my first mod of any kind

[chief_bignut]

ok so this is going to be my first time modding a yoyo, i just purchased a b grade raw 888 but it doesnt have much of a vibe at all hardly any. so i was thinking that because its got somewhat of a matte finish i would try to polish it. but all i have at hand is a dremmel. so i gave it a try.
heres the before

and here is one half after about 30 minutes of "polishing"



ill get a few pics of the finished product. lol remember ive never done this before and just winged it with a dremmel. im not sure how long or what im supposed to do it. but it was generating a buttload of friction the yoyo was getting hot. now i wasnt holding it in one place. i was moving it around constantly. let me know what you guys think. and pointers ideas???

[chief_bignut]

not exactly the mirror finish I was going for but it is smooth lol  anyone got ideas lol do I need an actual polisher (grinder looking thing)

Try puttting your camera on the Macro setting and then taking pictures that close. They come out clearer. From what I see, it's a wonderful job, but could you try making the pictures clearer?

[chief_bignut]

LOL I used my iPhone sorry I'll take better pics in a bit

[fitchh]

Oh jeeze, okay

you still need to put it on macro and focus it.

What kinda camera do you have?

[chief_bignut]

lol joking i have an older SAMSUNG Digimax S500 its a crappy 5.1MP camera. it was a gift in like 2002 ive been meanning to buy a newer one but just havent gotte around to it. i guess its time  



i tried looking for a macro setting or something like that but didnt find anything. i did dix the settings they were at good i set them to super fine and i upped the pic resolution quite a bit. im gonna take a couple pics in a bit and post em let me know if you see a difference.

[chief_bignut]

nice job! how does it play?

it had a slight vibe to begin with and i see where its comming from. while holding the stacks and spinning it slowly the gap gets smaller then wider. the yo it a tad bit lopsided. but not too bad. not enough to notice if you throw it right.    i cant say it plays better now than when i got it because as soon as i got it i started polishing it. but id say its decent im thinking of sending it to vendetta and have him work his magic. i saw a black base with blue and silver/white splashed DNA that i like.

[chief_bignut]
