watts top #297
« on: September 04, 2014, 09:47:14 PM »

well i got my first watts top last week i think it was and gentlemen .....i am hooked, love it love it love it. its #297 and shes 4'' of solid perfection. i was floored by the weight of this thing, it weighs in at 13.16 OZ.which doesnt sound like much until you get that thing on the end of your string or in this case rope @-@, mr watts says its cherry but i tell you it feels like solid lead @-@, im tellin you right now if u dont have a watts u dont know what ur missing, thing is so good i ordered me another hopefully be here next week. anyhow heres a quick vid i shot tday with it, im no Hrosik but i still had blast  ;D

When you get a 5" top, the 4 incher will feel light. And wait until you get a 8 incher Watts like the one I got from Don!

I think the 4 incher is ideal for play. Enjoy it!

Nice but there is nothing like making your own. You made some nice tops. Make the next one hallow and you will love it to. When I get my new glasses maybe then I can regenerate like the pros. For the price you can't beat a Watt's top.

thanks cecil, yup i know ive been looking at my tops recently and im gonna try making a playable tip for my 5 1/2'' and then move on from there, i think tips are really whats my issue at the moment i think once i figure out the manufacture of those ill be good to go, at the moment its my lathe thats keeping me back because the head and tail stock arent aligned exactly and theres no lateral adjustment so i must pull a macgyver on this tip making business  :o

Congratulations on your two new tops!
I have 315 the other hollow 4" top. It plays great and has a special place in my heart for I made my first lassos and roller coasters to string with it.
Mine already has a few battle scars on it.  ;D

When you hallow a top like this it looks like a flower vase. It's better to make a top like two bowls then glue together. It's also a pain in the but.
