The Dropping Top (4K)

Visit Tim's Toy Shop, at www.grand-illusions.com/
_______________________________________________________________________
This unusual and very beautiful dropping top is hand made from Sandarac wood and African Blackwood. A dropping top has an unusual method of being launched. The string (supplied) loops around the wooden cleat at the top, and is given an initial twist. You then suspend the top from the string, pulling the ends apart in order to make the top spin faster, and moving your hands together before the string has completely unwound. Once you have done this a couple of times, and the top is spinning sufficiently fast, you then move your hands apart, and the top will be released from the string and will land, still spinning, on the table. See the video for a full demonstration.
Hand made to a very high standard of craftsmanship, this top is made from two unusual woods, Sandarac Burl and African Blackwood.
The top is 85mm in diameter.
Made in Germany
Supplied complete with string.

[@robbieliddle2462]

Loving the new 2024 intro!
I'm noticing the audio seems to be focusing a bit on the left ear though and may need balancing. Much love to Tim and the grand illusions team!

[@oledevo]

Oh my!

[@williamrobinson7435]

Beautiful! I'd like to make one of these, from burr walnut for the main body, with a central section from lignum vitae (the heaviest wood in the world), drilled and filled at 5 points to adjust for accuracy around the edge and with a steel point at the bottom (rotation foot).. That'd REALLY go..
Oh for a pillar drill and a high speed lathe!!
Nice one Tim. ⭐👍

[@FrankBenlin]

The dropping top won't be turned off by the
Suits in charge of the world and our
Future's hanging on by a thread
With our heads in the sand
The dropping top won't be turned off by the
Gods up above us, big sky country
That we never hear from in these
Time of our dying needs

[@lunamagnoliid8984]
