My entry for the 16-100 pieces category in Yuri Fassio's Spinning Top Contest 2010.

About this creation

This is Ed's greatest (and only) invention. It's a stick that you insert into the middle of a toast with a butter pat, spin the toast using it, and the butter is distributed equally to all the sides of the toast. Oh, who am I kidding? Very random idea, I'm not sure what came over me.

It stands on one stud! Once it gets its balance, it doesn't even wobble.

It spins much better tham I expected. It's average spinning time is 45 seconds, but it once spun for almost a minute.

It's made of 48 parts. In the beginning I wanted to shrink it to 15 parts, but I didn't manage to do it.

Rolf: A buttered toast spinner? Is it the end of the world already? A sea cucumber spinner I understand, but a toast?
(Rolf and the diorama aren't parts of the MOC - I made them for a completely different occasion.)

Which one's the real one? Bet you can't tell!

Sweet! I loved the old 3 Eds Saga, and still do! Your take on the buttered toast is awesome, and the hints of Rolf in the dio are great, too!

Quoting Mike Johnson Kudos for the most unusual concept design for a top. Now the only question is Ed smart enough to wait for the toast to stop spinning before he tries to eat it? My money's on no!

Good one! I couldn't stop laughing :D
