Toy Top

Making a Wooden Top with a bandsaw, drillpress and a few sanding tools. This toy will be sure to delight young ones just as it must have done many years ago for our grandparents. Project originally designed for junior high shop students. High quality video available from my website CatchMyMemories.com. The weblinks in the video are dead after all these years.

Pretending there are people in the room haha. you can tell he acted out the cut at the end and if there was someone else in charge of the camera they would be capable of taping the top still spinning. Love the way it cuts to the guy having to hold the camera himself :p but really good job i enjoyed this :)

This is probably one of my favourite traditional toys - this one is sometimes called a "fighting top". There's nothing like homemade toys - the kids always keep these long after the plastic stuff has gone. Great job R.

Good video. I love this 'simple' but hugely effective design. You have inspired me to make one myself. Not sure about using those hand tools though - way to much effort for this little Ozzie. I'll be using the router I think!
