Dear Neff,
Whip tops? PVC pipes? Are you suggesting you made those large spin tops out of pvc pipe? How in the world do you do this? Do you use a hairdryer to make the pvc malleable and then shape it? That sounds really cool!
Thank you very much for sharing. That looks like a LOT of money on that floor. I can't help but think about how much money in top form is on that floor, and yet... If someone broke in, they would probably just think you are weird, and would probably try to take your tv instead. I just bought a Strummol8 Sofia spintop. When I tell my mother how much it costs, she will rip out my sideburns
. I reallly do find it strange how people are surprised by how expensive tops can be. No one finds a 1,200$ guitar to be unreasonable, but a 20$ spintop? To most people, from my experience, it seems ludicrous.
What kinds of comments have you recieved on your spintops from non-spinners? I bet they think you are crazy (everyone here has to be just a little bit off center, some more than others @_@
). I find your collection at this point to be historical, and find it strange/sad how well documented the history of war is.. But, never anything else.. I think tops are cooler than guns and swords anyway. I like your arsenal!
What about everyone else? What kinds of commends do you recieve for your collections (no matter how small) from non spinners? Most people didn't think a "bearing" spin top is even possible. Most people think an under the leg boomerang and a merry go round is literally some kind of sorcery.
Thanks again!
