I make lots of spinning tops and have a slightly dished plastic plate to spin them on which is great.

Wouldn't spinning it on the lathe to part it off tell you whether or not it whistles?

Spinning in wrong direction maybe? Sometimes the holes need to be angled just a little off so the wind wont go in when its going wrong direction?

Oh wow! These are amazing! Do you think they might still whistle if they were let's say 1/3 the size?

Sorry...I meant to ask what you used at @23:18 to make the lines in the top. That line or cord thingy?

That is a piece of metal guitar string. You can also use a piece of thin electrical wire . CAUTION : do not hold the wire in your hand , wrap it around a dowel or stick on each end. look up wire burning or burning lines for wood turning.

Whistling top, you say make the hole at "A bit of an angle" can you be more procise as I think getting this wrong will mean it will not whistle

Patrick, It's mostly trial and error . I start out at about a 30 degree angle then adjust from there .Don't give up I have a pile of whistling tops that just spin and refuse to whistle
