Woodturning Top With Spin Platform and Box

Hazelnut Top and Box

Best viewed by enabling the video above. In case of difficulty, this is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.

Why turn a top by itself. When spinning, a top is fun and colorful. But, when not spinning, it just lays around looking weird.

Why not make the top the lid to a small box? Now it can look nice and a small treat be inside.

A bonus. When the box is inverted, it is a platform for a spinning performance.

I first saw this project turned by Eli Avisera.

Enjoy!

    Hi Alan,
    A suggestion for the ornament challenge: try OneWay in Stratford Ontario. I hope they will support the challenge.
    Thanks for the Top and box video….
