We lost Windowguy

[Axehandle]

This is a second one of my Secret Santa recipients to pass along. I never knew him personally but that connection makes me all the more saddened by this. Rest well sir.

RIP, Steve. You will be missed.

Thanks Jim for letting us know;
Like all that has been said here, he was a good friend to me and I hope that he felt the same. Many years ago I lost my way here, and he kept me afloat, along with young RyanC. I now wish that I had saved those Pm's.


I too will make some shavings in his honor...........Steve will be missed!

RIP Steve. He is a good egg (not "was" because his contribution is alive in forum posts).

I am truly sorry to hear this.

Steve helped me get involved with hollows and rounds and Japanese sharpening stones.
I will think of him often as I use my H&Rs and sharpen my tools.

He made many contributions to this forum and he will be truly missed.
