    Evergreen would work, but sap may get on your hands when using the yo-yo.

    Can I also do this on a lathe?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Yes, if you wanted to, you could definitely do it on a lathe. In the project, you pretty much make your own homemade lathe out of the drill and that other board.

    What do I do if I use the wrong wood?

    The wood type only matters in the ease of making the yo-yo. If you have a large knot, it could break when impacted.

    Making things yourself is usually less costly than buying them. Depending on what materials you have on hand, making a yo-yo may not cost you anything.

    What can I use to fill the caps? I don't have hot glue gun.

    Hot glue guns can be found at local craft stores and do not cost a lot. If you don't have one, you can use heavy fillers or something with the same amount of weight. Hot glue guns are easiest, so I recommend that you buy one.
