Yeah, Thank you for your work and notice of ER's passing. I sincerely hope his Mom has ample, loving help these days.

Only got mad at him one time - back when he was WBB. Since becoming ERLover, enjoyed his posts and admired his wooddworking abilities.

He is obviously missed by our forum folks. Interesting characters like him come along occasionally and are always remembered. I do so fondly!

Find Peace Wild Bob!

Bob sometimes brought a grimace to my face, back in his Wild Bad Bob days, but those were well outnumbered by the smiles.

My favorite woodworking project that he posted was this little remote-control holder, way back when his username was simply "rbursek". I put the photo in my own to-do woodworking projects folder. When I finally make one like it, I can raise a glass to Bob anytime I want.

I think he would like that.

Just now 'discovered' this thread.

RIP indeed - Not sure he had much peace lately.

I too am concerned re his mom. Hopefully his siblings will step up.

He was 'controversial', but always an independent thinker. I admire the thinking part.

Hopefully ERLOVER will find a hiding place before the devil finds WBB. :rolleyes:

Amazing Grace comes to my mind. :)

I think he would like that too. :cool:

Would I be correct in thinking that the apron at the front functions as a coaster? ;)

Bob used to call me, when he was WBB.

I moved since that, changed my phone
number, and I hadn't heard from him
for quite a while

Big Bad Bob, ER Lover, go in peace!

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.

Bob, maybe a Jethro Gibbs send off.

Jethro had a 10ER in his basement,
to build sailboats. no other send
off would be complete.
