This is a spinning top kit from Turners Warehouse. I can't for the life of me figure out what the ball bearing does. The blank was cast by my friend Dennis. I love the looks of the blank. I've made several tops in the past, but this is the first one I turned from acrylic. It's more balanced than wood, of course, but I think I made it too big. It's very heavy, and difficult to get it to spin fast. I'm going to make a second smaller one, and see how it spins. I had trouble with the video, but you get the idea. I polished it with 220-600 wet; Micro Mesh wet; Meguiar's 105, 205, 9, and 10.
