Making a Spinning Top ASMR

In this mostly ASMR video (there is a brief voiceover intro and outro), I go through my process of turning, texturing, and coloring a spinning top using Robert Sorby Tools. I found this video so relaxing that I thought I would post it without a voice over. I hope that you also find it soothing as well. Let me know in the comments if you would like to see more content like this in the future. I also posted a sped up version of this video on Instagram and TikTok.

Nice one Daryl! Great project, and the coloring and texturing was just phenomenal!
I’ve been wanting a texturing tool for a long time now. I just need to bite the bullet and get one. This video definitely was inspiration!

Great job texturing.

Thank you

[@ManCrafting]

I think if you had whispered the voice over at the beginnings you would have nailed the ASMR. 🤣

[@DreadKnotWoodshop]

good idea

[@thomaswilson3933]

Great job - what type of markers are you using? I tried sharpies but it ruined the tips (only spinning at 100-200 RPM).
Also, what speed do you use the texturing tool at?
Thanks
T

[@DreadKnotWoodshop]

Thanks for watching! I am using Sharpie markers, I point the tips down and use the side of the tips to help make them last. Lathe speed is around 500rpm.

[@aussiman77181]

love these top videos with the sorby tool. . question do you lubricate the mini spiraling texering tool becuse it has no ball bearing do you find i wears the brass the wheel looked very loose as you were useing it ?
Bill

[@DreadKnotWoodshop]

Thank you. On occasion, I will add a few drops of light oil. I do not find that the brass is wearing away. I have used these tools a lot over the course of the last two years.

[@alanhenry7835]

Where did u get the markers from ? And the name of the markers ? Thx Alan

[@Northerngulf]

Thanks for this project. I clicked on your Amazon shop but it looks like it's a bad link.

[@DreadKnotWoodshop]

Thank you for pointing this out. I did correct the link.
