Fiddle Foundry Spinning Top - Hammered Copper

While gambling tops are not designed to spin for a long time (since whatever game you were gambling on would take forever), it is possible to get them spinning up to a minute or two, if desired.

1) Make sure you have a very flat and smooth surface to spin on.

2) Hold the top upright with just your thumb and second finger.

3) Flick your fingers as if you were snapping them. Try not to move any part of your wrist as this will cause the top to tumble over.

4) The faster you can flick your fingers and the more force you can create, the better chances of the top spinning and spinning for longer.

5) After some practice, you'll be spinning on every twist. Have fun!

Steven Robbins began making custom pocket tops in 2013 for his personal enjoyment. In the months that followed he began taking orders from collectors and the "Every Day Carry" community under the name Steven Robbins Fine Pocket Tops. Other products soon followed, all of which blend aesthetics, durability, and practicality beautiful. Each of his products are individually crafted on a manual lathe in Western Massachusetts.
