Had to go look it up. Enjoy if you don't know this post.


Thanks Karl, I lost it long ago.


Here's the link to his page. Lots to enjoy here!

Huh , I didn't know that Tee-nut was Tubal Caine from youtube ... I
subscribed to his channel .

I didn't either. . . Something funny here, I thought Robert (Tee-Nut) passed in 2001. The
TubalCane youtube was posted in 2010.


When Robert first started posting on rec.crafts.metalworking, he
posted under the name Tubal Cain -- which was previously a pen name used
by a prolific writer on model engineering in the UK. He was no longer
living, and Robert thought it was honoring him, but some took offense,
so he changed his posting name to Tee-Nut.

Someone else has started using the Tubal Cain name for web based
videos, apparently. Probably similar intentions.

Janna, Roberts daugnter, posted on 1/11/2011 the following. . .

"Thanks to you all for remembering teenut again this year. He
obviously made a big impact on a lot of lives with his contributions
here, and it means so much to me to see that he's not been forgotten,
10 years on.

I recently stumbled upon the archive of all of his posts that someone
here took the time to compile, and realised that he'd interspersed his
technical posts on metalworking with A LOT of sage advice and humour.
I wish I'd read it all earlier, but it really gave me some insights
into who my father was."

The above posting dates lead me to question Tee-Nut as TubalCane.


Well .. he *was* *a* Tubal Cain for a short while, but not this
one. :-)

Wouldn't mind at all if someone proves me wrong though. I enjoy TubalCane's videos.


Enjoy,
DoN.
