How to make a vintage trompo spinning top - woodturning

 
























Tools and materials I propose:

Lathe

Buffing kit

Wood turning tools set

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Wire Burning Kit


In this video I make a string powered spinning top called trompo out of beech wood.


I begun by mounting the piece between centres on the lathe and turned it true with a roughing gouge. 


I then used the skew to create a tenon for the chuck. 


Then I shaped my top using mostly the skew. 


I also added three decorative lines with the wire burning tool. 


I then drilled a hole and added a nail on one end of the top. 


Then I used a file to shape the tip. 


Next I parted the top off the lathe.


I polished the top on my buffing kit with carnauba wax. 


I made this top as a decorative piece. You can find several YouTube videos on line on how to spin this top. 


I am really happy with the way my top came out. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
