Phantom Scroller Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 This is the first time I've made a spinning tops in two parts wood and corian that works. I think there's loads of potential on the lathe with these draw a circle on the wood rough cut on the scroll saw then drill the hole size on pillar drill and turn the spindle on the lathe to size of hole in wood disc then glue onto spindle and turn to size a doddle. Might make a few for the show. Here's a link on YouTube to see it in action Roly LarB, Scrappile and lawson56 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Scroller Posted March 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2015 great work there Roly, nicely ballanced too. do you pass the corian right through the wood so it spins on a corian point? Yes Keith I turn the corian down to fit the hole drilled in disc and glue it in place, then turn the corian and disc down to leave a corian point.

wombatie Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Terry turns spinning tops and when he takes them to work they go in a flash and its not for their kids, they say that they relieve the stress. Marg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
