I noticed recently that Mr. Wayfinder has been absent from these pages. It appears that the account, plus all posts have gone. Seems a bit of a shame as the fellow was always happy to help out, and could clearly call upon his own knowledge (and Google) pretty well. Some interesting and fun builds came from that guy.
Anyway, best of luck to you, if you're reading this.

I with you on this Richey ,it's not just his input that's gone but the responses to his posts as well many of which were very informative. perhaps he'll be back later..
Total bummer. I too met Wayfinder at the 2014 KC music fest. Spent a lot of time with em. Really great guy. Awesome builder/player as well. Definitely and asset to this community. To be honest he was the first member I'd look for as far as posting new threads or posts on existing ones. Dude, if your reading this, take some time. Do what you need to. You'll always have friends here. Hope to see ya soon.
I've been a long time lurker (couple years now) so maybe I'll finally throw in my 2 cents. I usually check out the forums every day or two because you never know what cool tip, trick, review or experiment someone has to offer. There are a few names I've come to recognize and make a point of reading their posts and Wayfinder is one that I'd always go to. The other thimg that keeps me coming back here is, for the most part, everyone is treated with respect. There are never any stupid questions or ideas. There might be a difference of opinion, but that's why we're probably here. this place is a haven from the elitists that exist on other luthier forums (and I do consider cbg builders as luthiers).
To bring this reply back on point, if Wayfinder is still reading these posts, there are probably a bunch of us lurkers that are going to miss your enthusiasm for the craft.
I don't do Facebook, Twitter or other types of social media. I feel they are a waste of time This site is a fountain of ideas and opinion. After several years of reading on this site. I learned as I went and respected Wayfinders' comments and insight. One of the ways to learn is reading old post. No matter how crazy or simplistic you feel the question you are asking, chances are really good someone has asked it before. His comments were gold to me. I just about feel like my dog died. Will miss you Wayfinder and hope you are OK.
i always found him an interesting guy to deal with - hope he finds his way back :-)
I was wondering what happened. Nice guy, even built me one of his prototype pickups after I sent him a spool of wire I'd never use...
Sigh...
Damn, now where's his address.....
Many of you may have noticed the absence of Wayfinder in recent weeks. It appears that he has deleted all of his many postings and has withdrawn from CBN participation.
I recently hooked up with Wayfinder over at Handmade Music Clubhouse. He is still very much into building and testing cigar box designs, but for reasons of his own, decided to leave CBN.
He did ask that I pass along his apology for omitting many of his interesting test findings. Unfortunately, he did not retain personal copies of these postings, so is unable to pass them along for those that found them interesting and useful.
It is unfortunate that Wayfinder found it necessary to leave the site as he was (for me at least) one of the most interesting posters on the building forum. I understand that on an unmonitored board, there is always the chance that conflicts, disagreements and misunderstandings can arise between posters of radically diverse backgrounds and cultures. As a result, good people, from time to time, take their experience and wisdom and leave. When they do, we all lose.
So, for me the lesson is simple-->As Ellen says "Be kind to one another."
Thanks for that info Tom T. Good advice from Ellen.
I rarely give put downs.
if you can't say anything decent or encouraging then its best to keep ya mouf shut!
I always try to say some encouraging even if I'm not keen on the looks or sound.
hell we've all got start somewhere.
some folks have to have their say regardless how hurtful it may be.
the old english saying...they're like a dog dick they have to be in it.
the internet are full of key board warriors..
