Thanks for the nice words everyone.
Jack:
I don't know about craftsman, but I like to figure out (and make) things I am interested in. I think you understand all about that with the string

I am bummed I am missing my oldest yoyo. I originally learned with the Tommy Smothers video that came out around 1988. It came with a red Kodak yoyo (I miss it). Don't know what happened to it:(
I have been around a while. I used to live in Chico, so I went to College there and learned a bunch from the Bird N Hand crew back then. I remember your old Duncan videos ( still great stuff).
That Bearing King is most likely the one that is in the best shape. I think I have like a dozen in some state of disrepair. The ones that are still usable have been claimed by my son. I plan to try your mod, but need to get a wood lathe. Next spring is the plan!
