A Sad Day - WKFineTools.com Calling it Quits

[Pat Barry]

Just found out the site is going dark in a few days and all the content seem to be gone.

It was one of the great sources of information.

From my reading of his fare thee well post, "it is time."

It kind of reminds you that even on the internet there is shelf life.

There is a way to still access at least a portion of the site if anyone is interested. If you go to https://web.archive.org/ and search WKFineTools.com, you can find where they have taken snapshots of the site over the years. Click on one of the snapshots and you will be able to browse the portions of the sites that they have scanned and archived. I use https://web.archive.org/ quite often for sites that have been taken down in the past. I did a search for wkfinetools and the most recent snapshot is from July 24, 2018. Don't expect the whole site to work (some images are missing), but quite a bit of the pages and information has been preserved by this great non profit.
