I couldnt recall a recent post so I searched on his name and didnt get anything newer than mid-January. I also notice his posts now list him a a guest. I dont recall the difference between "member" and "guest", but I guess the bottom line is he didnt renew here? I sure miss his advice. Anyone hear from him?

I've been wondering too.
"Dave! Dave! Come back, Dave! We miss you!"
I am never wrong.
Well...I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken.

I couldn't find him in the member list so I assume he cancelled his registration here. If he simply didn't renew his contribution he would be listed as a member (you automatically go from contributor to member if you don't renew).

Go into the world and do well. But more importantly, go into the world and do good.

Well Mike, that's what I was afraid it meant. I may go over to another site he used to frequent and see if he's still "around".Originally Posted by Mike Henderson
Edit: Well, I see he's got a couple posts on Wood Central today.

I was wondering the same and saw his posts over at Wood Central earlier this week.

Maybe he became unstuck in time?
I hope he comes back

Well I remember him saying this
hereI don't post much here any more (because like this thread, the discussion doesn't advance and there isn't proper credibility given to the people who actually know what they're talking about),
and then he sent some saws for testing.
I just discovered the Old vs New saws thread. For some reason I didn't read that one.
anyway
This is the best forum around.
Central is great too but less active.
I suppose more and more people are doing what I SHOULD be doing and that is spending this time in the shop.
After FWW and Woodwork mags went to pot I need to connect some how.
I hope David comes back or gets the forum he wants.

Yeah I learned about the whole chipbreaker business mostly thanks to his posts.
He has some good videos about plane making on YouTube so he is around.

I'm not sure you can change your statue to Guest without help/intervention from the Mod Squad.
Perhaps one of our Overlords will add something here?
When I started woodworking, I didn't know squat. I have progressed in 30 years - now I do know squat.

David explained his issues in one of his last posts here.

He's hanging & posting over on Wood Central.

Seriously...if Dave chooses not to come back here, he will be greatly missed.
I think he thought I was kidding when I would call him one of the world's leading experts on "all things stones". I ALWAYS appreciated (and sought after) his advice.
I am never wrong.
Well...I thought I was wrong once...but I was mistaken.

I am relatively new to this or any other WW forum.
However, like any other relationship, we, as a group, may consider what went wrong and bear that in mind in the future.
Certainly there is some reason. The sort of reference in the above response of David's points to that:
"I don't post much here any more (because like this thread, the discussion doesn't advance and there isn't proper credibility given to the people who actually know what they're talking about)"
Anybody know what he is referring to?

Well, I just finished reading the thread that Winton linked to in his post above. I wasnt following that one at the time. I guess I can see what happened now, or at least I have the sense of it. I always learn a great deal from David's posts and I sure miss hearing from him.
Thanks guys. Im off to buy some lumber so I can try my hand at making a pair of small hollows/rounds next weekend. If Im successful and they work ok, I'll post a couple pics.
Have a good weekend,

I consider myself to be an internet friend of Dave, through two forums. I won't speculate on his reasons, but I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see him back. That said, don't feel responsible yourself. The prior forum actually asked him to leave. This time, the motivation was self-driven, at least. I see that as growth on his part. Maybe more woodworking and less posting would be a good prescription for him.
