Sad news about John Moore aka Bogstandard aka Blogwitch

[terrywerm]

Knowing how John made such a large impression on so many here and elsewhere in our hobby, I felt it necessary to post this here since I did not find it mentioned anywhere in this forum.

Death. | Model Engineer

RIP Bogs, you are, and will continue to be sorely missed. You left behind a great legacy for so many.

That is indeed very sad news, 'bogs' was greatly admired for his support to the forum, providing many insights and help.
He will be greatly missed.
Many thanks for the post Terry.

For a brief time years ago, Bogs was sort of a mentor to me. I will be forever grateful for his advise and assistance. R.I.P. Mr. Moore.

I know of several people who use a number of the machining techniques that he demonstrated, myself included.

I learned many things from him, such as being meticulous about keeping things clean and in their correct place, and many techniques used to create an accurate part. He took a lot of time to post all of that machining material, and it did not go to waste, and was/is much appreciated and put to good use.

I'm a year late but still sad to hear John has gone. I like to say that I did my model engineering apprenticeship under John's guidance. He encouraged all my early efforts, made suggestions, provided tips and a lot more. I wouldn't be doing the stuff I'm doing today if it wasn't for John.

RIP

Pete

I just saw this post .
A couple of years back John helped me with somthing . Later on I was able to return the favour .
We started exchanging emails , at first about model engineering , then about a variety of subjects .
We seemed to be on thesame wavelength
Then he got sick , and the mails became less frequent , until early last year they stopped .
So I suspected the worst .
Now that I've read this post , deep down I already knew , still it's is quite a shock .

I miss our conversations .
Altough we never met in person , I considered him a friend .
