Precision machined spinning tops...the latest trend!

[AndreaW]

I received shipping notification for my Infinity a mere 3 hours after I ordered it during the launch. That was crazy fast.

I think the exotics were made first.

I don't know if I'm more excited to get my W/Al top or my 4" K9 spin base.

Welcome to the forum...

Very nice, I see some vintage billetspins in there, you must have been at this for a while...

What got you into it in the first place?

My very first top was from Amber Rix's Kickstarter. I found Rich's Kickstarter some time after that, when it was already over. At that point, I looked for ways to contact him to see if he had any PVDs left that I could buy. He did, and I joined his Facebook group after that. Now I'm up to 70+ tops. You might recognize me (Andrea Whitlock) in the PTT and BilletSPIN groups.

I wear prescription glasses so no Oakley gear for me. I wish I was a good candidate for lasic but I'm not. Bummer.

Your wall display stands, are they complete customs, a mod of something stock, or something you bought as-is?

They are golf ball display racks from this etsy shop:

I asked the owner to make me a couple with smaller holes (3/8"). Worked out really well for displaying my tops.
