Ball Bearing Spinning Top Kit (10mm)
Description
Just spin these with your fingers and watch them go! Our exclusive ball bearing design allows the top to behave like a gyroscope - it will spin on any surface - kids of all ages will love playing with it. Since it is turned on a mandrel, (like a pen) it spins with precision and is easy to make. Finished size is about 2-1/4" dia x 4" high (10mm tube) R

Spinning Top
Review by Mark T. on 29 Mar 2024 review stating Spinning Top
Extremely simple to make the body and assemble. Reviews suggested using a larger diameter body than what the instructions called for so I went with four inch box elder.

Great design.
Review by Joseph S. on 20 May 2023 review stating Great design.
Exceptional value. Precision made. The only change needed is with the instructions which suggest tying knots at both ends of the string. Instead, leave the end wrapped around the top's spindle unknotted so that the string is pulled free and the top can spin without an attached string.

Good quality, a little issue with the instructions
Review by Brett H. on 23 Dec 2022 review stating Good quality, a little issue with the instructions
I like the looks and quality of this top kit very much and it was easy to assemble. However, after I finished it and tried it, it does not spin more than a couple of seconds before falling over. If someone knows the trick to it I love to hear it. Although reading one of the comments, unfortunately after I completed it, he said to make the body much larger in diameter that 2-1/4? to 2-1/2? and then it spins much better. Mine is only 2-1/2??.but it does make an interesting christmas tree ornament.

A great kit once you experiment a lot.
Review by James H. on 28 May 2020 review stating A great kit once you experiment a lot.
I have made 6 (successful) to 12 (total) tops so far. The hardware is perfect. no question. But you aren't just going to slap together some wood into a 3+ inch x 1.5 inch black and make a top.
1. You need a blank with extremely consistent density. I tried Kingwood because it was very dense and i had a large slab of it. but its density is crazily inconsistent and 3 tops would not spin worth a darn. I had early success with osage orange which is dense and very consistent
2. despite what the instructions indicate a diameter of 2 1/2 inches, I make my tops 4 to 4 1/2 inches! massive tops work better.
3. Corian is the key to good tops. I can make a 2 1/2 inch Corian top that will work well because it is dense and consistent.

Well made easy to assemble. Wish they were made a little taller. I cast Alumilite resin for the bodies. This let me use different fillers. Cholla cactus, pine cones, pistachio nut hulls, and Magnolia seed pods. Kids and adults love them great stocking stuffers.
