This is my best and most fun spinning top - woodturning

In this video I make a special trompo spinning top out of almond wood. I spent many hours on experimenting and designing this top and I think the result speaks on it's own. As far as I am concerned this is my best spinning top from all I have made so far.

Lathe: amzn.to/2yq4bMI
Buffing kit: amzn.to/2yfVjKB

That's a real beauty Dimitris! Super work on the lathe and a very elegant result. I guess we can call you a Master Turner now. Great job all round mate, one of your best.

Thank you my friend. I am really far from "mastery" but I keep learning as I go and each time I feel more comfortable with my tools.

[@lasbrass]

Bravo my friend, fine video again. Spinning tops for ever!!!!!!!

Thank you

[@kishitakacomedymagic]

This is excellent work! I have looked for some wooden trompo, but it is difficult to find one with a hollow structure… If possible, I would like to order this from Japan.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. Yes it is quite difficult to make.

[@brew4380]

Can you describe the pin/nail that you use for the tip? Thanks

[@cyc4ctk92]

What are the finish dimensions and where get the string

[@OldCarsAreFun]

Would it work if you make it this way from metal?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I don't see why it couldn't.

[@OldCarsAreFun]

@@ScrapwoodCity Nice. I am trying to learn cnc g-code. These are fun projects for practice. Only my OD is limited to 40mm, most spinning tops I see look bigger in diameter

Thank you. Send me an email or message on Facebook or Instagram. Greetings from Greece

[@erbakantiftik9397]

Hİ👋👌👍

[@gsmith8234]

the string keeps sliding off the end of the top when I try to wind it.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Try to make the top groove a little larger. You need to make a few prototypes to make it work. I like to keep my best working prototype as a sample.

[@gsmith8234]

@@ScrapwoodCity the top works fine, its down by the nail when I put any tension on the string, the whole coil slides off.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

You don't need too much tension. Still you have to experiment with this side as well until it works easily

[@mohamedseria8214]

why you don't sell your product on your website or any popular one? how I can buy it

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I am not that type of person. I tried before, but not my style!

[@mohamedseria8214]

@@ScrapwoodCity thanks and good luck 👍🏻 I wish you the best

[@cyc4ctk92]

I’ve made these before where did you get the string that you used ?

[@StiloFpv]

Would have liked if you showed dimensions😢👍👍

[@debbiestewart3937]

These are beautiful! Would you ever make them as donations for an inner city school?
