On a cold, cold January day, the Papa Jim's Tops and Yo-Yo Demo visits the Colden Elementary School |
Jim Hilburger and Barb Berger visit the school to demonstrate woodturning the students |
Jim, a frequent demonstrator at schools, hospitals, museums, and the like has done this for years |
The kids are mesmerized by Jim's entertaining and informative demonstration |

Jim volunteers much of his time demonstrating for the children, elderly, and charitable organizations |
He can turn a top, color it, and deliver it to the audience in under two minutes |
One of the students gets to help Jim color a top |
Some of the students try out the tops Jim turned for them |

Another one of the items Jim turns is "stick pens" using ball point pen parts |
Jim demonstrates his technique for turning pens |
Each of the students not only received a top but also a pen |
A student gets to decorate his own pen that Jim has turned |

Another of the items Jim turns in demonstrations is snowmen |
It's fun to decorate them as well |
With plenty of tops, pens, and snowmen for all, the demo comes to an end |
Jim and Barb wind up another successful demo and the day winds down for the kids as well |
