Galoots Assembled,

Is Ralph Brendler's Stanley gage page available anywhere?

Thank you,
John

Yes. George Langford very helpfully posted a lot of links to historical pages
including that one:

I have it bookmarked.

I've also posted a zip archive of the Stanley gage pages on my Dropbox, after
using some scripts to clean it up and fix some of the broken links.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/36690878/gages.zip

IIRC a bunch of the archive.org pages have broken image links, unfortunately. I
fixed as much as I could.

Thanks Adam

... for providing this.

  I, for one, really appreciate the fact that you took the time to make
this available for download.   I wanted to make sure that someone thanked
you!

It is a real shame when the online works (that someone put a lot of effort
into)  get lost for whatever reason, so keeping these kinds of archives
alive is important (even if there are a few holes in them).
 It's too bad that we can't just put these in a library of our very own- Oh
Wait...why can't we do that?

Is it time for a kind of an internet based MWTCA,( except not just MidWest,
and not really collectors, ahem, users)?

 Who maintains Galoot Central?  Who pays for the hosting and server
maintenance?


Cheers
Claudio

In the course of my email correspondence with Jeff Gorman's son Adam 
last year, Adam mentioned that Jeff's site (A Woodworker's Notebook, 
http://www.amgron.clara.net/  ) and the info contained therein would 
probably be closed down this year.  I don't know if this remains the 
case, but perhaps this would be a worthwhile site to start with, subject 
to Jeff supporting the idea.  It would be easier to archive the 
information now, rather than attempt to recover it later, and a fine 
recognition of Jeff's place in the history of The Porch. Unfortunately I 
have neither the skills, nor the server to do this, but I do have Adam's 
email address if anyone is interested in pursuing this further.

Yes, indeed. I pulled down a snapshot of it with SiteSucker a couple years ago
for my archival purposes, but it may have changed since then.

The server that hosts OldTools has room and you all helped fund it's
upgrade last year, so I'm not opposed to putting content on there as
long as the owner doesn't mind it being hosted there.

Cheers,

*I have a copy of the site as it appears to a visitor on a particular date
stored on my disk. It is not available to anyone else or being used for
anything other than reference purposes. You are free to do the same to my
sites respectfully. The copy may be a couple years old and not reflect the
current version, don't rely on me for a backup!

There are also a couple more and after expending a great deal of effort
resurrecting Brendler's site I am having difficulty finding my copy.

If there are site you'd recommend to save for posterity let me know and
I'll try, my software config makes this generally a simple task. If you
have a need to do your own archives ping me off-list and I'll share my
setup.

Cheers,
