I was thinking the other day about Tim. Remember him? Regular here who emigrated to Canada. His last post was the day he left for Canada and not a post since, not even a post card! In the M&T thread woof reminded Mike about A thread by Aragorn back in 2005. His last post was back in mid 2008.

Adam the old mod left and never returned. Newbie_Neil appears to lurk. Thank god Alf came back. Mike.C also went off the radar for a bit and appears to have been through the mill. Glad he's on the mend.

Anyone else gone missing? Funny old world innit?

(yes, I'm bored).
 
we've not heard from jenx for a while

and blister's a lot quiter than he used to be
 
ah yes Scrit. Would love to know what happened there. I can only assume the worse.
 
Yes, its shocking how many members have gained a life and moved on....:lol:
One of the things I like about the Bashes we occasionally have is it cements friendships - its good to keep in touch.
Philly :D
 
I think mr faded away around the time of the Apocalypse (when the other side was created, Alf left, etc).
 
What about Byron Black, LyNx, Bean, Keith Smith and Motown Martin. All of these were good members who I have not seen about for a while. Martin did send me a PM when I surfaced after my illness but I have not heard from him since.

Sadly there is one member who I often think about when sharpening chisels on my Tormek and that is Trevtheturner who passed away 4 years ago this May. He wife was kind enough to sell me the machine. :cry:

Cheers

Mike
 
I know Lynx and Keith have defected to the other side and regularly post. Bryon gave up regular woodworking I think and has popped in occasionally. Good point about MM, not sure what happened there, life probably.

The guy who helped start this site with Charley, Saw Dust Alley, was it? Not seen him for years. When I joined there was a young lad called Thomas Kennedy who was in woodworking education. Not seen him for years either.

Good to see Lynx and Keith are still about. I remember Saw Dust Alley, didn't he also have a site of his own at one time?

Talk about Lynx and Keith posting on the other forum, I see mr grimsdale is back. Along with Alf, who knows more have them might give us another chance. As you say, members like Scrit are missed, he was a mind of information, especially when it came to machines.

Cheers

Yes that hit me harder than some losses much closer to home, he made a point of encouraging me when I first put gouge to wood even to the point of inviting me to his home. Some of my earlier pieces made with his wood gifts are kept as much as a reminder of his generous personality as for any other reason.

Passed Tims old home a couple of weeks ago and got to wondering how he is getting on in that palatial establishment he found. Someone else all too willing to show a hand of friendship.

Scott was very generous to me as well, haven't seen or heard of him for some time.
 
yep that's him mate. I didn't realise he'd popped back on in late 2006.
 
There was a regular member who lived in Exeter, a gas engineer, cannot recall is username at the moment but it definately began with A.
He emigrated to Australia around 2005ish.
He built a workshop in his garden in Exeter, unusual shape, I recall he also lost a thumb on a SMSC machine caused by holding timbers to the fence which got trapped because the timbers pinched the digit to the fence.
 
I keep in regular contact with MR - he just grew tired of forums in general.
Ian Dalziel has been off work with a serious health problem - hopefully he'll be back one day.
Cheers
Philly :D
 
Please pass on my regards, best wishes to Ian if in contact Philly, only the occasional contact with him at the bashes/meets but miss his input on the engineering side of things, wonder if he still has his collection of Jet Engines.
