Please read everything before posting!!
Let’s have some fun. Here is your chance to be a designer. Reply to this post with your top idea. Preferably with a pic. You can only submit ONE idea. This means only one reply to the main post.
This is complicated so read carefully. I don’t want any “sub” replies until Sunday night when I say so. At that point I will reply and not allow any new entries after that. Also at that point I want everyone to “sub” reply to their favorite idea. You only get one vote. Your reply can just say “yes”
The person that gets the most replies will be the head designer in their top that I will make and name after them. That person will also get a free top. If the idea is really crazy I will have to put a rough price on it before the voting begins so people know how much they would have to pay for it. Stay away from exotic materials smile emoticon DO NOT reply to this thread with questions. I will start another post for that.
You can edit your entry until the deadline on Sunday night! Good luck!!
For those entering the design contest. Remember and pockets get milled out with a round tool. You cannot have any sharp inside corners. Please look at all my tops and see what I am talking about. This is the biggest issue non-machinist don’t understand. It needs to be allowed for in your design. So I you want a car rim you better really look close at my previous tops to see what is possible!

I don't have picture, but have a vision in my head. I mentioned it before on FB. its A 2 face top. It should have balls on both sides of the stem and body could have 2 different designs one on top and one on the bottom. The body on the stem should be able to move back and forward to a certain degree. Could be couple options here. You push stem to the body until it locks somehow or make body and stem so that if you spin it upside down it would slowly go down the stem as the gap between body and stem would be microns so it will slid very slowly......

A top with a Bayonet mounted stem that could be removed and the top carried and spun as a coin spinner.

I was a big fan of the k2 , the wraith, and the Mirical. So it would have an outer disk with six raised lines to the center, in between each would be set of "teeth". The inner disk would have spikes that rise up through the six lines and fins ,like the Pandora, on the outer most part of the disk. The stem would be milled with a disco ball like pattern up the stem until it reaches a grippy knurl. I would love to see this with some exotics but I can see this with looking great with Bronze and stainless. Size wise would like to see 1.5 through 1.2 inches in diameter. Maybe add the whistle stem, the outer disk design would be a zigzag like the aperture outer. Under the inner disk would be the standard ripples seen in older tops.

I’m a big fan of tritium, so i would love to see a top with blue and green tritium in a design like the miracle. With its shape and the tritium light it would look awesome like an U.F.O.
