These large Picture Tops are fun to play with and the pictures make then unique. I included seven picture patterns. I also included a blank that you can import into Inkscape and add your own picture.
Here is a link to an older video where I show how to put a picture in a shape using Inkscape.
https://youtu.be/t61SJNfhSxs You may also need this video to learn how to import the Top pattern into Inkscape. https://youtu.be/xLcDsrw1_r0

These tops with your grandchildren's picture will make a fun gift when you finally get to see the kids again after the lockdown.

I made the tops octagon-shaped because new scrollers have an easier time cutting straight lines than they do circles. If you are going to make your own picture tops and want circles just draw the circle in Inkscape and add the picture to it. The hole in the top needs to be very accurately drilled in the middle. I add a center dot to make sure it is centered.

There are a few places where things can go wrong with this simple project. Things need to be accurate to get a smooth spin. Follow the instructions in the pattern if you have trouble.

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
