Very clever. Those would fetch a fair price at a craft show.

Thanks Jason, it`s all about balance so the candle has to be real close to the weight of the egg.
After it tips ya have to drip wax into the candle pan to lower it again for the next use, there is a option one could use tto make it more usable by outing a small sliding weight on the pivot bar so one could re use the candle more.
