A very good resource appears to have disappeared in the last few days.

Jean Michel's web site, which had a lot of good information concerning homemade grinding jigs has been replaced with a site advertising the domain name.

If anyone knows how to retrieve this information and host it, it would be a great help to the turning community.

If you know the web address go to the internet wayback machine http://www.archive.org/index.php
and you may be able to pull up old pages.

I think he's a member of World of Woodturners. Do you want me to pm him with a query?

Actually Jean Michel passed away sometime last year I think..

I've been in contact with a couple of folks who said they knew him or lived near him. The domain name expired and there are people who are wrangling over who gets the content...

Hmm, don't have a pm address for him in that case.

Sorry to hear it btw, for his sake as well as for the community of wood turners.

Interesting legal and moral issue as to who owns the content.

Can't imagine my rellies wrangling over my IP :rolleyes:
