Aloha Tony,
This is the only way I can communicate with you. Sorry.
1) Every time I try to email or PM you, I get a login request. After I log in and get a "thank you" screen, It tosses me back into the login screen again. I can't get past it, so I am writing here. Hopefully, it'll accept this message.
2) When I learned of Mike Ameling's passing ("Grumpy Ole Blacksmith From The Hinterlands") I saved a copy of his web page. Would it be possible/practical to archive it in some form on BCUK? Of course, I will ask permission from the family first. It would be a shame to lose his thoughts on firesteels, blacksmithing and his gallery of photos.
Good luck PMing me through the forum (grin). You can contact me at jimyuen at hawaii dot rr dot com
