A spin top! I love it!
Nice job on the wood turning. They look beautiful.
Are you using standard wall stainless steel tubing now? Will 5/16" tubing fit inside of your 3/8" tubing?
That is quite a tube collection Vito. Pretty much all the variations I have made over the last year. Glad you are enjoying the original.
It was this time last year that I first created my first Toasty Top. A few changes since then.
The tube on the right side is my new Turbo Tube. It was inspired...
That thing must have some serious back pressure and a good seal. Good to hear you didn't waste much. I will try to make you something that will carb a little easier.
Congratulations on the new glass PurpleDazed! Lets see if we can fix you up with something fit that thing. Hope you haven't lost too much ABV that way. May have to keep inhaling until you carb so it won't do that.
Vito! Thanks for the amazing video! I love it. Nice to see Buster in the video...
Holy Cow Ed! Those dugouts are insane. Really love the turquoise in the Buckeye Burl.
The tokes are really pretty too. Just need to find a way to vaporize with them. What size is the hole?
Thanks for showing us your heater design Dave. Your transparency is commendable. Too bad we can't get our nations leaders to do the same.
I have already modified your heat sink design and reassembled it with one of my thread in heating elements from the bottom. It is a Toasty Dog or maybe an...
That was probably my fault PurpleDazed. Think I gave you a spare screen in the storage tube and it must have found it's way into the roasting tip during the trip.
Glad to hear you are getting good airflow again. That is so important.
Have been enjoying the airflow of the U-Tubes on my new UD...
I have been trying to count the number of hits I'm getting from a load, but always loose track. I'm not sure it is possible to count them. Has any Dog owner had luck counting the number of hits you get from a tube?
I do have one complaint about the UnderDogs tubes. It takes too many hits to finish one. Even with a small amount, you just keep getting hits. It is crazy. It seems to work best not to stir at all. Just a light tap on the side while holding the tube vertical gives it all the shaking it needs...
So Dave and I decided to trade devices. He sent me a Myrtle wood log as I prefer a device with no glue joints. I hope it will be capable of 24/7 operation. I really like that feature in this style of vaporizer because we all forget at times. The Myrtle wood has amazing figuring and depth. Such a...
Thanks for posting the photos and discoveries Vito. Thank you also for accepting the TT into your home and life. You have many fine medication delivery devices and I'm happy to have provided one of them.
I'm glad you are adventurous enough to try some new tip configurations. I am always seeking...
I bought one of those 5 amp hour 12 volt sealed batteries for the "power wheel" type toys and have powered my TT for 3 to 4 hours. The weight is a bit more than with more compact batteries, but the price was not that bad. It fits fine in a backpack. Just need an appropriately long cord with a...
That Black Satin is a beauty cluffy. You can never have too many vapes. Hope you can add a TT some day.
Glad to hear you purchased a Trompo Grande. They play very well. Lots of videos out there and a few forums to teach you new tricks. You will have fun.
Unfortunately, I do live a long way from...
I do need to get some little tops made. Thanks for the reminder mom. I have some other special tops that I make. I will post some photos when I have some for sale.
Here is a photo of my cardboard clubs. They are coated in plasti-dip to make them water resistant and more durable. There is a hole...
Ha! Yes. That is me. Not too many Alan's making handmade wooden tops. It has been a hobby for many years. I got into them through juggling. Saw a friend throw and then catch the top spinning on his hand and I was instantly hooked. Couldn't find many places to buy, so I made my own. My...
It really is amazing what can be done with spin tops.
Today is actually International Top Spinning Day believe it or not.
International Top Spinning Day
Happy spinning!
Thanks VaporNation. I aspire to inspire. I like to see the best in people. No reason why we can't just help each other. Much more fun that way. A good friend of mine started turning after purchasing one of my tops. Amazing the things he is making now.
placetime - can you clarify multi-piece tops?
Hey Rick - Have you retrofit any of your old square Zaps? That would be too cool.
You could also make PentaZaps, HexaZaps, and OctoZaps. I'm really just trying to tire you out so you will slow down a bit. lol
I like it havock69. You can slide the silicone ring down until it stops at the top of the glass joint. That would add stability. I have been cutting silicone rings for my Poly Toasty Tubes so that they fit into a 14mm joint. Looks like I have another size of silicone tubing to buy for the...
