a great weekend Huw!
Hi Huw... Life is full of ups and downs... in this case just no ups... Haha... Still a very entertaining video and the fancy finish was lovely... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy
Thanks Harold, If it was a competition for looks I might get a medal but for useability I'm way down the bottom of the pack. LOL. I will be having another go at some point as I used to love playing with a YoYo when I was a kid. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw PS You've been busy and thanks for watching them all my friend
Those chameleon powders really made the piece turn out well. It's a shame the yo-yo didn't work. I really like the approach you took to making it all one piece, including the axle. I wonder if a resin inlay might provide more mass to make the yo-yo operate properly.
@WoodenItBeNice honesty, it wasn't a failure because we all learned from it. As for yoyo's, I cut them in half and fit a stainless pin. A little epoxy, and they work great
Thanks, That holder was just something I knocked up after thinking for a couple of minutes but it seems to be very popular. Thanks for your support as ever Chris. Take care my friend. Chees, Huw
Well Huw. It is a very pretty yo-yo. Sorry it did not work, but I enjoyed watching you make it. You know you enjoyed making it. Take care. Cheers, Rob 😊
Hi Rob, It was great fun to make but had my doubts if it would work as it was so light. I will try again as I have 49 other strings to use up. LOL. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Thanks Leo, It does look great and totally agree it needs a lot more weight. Thanks for watching and I really must watch your videos. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
I think the yoyo looks great. I agree of putting a little bit of weight on it or make a bigger or wider yoyo. And when it comes to strings I find using bigger thread used for sawing provides more grip. Maybe I'll make this project one of these days 😊
Hi Jojo, Thanks my friend. I use these up first before trying anything else but will still look inti your suggestion for which I thank you. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Good crack Huw! Never tried turning a yo-yo but its been on my list forever 😂 Sorry it didn't yo-yo but was still a great insight into the process! Love the colour too!! Cheers mate, take care.
Hi Tim, My list has finally gone down by one LOL. I know where I went wrong so all good for me when I make some more. I knew the colour would be a saviour for me LOL. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Good effort Huw. That colour changing pigment looks great. I think I'm going to try one but using a bearing out of a treadmill roller and a short length of the axle as, well, an axle. With two wooden press fitted caps it should have plenty of weight. Don't got no chameleon powders though, only metalic water colours.
Thanks Mike, The Chameleon Powders are amazing and very reasonable from Emma. Looking forward to seeing your attempt and I know it will be amazing. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Well, it may not work but at least it's pretty, Huw! Better luck next time, buddy! You could engrave names for customers or gift recipients on those, too! 😊 Phil
nice attempt Huw, could you drill a hole through the centre and then fill it with something heavy enough to increase the weight? just a thought... take care mate
Hi Grahame, When I do the next ones I will be doing it totally differently as I learned a lot on this one so no time wasted. Take care mate. Cheers, Huw
Nice job Huw love the colour mate .Perhaps drll a few holes and put in 2/3 air gun pellets or fishing weights each side might work . Cheers mate and take care Bram
Nice yoyo Huw. Didn't manage to join in this challenge, which was a shame. Just trying to catch up on loads of videos that i've watched, but not yet left comments for.
G'Day Huw. Looks great. That will go in the collection room. I have noticed in my youthful years that Yo Yo's had weight in them, especially when hit in the head. You have made a CHILD FRIENDLY Yo Yo. 🙂 👍👍👍 Rob
Thanks Stuart, I'm really happy with how it looks just got to get it to work and look good now. 80's is pretty high for us in Wales but it can get hotter than that. Just not good to be turning in that temperature. Take care my friend Cheers, Huw
Hey Huw. Pardon me for sa'in, but just sa'in. Did you ever consider another possibility? I mean, hate to say it, but here goes. Well maybe, just maybe. lol. Maybe it was the operator and not the YoYo. It was a beautiful YoYo in either case. Cheers my friend.

Hi Andy, Hahaha, Yep no ups on this one.
The colour I knew would help me out if it didn't work out LOL.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Well done, Huw! Beautiful to-yo!
Thanks so much Seth.
It's a Yo as it didn't come back up LOL.
It is pretty though.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Prettiest yo-yo I've ever seen, well done Huw! 😃
Thanks Val, It's the saving grace for this one.
Take care Hun.
Cheers, Huw
Great video Huw but definitely a YO 😊
Thanks Mark and agreed a Yo.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Nicely done mate, it does looking stunning, but onward and upward
Take care both of you and stay safe and well
Cheers
Harold
Thanks Harold, If it was a competition for looks I might get a medal but for useability I'm way down the bottom of the pack. LOL.
I will be having another go at some point as I used to love playing with a YoYo when I was a kid.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
PS You've been busy and thanks for watching them all my friend
Beautiful colours in this Yoyo Huw! Something a little bit different and it came out really well. Hope you're doing well
Thanks Ian, The colours worked out as I had hoped just a shame the YoYo didn't.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Nice yo Huw👍
Hahaha, Thanks Steve.
Take care mate.

