I updated the Rascals page on the top wiki.  I still have to get back to it with photos once I find my rascals, but most of the info is there.

GREAT contribution Mark!  Thank you!

I'm not sure how to work on Wiki, but here is a picture of some of my Rascals.... I think I got them from Mark Hayward way back when.  If anyone is interested I have quite a few.  Only one in the package, so that is not available.  I will try to scan the instructions to post later?

Yes, I AM interested. I know several here who also have a few (Mike and Mark himself) but I have not been able to pry any away from them . . .

yes! i have no rascal!  well i have a plastic rascal... i think that is a starter kit for the
manly, rusty rascals you guys throw.

You remembered correctly Don, you got them from me.  I made sure that the few collectors that I knew at that time got a good assortment of Rascals including the few that I had in the package.

Say mark, do you know the dimensions of the Rascal?........It's time to make some wooden ones!

I have been meaning to make one for a while now. I wasn't sure quite how. I figured it out today.

It is made from osage orange and spins very well. I didn't have one to copy from since Mark wouldn't let go of any of his. I just eye balled it.

Thanks Jim,

It is 4.7 cm high, 3.2 cm dia and 2 mm thick.

Looks like I was very close just from my eyes.

I am puzzled how you did it.
A beautiful rascal.

If I were doing it,  I'd chuck the piece, hollow out the cone, shape the outside to match, and part off.  I'm sure Alan will let us know his method.

Mark..I seem to remember a video of you guys spinning a lot of these but I can't seem to find it (searching rascal turns up a lot of unrelated hits).  Do you have a link to that?
