1. A wooden stick. Such as acacia, longan, beech, black heart stone and so on.
2. A craft knife.
3.a saw.
4. A piece of friction sand.
5. A screw.
first step
1. Use the circular diameter at the top of the stick to find the center of the circle.
2. According to the thickness of the stick, start cutting at an appropriate distance. When students do it, they must leave a long enough grip to avoid cutting their hands.
3. When cutting, rotate the stick at the same time, so as to master the center of gravity of the gyro and avoid making an eccentric gyro.
4. Grasp the shape of the top when cutting, just like a bullet.
Second step
After the basic shape of the gyro is completed, the gyro can be corrected. The top of the gyro can be cut into the shape of microprotrusions, and then the cut gyro can be sawed off.
2. The sawed gyro is finally repaired with sandpaper. If the center of gravity deviates slightly during cutting, sandpaper can also be used to remedy it.
Step three?
1. Lock the screw on the refurbished gyro and try to see if it can turn, and you're done. If the rotation is not smooth enough, the shape may be asymmetrical, and you can continue to repair it with frosting.
2. If you want to make a sword nail, an axe nail or a needle nail gyro, use an iron nail, and then grind or beat the iron nail into the shape you want in the spirit of "grinding the iron pestle into an embroidery needle".
Playing style of wooden top
1. Rope winding: the nail is placed upward, and the rope is wound counterclockwise from the top of the gyro body, and then tightened in turn.
2. Top of the gyro: Turn the gyro upside down, with the tip of the gyro facing down, hold the whip in one hand and press the gyro vertically with the other.
3. Throw the gyro: press the gyro and leave immediately, while the other whip-holder pulls the whip quickly and forcefully, and the gyro will generate rotating force after whipping.
4. topping: the whip is driven by the arm and moves in a circular motion above the head. You can relax and practice hard. Practice makes perfect.
Playing top is a traditional folk game, which exercises the muscles of the whole body to coordinate their efforts. There are more activities on the shoulders, which are especially beneficial to scapulohumeral periarthritis and cervical vertebra. It seems to be playing, and I have been exercising unconsciously. Every time you whip, your whole body will move.
Maintenance of wooden gyro
Gyroscope should be stored in a cool and ventilated place to avoid sun cracking and damp and mildew. After each use, it is best to brush the gyro with lubricating oil, and butter can be used without lubricating oil. The purpose is to ensure that the gyro itself does not absorb water and does not crack. Generally, cracks will not appear after normal use. If a slight crack (crack less than 3 mm) is found after a period of use, it can be filled with 502, AB glue, super glue or tree finger glue first, and then it can be used normally after drying. ; Iron parts should be oiled and maintained in a timely manner (not too much, so as to avoid easy rope entanglement); If the rope feels hard, it should be soaked in water, washed, beaten (to remove sand and dust) and then dried in the shade.
