I found a fun way to reuse Levi’s ;) I glued layers of Levi’s denim together using epoxy to make a micarta that I then turned to shape on a lathe. Finished these yo-yos off using Levi’s buttons as axle covers and used the tags to embellish the custom denim strings with gold stitch from 24K Whips.6yr ⋅ hiloyoyo ⋅ r/rawdenim
The first yo-yo ever made from Levi’s Jeans? I made this by layering Levi’s denim with epoxy resin then turning it on my lathe. Finished off with Levi’s buttons and a custom string “Lucky Jeans” from 24K Whips which of course I had to add the Levi’s tag too!6yr ⋅ hiloyoyo ⋅ r/Throwers
Just finished up this yo-yo today, I inlaid popsicle sticks on edge into walnut and turned it on my lathe. Fixed axle with a brass liner and also a wood liner to adapt to different play styles. Whatcha think? Can you taste the rainbow? I always have a hard time pricing my work, what’s it worth?6yr ⋅ hiloyoyo ⋅ r/Throwers
