Those are really nice looking. If you center drill the blank, you could use a beam type circle cutter on a drill press to cut out the center of the blank. It would give you a smoother finish that would require less sand paper/file work to finish up.
Ah! I know exactly what you're talking about. That would make it much easier. It'd make a clean cut, and the only sanding would be to round off the edges.
Yeah, should work well. If they don't cut deep enough, you can cut halfway through and then flip the yo-yo over and cut the other way for the other half using the same pilot hole. If your drill press table is 90° square to the chuck, it should make a nice cut.
I love your yo-yos. I would really like some woodburn along the center hole to customize it with the name of our boat. Would you be willing to turn a couple blanks? Then I could burn, epoxy, and varnish on my end. Also, if you could sign them that would be great. Enjoying your channel and subscribed.
Why not use clamps for the glue-up? And have you solved the separation issue yet? Cause I have a few ideas about how to completely avoid any kind of filing. As in, "wood plate chuck" for example. th-cam.com/video/bl74JOZSyUc/w-d-xo.html

I wish you were closer, I have a bunch of cedar that would make nice ones.
Cedar would be nice.
Brother, you need a 3 jaw Chuck to hold it while you finish the center.
yup! That would be a great addition. Does it really hold it strongly?
@@BlackWarriorLures i make bowls and plates etc. with a chuck and it holds very well.
@@fives645 Nice, maybe it's time to get one.

Okay, let's see. I put up this unfinished blank page on the Web site. Let me know if this works for you. blackwarriorlures.com/product/wcoblanks/
Ordered. Thank you for the help. I can't wait to get these finished. I'll be sure to post pictures of the progress.
@@Unwrittentimeline Wow! Thx. I have three reels to turn today. I'll get started on yours this week.
where did you get that hat? very cool
I make these myself. They're available over on the Web site: blackwarriorlures.com/product/wooden-cuban-yoyo-fishing-reel/
Nice work if you put a sponge under your sandpaper it will not heat up so bad .
Ahh! Now that's brain power!. Will have to try it when I get back on the lathe once the weather clears.
@@BlackWarriorLures love your videos I use no.36 it's tard bank line when I hand fish for catfish I got some tips from your videos nice work 👍
@@scotttrimble688 Yeah, I know what you're talking about. It's good to have a good, strong line when wrangling big cats.
Is this a pitch pine ?
Yeah, it's southern yellow pine I got from Lowe/Home Depot.

Yup, I do use clamps, and I have solved the parting issue. No, I don't use a jaw chuck. A simple faceplate is best.
