Stickman Greetings

[Roby]

Greetings from Roby.  I have been making puzzles now for about a decade.  I am addicted to woodworking like the rest of you, but I also like raising bees, growing mushrooms, and being obnoxious.  I really enjoy working on projects with other people, so give me a holler if you have an idea or want to work on joint projects.  Ask John about this.  We have done several projects together, and I don't think I am too difficult to work with.

Great to meet you Roby!!! Cool with the bees! Yuck with the mushrooms (although they are very cool to look at)! I look forward to working with you on this tube box puzzle!!!

Indeed, it sounds like fun.  Probably, I will not have too much time to mess with things on my end.  I am in the middle of 3 puzzles right now, but I do tend to drop everything when I can help on a project.  I don't have a lathe, so I could never make this puzzle myself, but it seems simple enough that it would be a good first puzzle for any lathie.

That works for me. I'll shout if I have any questions or get stuck. Good luck with those puzzles

If any of you are wonderin' what sort of stuff comes out of the crazy Stickman mind, just have a look here, Collector James Strayer has a complete collection of all of Roby's pieces, very exclusive, I'm pretty sure Jim's collection is the only one like it

I am waiting for the temp to heat up, but the bees do visit me in the workshop and enjoy playing around in the wind currents made by the table saw.  I will try to get some vids of this, cause it is funny as heck.
