Thanks mate but paddy does not care at all, he will happily break ice to go for a swim and at 13 you think he would know better.

Harvestman, what are they? Are they those things that you put string around and twist? I love those we call them ''tol'' here.

 

[Harvestman]

We call them spinning tops. Just spin with the fingers, although string works too. Coated with food safe oil as they will be gifts for younger children.

The oak one is a bit wobbly, the acacia one broke off the lathe before I was ready for it so the finish isn't so good on that one, but the apple top spins really well and is stable for a long time.

The ones we use here have a hole in the top of the spindle into which a rod of wood is inserted, when the string is pulled your other hand is supporting the top by holding the rod and once the string has done its job the rod is pulled out leaving the top to spin. My daughter has one which can spin for many minutes.

Been trying to get the hang of how to work my new camera and tried it out with my (home-made) light box and some arrowheads I knapped from the bottom of beer bottles - which reminds me - I need to do some more...... where's that beer???

Beautiful photo. many are amazed at the egyptians building the great pyramids without modern technology but I'm even more amazed by theses. The Mayans and Aztecs didn't even have metal tools!
