Stan Munro (Stan The Toothpick Man) was born in Rochester,
NY, in 1970, and has family in New York City and Seattle, WA.
Stan admits, “My wife is the only sponsor I’ve ever
needed. She’s a pretty good boss, and
she doesn’t mind if I work all day in my underwear.”
Before making large toothpick structures for a living, he
was the “Wacky Morning Guy” on 13WHAM-TV in his hometown of Rochester.
In college (Fashion Institute of Technology), Stan built
toothpick structures as a hobby and gave them away as gifts.
His first introduction to toothpicks was in grade school
when Stan’s art teacher instructed the class to make a toothpick structure that
was six inches tall and could hold an egg.
Stan lives in Syracuse, NY, with his beautiful wife and four
Shi-Tzus. He has no plans to stop
toothpicking anytime soon. Life is just
too good.
Now I have this unusual craving to go pick my teeth…

You always post the most amazing things!
This man has to be extremely patient with very steady hands. I am in awe.
That's incredible. I could never work with objects that tiny.
Love,

Amazing! The patience required, let alone the talent.
