After I posted this I made a full size top. I can get the fullsize one to more or less work. I have concluded that I just suck at throwing tops.
The top is balanced very well as far as concentricity. It is bottom heavy. I make lots of finger tops and I know how to machine very even and how to index my pieces so that everything is true.
Here are some of my finger tops. http://yoyoexpert.com/forums/index.php/topic,73462.0.html
I might have to break down and spend the 10 dollars on a plastic beginner top.
