Mike (The Flying Dutchman) Moorlach

Many of you know Mike. For those who don't he is the man behind Mike's Workshop. Mike has sold the Flying Dutchman scroll saw blades to many thousands of scrollers in the U.S. and Canada. For years he has been my go to source for blades and great service. He has also been the source I recommend to my readers when they want a high quality scroll saw blade. I also considered Mike a friend. Of course most of Mike's customers considered him their friend. That's how Mike ran his business.

Mike sold his business yesterday. Mike has decided to retire early and live the good life. Mike is 84 years young. 

I have known for quite some time that he was trying to sell the business but I honestly hoped he would keep going forever. It's mixed emotions. I am thrilled he will be able to enjoy his retirement but I will very much miss dealing with Mike.

Mike sold his business to The Wooden Teddy Bear. I know they are working right now to get the transition over as soon as possible. When I get more details I will pass them along.  

Congratulations Mike. You are a true gentleman. I am proud to have worked with you over the years. I wish you the very best of luck in your retirement.

There are problems with the Community forum. For those of you who are members there please know that I am working on the issue. Most the the attachments for the posts such as pictures were lost. My hosting service allows unlimited storage but only if it does not cause the server issues. Apparently it was causing issues and they were only giving me a few hours to fix it or be shut down. I was trying to delete only the older attachments but they all got deleted. I'm trying to recover the lost images but no luck so far.

The size of the storage space for attachments adds up pretty quickly. I have to forum software set to delete post attachments after so many days but it does not seem to be working. I want to be able to continue to host the attachments on my server but if I can't get it worked out I may have to only accept offsite attachment hosting. Sorry for the trouble.

Think Safety

Remember to keep the safety of yourself and others in your work shop in your thoughts at all times. Always wear eye and ear protection. Follow all the manufactures warnings that came with your power tools. If I demonstrate something on this web site that you don't feel is safe, don't do it. Your safety is your responsibility. Fingers are handy things, try to keep all of them.
