How To Turn a Tippy Top with Dennis Fuge of The NJ Woodturners

Dennis shows us how tl make a top that once spun, turns itself over and turns on it's handle. Always fun to play with tops and especially hang out with our woodturning brothers!

Have watched other videos about these tops. This is the best!

Thanks, I’ll let Dennis know.

This is so cool, Dennis is very talented. I will try this today!

[@BobAmarant]

Please do

Great job 👏 have to make some of these!!!

[@BobAmarant]

Thanks Tim. Can’t wait to see your version.

[@robertsheppard9430]

Very nice. I have to make some of them when I get home.

[@BobAmarant]

Agree. This was a good lesson.

[@ValentinaFaussone]

The explanations here seem very clear. I think I will try. I was a bit overwhelmed by other videos

[@deonbreytenbach]

Awesome. Will any permanent marker work? I don't think we have sharpies in South Africa

[@BobAmarant]

Have to try them

Congratulate the turner. Fire the cameraman. The turning is excellent and the commentary is top notch. 👍👍This would have been so much more enjoyable if the camera operator had use a fixed camera base or tripod of some sort. The camera movement almost made the video unwatchable. 👎👎Still, thank you for sharing. 😀😀I think I got enough out of this to be able to do one of my own. The dimensions used are very instructive. 👍👍Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Thanks for the constructive feedback, it's the first time I've heard this one. Have fun with your top making. :-)

I've never used a roughing gouge like that and probably never will. Wouldn't a peeling cut with a skew be easier?

[@BobAmarant]

Agree. I would have used a skew or Bedan but to each their own. Thanks for visiting .

The project is great, however I am astounded that you wear a watch while operating a lathe. It comes awfully close to the chuck. Promoting such a practice is not good.
