Visual based top collections?
« on: October 16, 2012, 04:12:52 PM »

Anybody have a good collection of wooden spin tops on the intertubes that is mostly visual? The closest I'm getting is flickr but not ideal.

Have you seen the spintop pool on flckr? You won't find a larger and better collection anywhere:

If you are looking for videos, you need to watch the Eames movie:

Not exclusively a "wooden" top collection but a super collection filmed in person by Jim.  Unfortunately it is only 5 minutes long.

Amazing collection. Thanks for heads up on this. Way bigger than mine that's for sure.

Hey fellow collectors.

I really thought there was a lack of visually based sites on spint tops out there. Here's a pretty good solution but needs some help. Let me know what you think.

I think it's a good start.
