Hello, my name
is Frank Difeo.
I've made my living as a Tool Maker in the machine shop trade since I
graduated from Trade School in 1970 and in 1995 started a small machine shop
aside from my day job.
I always enjoyed making things from metal and especially anything custom or
out of the ordinary.
Sometime in 1999 I became hooked collecting Vintage yoyo's and something
that surprised me at the time when I discovered Aluminum yoyo's ... with ball
bearing axles even !!
I didn't pay particular attention to the metal ones until the economy
slowed around 2001 when work slowed in the shop and I started to tinker making
Aluminum yoyo's.
As the economy continued to slow, I had more time to experiment with yoyo
making.
Well, .. one thing led to another and I started making more yoyo's and
concentrated on improving the way a yoyo functioned.
My
thoughts centered on the string rubbing the sides of the yoyo and concentrated
making a Grooved bearing which led to the Patented Dif-e-yo KonKave bearing to
improve that inherent down side as I saw it.
As
for the different Dif-e-Yo yoyo designs ... I start with an idea and
experiment ... first and foremost concentrating on function, and then
incorporate visual design to compliment function.
Thanks to all that enjoy Dif-e-Yo yoyo's.
Your positive response is Greatly appreciated.
You have made Dif-e-Yo what it is today.
Thanks also for taking time to read this brief History of a person who has
become addicted to yoyo's and I hope to be able to keep making yoyo's for
people to enjoy.
Best Regards, Frank
