How to Make a Wooden Yo-Yo (with a bearing) // Woodworking

Recently I got to take a 30 minute yo-yo class from a couple of professional yo-yoers and it opened my eyes to how much fun (and how accessible) it was. I immediately started thinking of how to make a yo-yo and since I still need lots of practice on my lathe, I figured I'd give it a try. I added bearing to my yo-yo and as a first try, it worked pretty well. I learned a lot and hope to turn another yo-yo soon building in the feedback from commenters.
