I’m certainly no expert, but wouldn’t the spinner be the bottom?
Anyone into spinning tops?
Re: Anyone into spinning tops?
The only female spinners I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing were 90lbs and always on top.

Re: Anyone into spinning tops?
Regretfully opened this thread. Got a billetspin top. Pretty cool. Didn’t realize how low the center of gravity was. Hard to get a good spin. Half the time it ends up breakdancing.
What kind of base do you have in your first post?

Re: Anyone into spinning tops?
Missed this.
The large base is from Drphil Gandini (FB and Insta) and will actually be put up for sale soon. It's a $300 base, and i have (i think) three lenses for it at $50 each from Bruce Charles: https://www.brucecharlesdesigns.com/blo ... -available If you're interested i'll give you a great deal.
Bruce also sells bases.
The other blown glass bases are from Derek at DB flame works: https://dbflameworks.bigcartel.com/ He uses borosilicate glass like the old pyrex we grew up with... it's hard in the 6.5 MOH scale, unlike conventional glass

A new station from George Sherwood which will utilize 75mm concave scientific lenses from amazon.
I procured a nicely decorated (unworking salvage) Hamilton pocket watch movement, he surrounded it in fordite, and wrapped it all in ambrosia spalted maple, which will patina nicely:

And the American waltham watch Co movement in Redwood burl. This time to display the dial on the back end, which can also accept a 75mm concave scientific lens:
