"Hey Chris!

Just wanted to reach out to let you know I received the cigar punch last week, and am very pleased with it. Beautiful work, perfect functionality, and fits my (perhaps too extensive) collection of brass accessories seamlessly.

Thanks a lot!

"Dear Chris

When I was a small boy we used to play the game with my grandmother

I found it to be really exciting. A few weeks back a song reminded me of those times. ( teddy bears picnic ) and I wondered what ever became of her put n take. Searched Amazon and there you were.

What a beautifully piece of crafted engineering you have created.

Many thanks indeed.

All the best"

"Hi Chris,

I ordered one of your Bronze flat top 1.5” diameter spin tops, don’t normally leave reviews for anything but for something so small it’s amazing. Incredible satisfying and calming especially when work gets stressful - 

Your craftsmanship’s fantastic and I love the weight and the gnarling on the outer edge, 

Keep up the amazing work,"

Sam

"I just want to 'personally' thank You for the lovely Bomber Begleri I received today.

They really are great pieces of machining and the packaging is great, as well - with all the extra cords, the sticker, the pouch, etc.

The Begleri definitely weren't my last purchase from Butterfield Machine (I am especially dallying over some of Your gorgeous tops)!

Keep up the good work!

With the very best regards"

"Just got my buffalo flattop today and I am super impressed. My first spin time was 11:20.5! This thing is awesome thanks again!"

David

"Hey Chris, 

I just wanted to take a minute and let you know how great the products were that I received this week. The craftsmanship is amazing, the coins are beautiful, and the spin time is incredible. I didn't have a remote interest in a top of any sort until seeing the Copper Buffalo Nickel. My longest spin has been 12:48! I'm very glad I decided to place an order, though. Everyone I've shown has really marveled at the engineering and good looks of the two pieces. I'm looking forward to hanging on these for a long while, and maybe ordering more in the future as gifts. Do you have any plans on creating a hand spinner or anything like the Torq bar? I'll keep an eye out for other interesting pieces you make.  

Thanks again, I really appreciate it."

"Chris did a fabulous job with my custom order! The tops and begleri are beautiful, and are beautifully-packaged. Chris answered all of my questions, updated me frequently during the process, produced my items in a timely fashion (earlier than I had expected!), and packed them securely. Thank you, Chris, for making every aspect of this purchase a positive experience. :D"

"Happy days, I got my stuff!! It spins beautifully, and is the envy of all. Glad I participated, and you should continue to do such things, you are great! Thank you for a great escape."

Dionna

"My flattop just arrived - astonishingly fine top! Multi-minute spins every time! Excellent work, Chris!"

Jim

"Received my tops today...great quality! I only wish I had ordered more!"

Chris

"I think I really need to compliment you on how well this thing spin's. After I finally got past the fury I had towards myself for denting it. I've started attempting to spin this little thing. It's not easy for me. But I did manage a really ugly, slow, wobbly spin that would have killed most of my tops. And it just kept going for more than 2 minutes. If I can ever get the hang of spinning it. It just might be my best top."

Carl

"Perfecta (brass + copper pair) arrived in the last day or two. They're absolutely awesome and very pretty!"

"Shipped fast. Great quality! Love the weight of these. Now, too learn how to use them properly without breaking my knuckles..."

Taylor

"Excellent EDC begleri to pack around."

Malcolm

"My top and beads arrived in the mail today. I am thrilled with the quality and workmanship of both pieces! I think I may actually use the beads more than the top to keep my hands busy! Adding the polishing cloth and cleaning paste was an unexpected addition, and the little carrying bags are wonderful. Thanks for the unique products!"
