Recently I drove into Sheffield for a work meeting, and as I travelled past defunct engineering businesses and closed-down machine tool retailers it put me in a reflective mood. The City of Sheffield was once a global superpower in steel manufacturing and engineering. Now, other than a few remaining niche businesses, that industry is gone. The relics of Sheffield’s industrial past are on every street corner to remind us what it once was, which gave me a deep sense of sadness for the loss.
I was just thinking about your posts the other day, that I hadn't seen one recently as I so enjoy them. Thanks for bringing closure to a wonderful series, hope to hear from you again. All the best.
Well said, and a difficult choice to have to make. I have enjoyed and related to a lot of what you have written and wish you all the best in future endeavours.
I enjoyed reading your posts and am sorry to see the end of your informative, well-written pieces. It's not the end of them for me, because all are saved in Notes on my Mac as part of a collection that comprises my own self-help encyclopedia. I've gained some very useful techniques and broader ideas about woodworking from you, thanks for those Ed. Go well on the road ahead!
Ed, count me in the group who enjoyed your humor and wisdom, and who wish you well on your next pursuits. Thanks for letting us know and giving us the opportunity to wish you well.
This last week I was reading your last post again and wondering what happened to you.
I’m very happy to hear you are in good health again.
I’m extremely sad to hear you had to quit the craft and will mot be posting again, your post were extremely interesting and full of great information, I sure will continue to miss them.
BEST LUCK in your new endeavors, and BE HEALTY and HAPPY.
