Woodturning a Dreidl

[@mpart_woodlathe-stuff]

Nice tool work Heather; especially like the lettering . Your always so brave ! Thanks for sharing. Take care. -Mike

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Mike! It's not much different than turning a top. It just has to be really square, for balance!

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Nicely done. I do admire your willingness to dive right in to what ever the project is. Way to go.

[@spiritwynd]

Thank you! I'm always up for a challenge

You always have such original ideas Heather. Never heard of this game.
And your burning skills are certainly better than mine!
Cheers! 😎

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Leo! Not really original, just new for me. This game was first documented back in 1890!
I still haven't perfected the spin to land on the flat side. I probably have to make it a bit more topheavy

I think dreidels need to be taller - this gives them more mass at the top to make them fall onto their sides when they stop. Great work though, especially the pyrography.

[@spiritwynd]

Thanks Jim! That's exactly what I was thinking!

[@jimhyslop]

@@spiritwynd I just finished turning a few dreidels, and I've found that the angle of the cone tip is also important. You can get away with shorter bodies if the angle is 90 degrees or less.

Thanks Jim! I'll remember that for next time!
