Mistaken avatars?

RoBBo is a legend, as in RoBBo's big lathe -http://www.ubeaut.com.au/robbo.htm

Ian (Robbo) Robertson is one of those larger than life characters who you either take an instant dislike too or you see through your mistaken impression of a gruff tuff exterior to see that he has a heart of gold and goes well out of his way help other wood turners.

Haven't had the pleasure of meeting Robo Hippy, but I have a mate who travels to the USA regularly on his wood turning and nitro / top alcohol adventures who gives Robo Hippy a tick of approval & that's good enough for me.

I have chatted with Ian several times over the internet. I took an instant liking to him. Highly recommend his videos too...
