They were involved in some disagreement and both have been silent since.

How about Rusty? I haven't seen him around in ages
My friends call me Bob. My wife calls me a lot worse.

Rusty has been gone a long time and no one knows what happened.
His last post was on November 19, 2014, 05:51:03 PM.

The other one that is missing is Scott G. Hasn't been on GG either. Also the guy who was doing the miniatures,Art I think. The other one is the guy who did such a nice job on Stanley planes.

There are probably more but not as prolific as the above.

Scott posts a lot on The Old Tools List and on at least one Facebook group.

Good to hear that. He hasn't been here since he lost his wife.

I believe the guy who did the minutures was artRafael, or something similar. He really did some amazing work. I was always impressed by his attention to detail.
And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Art is doing jewelry now so that is where his main interest is. I emailed him late last year just to check in and see how he was doing. He told me that he checked in here now and then but didn't feel he had much to offer since he was making jewelry instead of miniature tools.

This "family" has always tried to keep up with our members and sometimes they just fall off the grid or even pass away.
Remember all of them alive or dead.

I haven't said anything in awhile, seems nobody was looking for me, anyways.  Been busy, turned 65, retired from my job of 24 years.   Got my tool box home, spent endless hours on the phone getting insurance straightened out.  Drug my fathers old pickup home and put windows in it.  Had lots of rain here and had to work pretty hard to get ahead of the weeds and grass.  Of course wife says since I am not employeed anymore I can mow those other spots in the yard that I usually ignore.  Big yard, live on the farm.  Also painting the house.  Just got done with the back, where it is 29 foot to the peak, and not crazy about ladders.  Bought a few old tools, but anymore ask myself how many of an item I have, when I spot another.  Cleaning saws, trying to sort the piles, and keep bringing those home.  Swore off old tool boxes, as my shop is too crowded now.   Will throw in my two cents when I feel is necessary.
