Alien Invasion
The Spinning Spaceships here were the subject of the "To Patent or Not?" thread here - http://www.aawforum.org/vbforum/showthread.php?t=3471

They range in sizes and woods, of course. I'll be posting pics of each one over time.


The Fingertip Top & Spinning Vessel Tutorial is located here - http://www.chakajo.com/The%20Fingertip%20Top%20&%20Spinning%20Vessel.pdf
These are nothing but COOL!
They could be the next executive desk top play toy!!!
 
A patent isn't possible because of the variation between each one. I only wanted to protect myself from having someone else stop me from producing.

That's why I wrote the how to article. I'd love it if turners make these little things to their hearts content. Still, that tutorial is the only protection I could come up with.

Kids love 'em, and you're both right about the executive desk toy. That's who I've sold most of them to.

Thanks for the comments.
