>There's an ebay seller called "ilovewood" and ilovewood.com is still there, still selling furniture out of Salt Lake City. Please note, I tried to help him make a pdf or other electronic book type format of Alburnum's so he could print another book and/or sell it online. He said that would be good but never did anything about it.

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

>That's curious, maybe his (ex?)partner? At any rate, it's someone (all very anonymous, no mention of a person by name, which I think unusual for a smallish craft company) selling wood furniture in Salt Lake City, claiming to have been in business since 1998. Oh, well, wonder why he doesn't have the pages used to build the old site. Such a waste.

Indeed. The copyright in those pages (that data) is clearly his.

Most people (I thought...) had a master copy of their websites on their personal machine, and merely uploaded to the distribution server.

(aside: any who makes a site using the ISP's "handy tools" is looking for trouble; if you do, download (wget?) your own site).

Anyway, Stephen can easily retrieve his pages (if he needs to) here:

>Cool, most of the pages have been archived. I'd heard of wayback, probably a wayback machine, but didn't know what was there.

Thanks,
