This is a photo of my latest hobby. 39 years old and I am loving yoyos again. It is relaxing and frustrating at the same time...lol.

My little collection of throws so far shared by me and my wife.

The Aoda Littles I believe is the second smallest production yoyo. 2nd to the Yoyofactory Mighty Flea which is smaller, a lot more expensive and plays only on special string.

Oh, wow! Those are really cool! I always loved the concept of yoyos, but never did get the hang of them. Can you do tricks?

Love the little one, btw. I've never seen one like that.

I can do singular tricks. Working on a couple of combination tricks now. This all started for me by a chance encounter with a youtube video of the 2010 Worlds Yoyo Contest, Jensen Kimmett's 1st place routine.

I was just amazed at how far tricks have come from when I was a kid just throwing a Duncan Butterfly up and down.

And no, they are not diecast, these are plastic kits built by me.

I haven't posted to this particular forum before, but I've been meaning to do that for awhile now!

My main hobby is making jewelry. I love bracelets the most, but they take a lot longer to make than, say, a ring. I have a backlog of bracelet ideas in my head right now that I can't wait to work on.

Anyway, here are a few pics:







If there are any other jewelry makers out there, I'd love to get some reviews/recommendations on casting equipment. I really want to do more casting and I'm looking into buying my own equipment to do so, but I can't decide if I should get a vacuum casting machine or a centrifugal machine. I've only ever used a centrifugal machine so far.

such talented people!

I used to build dinosaur kits when I was, maybe 10 or so, I think. I made all they had, which wasn't many. Now that I'm older I collect buttons


and stitch
