Has anyone done business with Bogg's lately? All of their web pages seem to be gone. I hope they are still doing their thing, they have saved me hundreds of dollars over the years.

My saved link

just gives a 404 error.
Isn't that usually a server down or maybe a software update?

Google says they are "open"
google search (https://www.google.com/search?q=boggsd+tool&sxsrf=ALeKk02QzmKIbLkeEww6D4aKYj4ekfqnTA%3A1626714 651585&source=hp&ei=G7L1YLzzH83XtAaa9YnQBw&iflsig=AINFCbYAAAAAYPXAK1Fvn4u1CXe55eXJTzTweQXtsKl R&oq=boggsd+tool&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBwgjELACECcyCAgAEA0QBRAeMgg IABAIEA0QHjoECCMQJzoFCAAQkQI6CwguELEDEMcBEKMCOggIL hCxAxCDAToKCC4QxwEQrwEQJzoICC4QsQMQkQI6BQguELEDOgg IABCxAxCDAToHCAAQsQMQCjoECAAQCjoECAAQDToHCAAQsQMQD ToKCAAQCBANEAoQHjoGCAAQFhAeUN8GWNsWYOwYaABwAHgAgAG rAogByAuSAQUwLjUuM5gBAKABAaoBB2d3cy13aXo&sclient=gws-wiz&ved=0ahUKEwj87NGn0O_xAhXNK80KHZp6AnoQ4dUDCAk&uact=5)

I did a little poking around, and it looks like they forgot to pay for their domain name and GoDaddy locked them out.

Here's the wayback machine copy of their page with the phone number: https://web.archive.org/web/20180803190657/http://www.boggstool.com/page27.html And other contact info.

Boggs is very much still in business.

Called them this morning and had a nice chat.
He said their website should be back up and running now, if not very soon.

He also talked about the other items they can sharpen, drills, end mills etc.

Will pack up my wood files, and ship them out tomorrow to them.

I send my horseshoeing rasps to them to be resharpened.

I didn't even know such an enterprise existed until this thread appeared. Looks like I need to give them a call to learn what they offer. Thanks.

Bummer, I just threw out a batch of my dad's files, they were ancient and well used.

Good thing is I didn't throw ALL of them out, I see a box-o-files winging it's way to the left side of the country in the near future.

May have to spread the word with the buddies, I know several who would have a "wore out but just can't throw it out box of files" lurking under the bench.
