    Rest in peace Nissim Avrahami

    Niki as some of us knew him has passed. Regina, his wife, sent an email to a member of another forum we were both on. I only hope someday to be half as creative in my jigs.

    He will certainly be missed. His photo shoots, projects, and explanations are top notch.
    Is there a website to leave comments? Many funeral homes do that.

    One of the most creative Woodworkers I've ever seen. His creativity for making jigs was barnone. I'll really miss his tips.

    I hate to hear that. He was indeed a talented man.

    Sorry to hear such sad news. He was truly a creative woodworker. My sympathy goes out to his family.

    I arrived late to the game, never connected with him and am sorry to see a fellow wood worker pass, my condolences to his family.

    While I never had the opportunity to gain from his knowledge directly, as it seems many of you have, I did go to his listing in the members area and look thru some his postings. I hope they stay available so that others may gain from his insight as well.

    Niki was a man who knew how to do more with less than most anyone. He will be sorely missed.
    Cheers,

    I measure three times and still mess it up.

    Wow!

    That's truly a shock.
    I always liked Nissim's posts. Some of his "inventions" were amazingly well thought out.
    He will be much missed.

    Niki was indeed talented and was always willing to share his ideas. Should he disagree with someone (and that was seldom) he could express himself in a very respectful manner.

    He will be missed!

    RIP Niki. His photo essays on how to make his jigs, etc were always incredible.

  13. Having lurked here for months before signing up.....I truly respected Nissim's fantastic ability to simply pesky problems with elegant solutions.

    Here's the list of his thread contributions. RIP.
