Hello all, I know this is a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know whats happened to David Wilks , a machinist from Sheffield. He used to do a lot of videos on U tube about trepanning , on hard steels like Inconel . Its been many months since his last video and am getting concerned, probably like a lot of people that something has happened to him !.

Do hope hes OK . Many thanks.

His website is now defunct, but Archive.org took a snapshot last Jan.
https://web.archive.org/web/20210123064751/https://www.tooltekprecision.co.uk/

Facebook page hasn't been updated for ages, but still listed as active company director at Companies House
https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/officers/95a0gcPTZ10MjGDfMYmOrFmKNRQ/appointments

Not obviously in the phone book, but his Youtube channel says he has a house to let in Thailand.

Hope he's OK

I believe he sold his shop to another company. He was employed by them for a while. That is from memory. I would have to reciew his later videos to be sure.
