Anyone Know Of Or Used "The Tool Grinder?
Hello,
Do any of you know or possible have used a business known as "The Tool Grinder"? The "Tool Grinder" sharpens bike frame specific tooling. I am trying to get in contact with Jim Kish, the owner. His website is still up here:
https://kishbike.com/
However, he isn't responding to phone messages or emails. Do any of you know how to contact him or know if he moved and where to.
Thanks,
Steve

A few, or more, years ago I read of Jim's getting out of the sharpening business. But I had no reason to seek him out at that time so didn't do more than file away that note. IIRC he sharpened my Campy cutters way back in the mid 1990s (and did a great job, BTW). Now back in the industrial rust belt I have a couple of tool sharpening shops local to me that have done bike cutters before. Andy.
