Hey everyone,

Starting a project... nothing to do with SJ's :yoyo:

Thought I would post on the off chance that someone on here is a CNC machinist or knows someone in the trade and could get a good deal?

Would be looking to use aluminum ;)

Ill be happy to discuss further if theres anyone out there who can help.

Im looking at getting a yoyo made, first prototypes.

Ive not a clue at whats involved at the moment. Been talking to some poeple and will be researching hard the next for days but am well aware the biggest thing is to find a CNC machinist. If I approach a company they will charge a rediculous amount. Ive been told £150 to £200 for the first few prototypes. Im looking for someone who can do the work for a very low cost initially then recieve a percentage of the profits once a production run is machined and sold.

Something you would be able to do?
