Something is missing...

I had a PM from him 20 days ago but nothing since!

I would guess he has been asked to leave ,I know he was suspended for a while a couple weeks back.

Good riddance.
I do not like people who provoke just for provoking

I think he’s a good guy at heart, but he had a knack for getting into scrapes with folks. I guess he either got kicked out, or just decided to take his ball and go home.

Took a look…. his last post was 99 days ago.

I too was wondering the same thing but wasn’t going to bring it up.

I had interesting exchange of PM with Mike but then he became “all weird”.
I sent him one or two messages asking him to stop but he never replied.

I dont’ know him and he has not offended me directly, but i have seen some of his ‘not so nice posts’ and ‘badgering’.

Maybe he is eternally resting in a horizontal posistion? (sorry, could not resist that one)

Might be too busy running that website of his about Sargent planes. Been alot of “Space Stuff” going on, as well.

-- A Planer? I'M the planer, this is what I use

I agree with you on the flavour part though some times it was cringe worthy as he beat that dead horse into submission again and again.
I rather liked Mike, a true contrarian and defender of the faith, just wished he could have reined it in a little.

I have a TW 3/4in 3TPI on my 14in Rikon and I love it. To be honest, I use the BS mostly for resawing and have found that moving from 1/2in to 3/4in was noticably an improvement and made it easier to maintain a straight cut line.
