Fighting Tops

Jan Mussler (mussler@SPOT.COLORADO.EDU)
Thu, 6 Feb 1997 14:13:48 -0700


The Cub Scout How-To Book mentions some Top Tournaments. I find tops
intriguing (saw them in some kids movie). Does anyone have directions on
how to make tops? I would think to buy fighting tops would be expensive
but "in the old days" these were homemade affairs, I believe. Possibly a
whitting' chip project?

I found some probably oriental made tops at a local expensive toy store
for $3 each, but they are not the right shape though they are terrific
tops as far as spinning a long time. No string. Can anyone help me with
this curiousity?
