Easy Woodturning Projects Episode 3 / Spinning Tops

This video is a tutorial on how to make spinning tops using woodturning on a wood lathe. It's meant to give you some ideas for basic shapes, colors, and textures, and designs and let you try making your own spinning tops from wood. The wood selection is an important thing to consider as you begin. You want a dense closed grain hardwood like maple, cherry, or beech. I chose eastern hard maple because its light in color, and that will help me color it later. First mount your wood blank between centers and turn a tenon on the end to mount it into your chuck jaws. Then proceed to round the blank on the wood lathe using a spindle roughing gauge. Next we are ready to shape the wood. Using a spindle gauge, start making small passes near the end and bring it down to a point. This the point that we will spin the top on. Remove wood in a series of passes like you are making a cove in the wood to start to get rid of material for the handle you spin the top with. When you are thin enough you can then apply colors and textures. Then the only thing to do is work it down removing a little more wood to part off your piece. I hope that this video gives you a new project to try and some new ways to color and texture. Here are some products that I've found that I hope can be useful to you and your woodturning.
