Brilliant pair of Spinning Tops & what a clever use of the brass nail. Your work on the lathe amazes me & with the banter with your video lady is SO good & helps the general tone & presentation of your videos. You should perhaps feature her a bit more from time to time. Excellent video, cheers, Don from South Australia.

Amazes me how fast you move great work

My day is complete..... You have launched another video.

It is always a pleasure to see you working on the lathe. Thanks to Lies as well for the camerawork. I am still smiling and my grandchildren will have fun too in the next weeks. Great ideas for nice gifts. Egbert from Germany

Grandchildren!?! 😂. Not for s long time! 😂😂😂. But it is great to see another video from you guys! And easy to try it out myself. A very good tip with the brass nail! Many thanks for sharing!

Me at 22 making wooden tops for my grandchildren 😮 I am making these on my Jet lathe but it might be a few decades before my grandkids are born and the tops come off the shelf.

Nice Ronald, the whole group of the Haarlemmermeer department turns this spinning top last Friday with great pleasure and humor.

Welcome back. Sure do like to listen to your commentary as you work. My great grandkids will love tops. Thanks

New sub. All woodturners are old? Well true, but no grand children yet. I do love making tops! Very cool ideas for more types of tops. I have never seen the egg launcher!

My grandchildren are too old for these toys and I may not live long enough to see my great-grandchildren but I love your presentations. I had a fantastic holiday in Holland many years ago and fell in love with the country, the language and the culture. Keep producing these videos.

Perfect end to a busy day, Ronald and the amazing camera lady 😊 amazing thank you / bedankje , i think 😂

How have I just now stumbled upon your channel? Years of turning and more of studying turning on KZfaq and I finally discover your work. Ronald, your video production quality is outstanding (be certain to credit your videographer) and your turning skill is top. Then you put your comfortable nature in front of the camera. I look forward to learning from your existing and future videos. And I think that top for my nine year old daughter is next on the lathe.

I have made hundreds of spinning tops, but have never seen the ones that you have made. Very nice work. I will have to watch the video a few times to get it right. My children use markers to colour their tops. Take care and stay safe: from Petawawa, Ontario, Canada.

I see you are using the Eastern European style skew... With the tapered tool. I have two that Crown released a few years ago but would LOVE see more on its use... Especially from someone like yourself. Is that possible?? Also.... Reifendrehen?? Ever done much? Thanks again.

I don't have any grandchildren yet, my only (child) daughter is getting married in November (2023) so I think I'll make a couple of tops for the future (just in case). But first I've got to make a ring box for the wedding, as I'm only a beginner at the lathe a good suction fit will have to do. Love watching you turn, I am learning so much. Thank you.

Great fun and I made "eggs" today!

Great video. My grandchildren are definitely getting spin tops for Christmas. I just had my oak tree cut down so that should work well for boxes and spin tops. I am from Saskatchewan but was born in Schiedam

I've never seen the egg one before. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent, these are seemingly simple projects that you make so easily and you are showing us how to use various tools. Perfect teaching. Kudos also for the excellent videography, an art also. I like that she captures your technique and often your concentration and focus. Some time we should get a glimpse of the videographer too. Thanks again from a novice turner in Deleware, USA

Great to see you again.

Another great video. Thank you!

Fun simple project. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Absolutely brilliant presentation!

Very good, great project, and as you mentioned, great way to practise skills. Thanks for sharing Ronald.

Just fascinating……..right up there with the salt sprinkler. Thank you so much. Take care and be well

Very nice thanks for the time and effort

Very cool projects 👍

Thanks for the fun video. I find your videos to be very relaxing, entertaining and a real joy to watch. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill. A big fan from Canada. Take care and stay safe!

Hi have you had a go at macking a humming or a wissling top yet I tryed once but had troubel doing the hillow part so shelved the ider so think of it as a chalange my good man have fun .keep on turning and Iwill keep watching .

Enjoy your cheerleader, and your accent, and your skill, and your time! If you come the USA, you gotta come see me!

Thanks form the reply Ronald. I also have a Camvac with a 4inch hose inlet, I was concerned that the Loc Line, that I believe is 2.5 inches inlet, would restrict the airflow and reduce the efficiency.

I really enjoy your videos ... great fun, and a treat to watch such a highly skilled turner!

Eggsited…. To go turn some eggs. Thanks 😂

My granddaughter is too young to play with a top but I will make some to keep in stock. I noticed you have the poseable dust collector, is it effective and which dust extractor do you have?

Do you prefer your American Beauty over your Oneway? I am trying to decide which one to buy.

Ik ben gefascineerd over deze kunde. Ooit heb ik me opgegeven voor een draai cursus, maar helaas had Corona roet in het eten gegooid. Daarna nooit meer iets van gekomen. Wordt misschien toch wel weer eens tijd om dit op te pakken....

Nice chunk of wood but most of finishing up on the floor. What a waste !
