jig i made for easy gripping for turning the bottom side in the background.

Careful you don’t go too deep.
How complex is the idea?
Not the CNC tops I was expecting.
Would you collet a top holder?
Those are really nice. How do they spin?
I got a knock-off of a fancy top from Amazon and it’s kinda tricky to get it going good without sending it flying off my desk. I would not quite call it a game of skill… but it’s not the meditative fidget I was hoping for.
Im bad at english machining words so i dont know exaclty what the top question means oof.
the aluminum one spins nicely, the brass one is too heavy to get it going.
I made the long side first cutting the top from a rod, then the second side i used that jig (the angle of the top side matches the top) and a collet stop to make the bottom side.
Sorry, it’s a really bad play on words based on the pronunciation of collet being similar to the phrase ‘call it’.
Very nice work. It’s a shame the brass top didn’t work out… perhaps a pull-cord?
