the string slips into a hole in the top and when pulled comes loose. the thing spins real good. i drove an apolstry tack in the point so as not to bang up the wood when it spins.

nope sorry. no plans but search tops on the net and pictures will explain a lot. i got this idea from a friend who was playing with one like it with his grandson. just two pieces of wood and a string.:-D

I just happen to have an exclusive Eyewitness Report ;-)
Danged top spins longer than any I've ever seen 8-O
I think the brass tip on bottom is the secret . . . and it will take 100 years to wear it out
