I haven’t posted for a while, but I’ve been busy. I just completed a lot of shop upgrades, making it easy to both build sticks plus take video of the work, so I can (from sticks 25 onward) create a 60-minute build-documentary for each stick. I now have 6 cameras in the shop, with four mounted permanently over each of the main workstations, and two able to rove.

The idea is to complete a stick each week (each build takes months, but one’ll finish each week), circulate the videos on the social media channels to help create awareness of the sticks, and provide a copy on a thumb drive with the stick to whomever purchases it.

I’ve also been building sticks. Because they have to hang a while between each action, to rest, building them spans months. That means I need to have a lot of sticks in the works. That’s good, because I absolutely love the creative outlet of building them.

I’ve gone to town. Below you’ll find what I built during the last month. Each product page has a video that shows the stick-on rollers, so you can see the full diameter.

The first two, I should mention, sticks 33 and 32, are the product of a creative collaboration with my 7-year-old niece Sammi, who chose the wood, layout, and far-out name for each stick.
