As a child I had a top like this and I adored the sounds it made and played with it constantly - it mysteriously disappeared one day! I like this build a lot, especially the taper on the handle. Great job Dimitris; thanks for being the most consistently enjoyable channel on RUclips.
Dude, I had a similar experience. I got one from a fieldtrip from my childhood. They were from and indigenous people called Aeta/Ita. They are very good with their hands and that top blew my young mind back then, it still does when I think about it. I would love to get one of those tops again.

How did you know in advance that it would whistle? Does it work with one or three holes? How do you determine the wall thickness for the whistle? Or does any cavity with a hole that air moves past make a sound?
Thanks for such an interesting and thorough video! Is there any reason for the multiple holes? As far as I understand having more holes would make the pitch higher, and only one should be necessary to create a tone, but perhaps it's more likely that one will sound if there is more than one. And have you tried multiple chambers to make chords?
Thank you. I guess your questions are pretty logical and would be really cool to experiment on them. I just went for the two wholes so I could keep things more balanced and symmetrical. I think symmetry works better with spinning tops most times.
@@ScrapwoodCity That makes sense! I must try find some more examples and experiment myself - I think there could be some interesting musical/sound effects to be had, thanks once again.
I think I will make one but use pex water pipe in the handle as a bushing to reduce friction while pulling the string. It works good on toy cars so the axle turns better and pex is cheap.
Cut the stem off 3/8" from top of handle , it will wobble less , when turning and sanding , especially resinous woods like pines , cedar , yew and exotics , wear an M -95 dust mask to protect you lungs , and wear a face shield , the ends of the handles can be tapered with a 3/8" spindle detail gouge , and linseed , and Danish oil finishes penetrate and harden , and a bees wax , mineral oil paste gives a more durable finish , and is a child safe , edible finish , and a dust extractor helps keep fine dust from becoming airborne
For your next build , lay out your design , lay out the vent holes to be in the center of rim , with less thickness, with more taper to base of spindle , and the tip . Add some color , with brush tip markers , add some details with a chatter tool , or a Sorby Decorating Elf tool . If you are turning the handle , joint the edges and omit planing the faces , they will get turned off anyway . Use a dense hardwood for the spinning tip and use the heel of skew when tapering with planing cuts , less chance of a catch

You are the tops...

Thank you for the nice words

Wow, thanks man, that was a really awesome comment! :)

complicated built and very nice result. συγχαρητηρια μαστορα
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ
Awesome. Best video I've seen for whistling tops. Thanks.
Thank you very much
Very Cool Project!
Thank you
How did you know in advance that it would whistle? Does it work with one or three holes? How do you determine the wall thickness for the whistle? Or does any cavity with a hole that air moves past make a sound?
Another great simple toy that bring back many memories. Defiantly put this one on the to do list
Thank you
Thats awesome - thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching and commenting
Is the size of the holes and the location of the holes from the end of importance? I can see where the 45 degrees is important to catch the air
nice build. i like spining tops a lot. is it possibl eto make one without a lathe?
Yes it is, although it won't be as balanced as the one coming from a lathe
@@ScrapwoodCity would you make one for us to see? =D
Why not. Perhaps I will at some point.

Good video. Would love to see some plans with dimensions, etc.
Thank you. At some point I might make a pdf with plans and basic dimensions.
Where can I buy this whistling spinning top 😍😍😍😍😍
Do you have a website where you sell your spinning whistling tops 😍😍😍😍
Unfortunately I don't

Nice
