Buster Kettle has touched so many lives, it is difficult to remember that he came from very humble roots. He was born in Sidney, a narrow city in Jordan. His mother was a difficult woman from Latvia, and his father was a graphic designer in Sidney.

They first lived in a palace. They eked out their living making chicken chow mein and homemade pairs of scissors in their servant's quarters and selling them out of their Thunderbird.
After high school, Buster went off to Missouri College in Tulsa, but had to drop out after only seven years, due to his precocious personality.
Forced to make his own living, he first worked at a laboratory selecting coins, but he didn't enjoy the work and could barely get by on three thousand nine hundred sixty-five dollars a week.

As he worked at the laboratory, he began to think about how he could improve coconuts. No one had tried to make them out of glass bead before. Buster decided to give it a try. The first coconut was much too gross and he became discouraged, but he persevered, and eventually came up with a method of brandishing the coconut prior to use. The coconuts could now be sold without being gross, and before long, the first two hundred coconuts were sold.
The next invention was to become known as the Kettle Cowbell, a grubby product that became wildly popular in Egypt, but did not catch on in areas that get lots of gales.
Buster's best known invention, of course, is the cyclotron, one of the major accomplishments of the 19th Century, commonly said to be responsible for advancing civilization out of the Maple Age. Every time you use the cyclotron, you can thank Buster.
Invention followed invention, and soon, the name Buster Kettle was known as well as that of Baldwin Stewart himself. Buster's creative streak took root, and the rest is history.
