John, the rumor I heard "on the street" from someone who supposedly knows/knew them well was that his son was going to finish the projects that Herm had in the shop, then evaluate whether he wanted to continue that business. Evidently the son currently has a fairly lucrative Knife company where he is making quality knives and has more work than he can do. |

Re: rebabbiting
This is John Kohnke. I have been working on business aspects literally 24\7 for months since dad passed without any personal time trying to get things in order. I am continuing the babbitt business, and will be posting pics of past and current progress of completed, and current work when I find time to do so. In the meantime, the KohneRebabbittingService.com website has a new number for contacting. TY all for your patience!

Looks to be a typo in website address. left the 'k" off after the "n" in Kohnke... That being said getting error message when trying to access site. |

Re: rebabbiting
My previous posts about Kohnke rebabbiting gave some the impression that there was some problems with John's service. There were no problems with his service and an excellent job was done with the rod project. As I said in a previous post there was a shipping problem that was not any fault of John.

And of course, sorry about your father. I spoke with him on the phone a couple of times and he was a first-rate fellow very knowledgable. He will be missed, but you will be just as competent! |
