    That is very sad.

    Regina and Niki will be in my thoughts and prayers. His innovative jigs made from simple materials were an inspiration to me.
    Cheers

    What terribly sad news. Niki contributed so much to this forum and other forums over the years. His incredible ability to create jigs that were super standard will be a monument to him.
    My thoughts go out to his wife and family. It is indeed a very sad loss to all.

    Sad news indeed. We knew Niki had had some problems but his last post indicated he was OK.

    My thoughts are with his family.

    Thanks for that Groggy, unfortunately many of the pictures included in the original threads have been removed from their location and not available any longer to view which is a pity. Nevertheless, there are some good threads well worth reading again.

    I know Niki was a member of a number of forums and he had been trying to update the photo's and some of the jigs until he took ill.

    I'll do a search on the other forums and see what I can find.

    Without cheers,

    Very sad news indeed......

    Hopefully one way or another all of Niki's (considerable) contributions can be preserved on the forum.