Thanks Mark, They work really well.
I think it just need to be heavier and bigger.
I'll try thus again.
Take care Mark.
Cheers, Huw
Was an amazing attempt.
Hi Mr Cecil,
Thanks very much indeed, I appreciate that.
I always show when things don't work out as well as when they do.
Take care.

Maybe a fail Huw,but it is certainly a looker😂👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎
Hi Alan, Thanks very much it really does look nice.
Now to get one to look nice and work.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Great work dude. 👍👍
Thanks Masi, appreciate it.
Take care.
Cheers, Huw
Great attempt. I love those pigments. Fun stuff. I’ll get one of mine done soon.
Thanks Doug, Looking forward to yours.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Mine was always a Yo. It only ever went down and refused to come back up!
Half way there😂 you got it to go down
I like your gizmo to hold it while you paint it and love the flip flops of the colors
Hi Luie, Hahahaha, brilliant. You know me, only ever going forward never going backwards. LOL.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Hi Myk, I've joined your club and happy to be a member of it.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
I love chameleon powders. The channel "Claire's Crafty Corner" has used them a lot.
Thanks Amy, The powders are amazing and yes Claire does use them.
Take care Amy.
Cheers, Huw
Look s great Huw Even if it was a bit light to YO-YO good description on how to turn one 👍👍
Thanks Brian, Certainly too light.
Glad you enjoyed it mate.
Take care Brian.
Cheers, Huw
That was a really nice yo-yo holder you used to paint it. Not a fail if it looks good on a shelf. Don't want to be too heavy either. Looked great!
Thanks, That holder was just something I knocked up after thinking for a couple of minutes but it seems to be very popular.
Thanks for your support as ever Chris.
Take care my friend.
Chees, Huw
45th!!!!! LOL
We all know our projects have ups and downs, but that's how we get better! Definitely fun!
Hi Daniel, Hahaha.
Yes they do but this one didn't have any ups, LOL.

Great looks Huw but you are right, a piece like that needs some weight.
Better next time! 😎

Thanks Phil. I will get it to work and that was the plan to do customised YoYo's at the markets.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw

Hi Grahame, When I do the next ones I will be doing it totally differently as I learned a lot on this one so no time wasted.

Cheers, Huw
The colours look great...is there some way to coat it with something to add weight? It's a shame it didn't work out. I'm sure you'll work it out 😊❤
Thanks Heather, I don't think so it needs to be bigger and a denser wood.
Take care Heather.
Cheers, Huw
Nice job Huw love the colour mate .Perhaps drll a few holes and put in 2/3 air gun pellets or fishing weights each side might work .
Cheers mate and take care Bram
Thanks Bram, I treating this a a protype that needs work.
I will get it to work.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
Nice yoyo Huw. Didn't manage to join in this challenge, which was a shame. Just trying to catch up on loads of videos that i've watched, but not yet left comments for.
Thanks John, more of a Yo than a Yo Yo as it didn't really work.
Harder than it looked.
Take care mate.
#Cheers, Huw
Can't win 'em all Huw but it looks great!!😀
Hi Dave, Certainly true.
Same as you I'll show it either way.
Take care mate.
Cheers, Huw
G'Day Huw. Looks great. That will go in the collection room. I have noticed in my youthful years that Yo Yo's had weight in them, especially when hit in the head. You have made a CHILD FRIENDLY Yo Yo. 🙂 👍👍👍 Rob
Hi Rob, Haha yes a child friendly YoYo.
Thanks for watching my friend.
Cheers, Huw
Perhaps you can make a yo yo heavier by inlaying ( or gluing) a quarter into each side or something similar in weight
Thanks Pat, I think it needs to be bigger with a denser piece of wood.
Take care Pat.
Cheers, Huw
Oh well, you get an A for the effort!
Thank you very much, I appreciate the encouragement.
Take care.
Cheers, Huw
Nice try Huw, it's a lovely colour though
Thanks very much.
I did say if it din't work it would look good. LOL.
Take care @Mckmake.
Cheers, Huw
It looks cool Huw even if it doesn’t work. Is 80 degrees hot for summer in Wales? It’s high 80’s here from May to September with high humidity
Thanks Stuart, I'm really happy with how it looks just got to get it to work and look good now.
80's is pretty high for us in Wales but it can get hotter than that.
Just not good to be turning in that temperature.
Take care my friend
Cheers, Huw
What if you tried a different string?
Thanks Randy I don't think it's the string it's just not heavy enough.
Take care Randy.
Cheers, Huw
Hey Huw. Pardon me for sa'in, but just sa'in. Did you ever consider another possibility? I mean, hate to say it, but here goes. Well maybe, just maybe. lol. Maybe it was the operator and not the YoYo. It was a beautiful YoYo in either case. Cheers my friend.
Thank you Dennis, The operator may well have a lot to do with it.
It's probably been 50 years sine I used a YoYo.
Take care my friend.
Cheers, Huw
