Thread: New Tone Woods Site

Is that you Bob? Or are you Rick?

Now thats bizzare, my names not Rick and it isn't Bob either, I've been called many things in my time, but not those names, lol...hehehehe...I don't get it

So you put the link up purely because you're a satisfied customer of Tasmanian Tonewoods. Thats all fine and dandy then.

G'Day Martin,
I put my hand up I am Bob, Woodturner777. who has plenny of happy customers within this group and many happy customers overseas and I take it 69guitars is a happy customer or he has found my site and is passing on the info.When all said and done myspace site has many talanted luthiers with lots of good information also so has my website that I spent hundreds of hours getting information together.
Seems to me you have a problem Martin.
Cheers Bob

And I have several different names like, Paul and Greg and Stewart.........this is funny as hell, are you guy's serious? Grow up.

Hey man post some pictures of your work. I know Bob sells terrific timber. He's been on this forum for years.

You'll have to excuse me but Im used to new forumites easing into the forum with an introduction and showing off a bit of their work. When a forumite's second posting to a forum consists of nothing but a link to a commercial site and a statement that its updated two to three times a week it sort of reads like a vanilla flavoured spruke. I was sort of expecting a few lines on what you think of Bobs site and your experiences dealing with him. If youve got links to other tonewood sites that youve had good dealings with then how about sticking them all up...Ray (Old Picker) is running a list of suppliers and Im sure hed be glad to add same to the list for all to see.


Secret society...spys and secret agents? I sign my posts with my real name and everyone in here knows who I am so no secrets here.

Cheers Martin Turner (no relation to Rick)

Hi Martin, I didn't realise there was a particular protocal to follow when signing on as a new member. The first thing I offered were free scale plans to anyone who wants them, or was that to forward as well? I've seen a list of links here and I thought as the one I posted wasn't on the list it was appropriate to post as I thought it may be new info. You are telling me to write of my experiences dealing with Bob, thats assuming I have any isn't it? As for posting a real name, I could put anything here I like, is it real? What about privacy? Is it to be assumed that if a person doesn't use their real name they are a fraud, a scammer, or up to no good?
I get the feeling I'm not welcome here, I would hate to think that all newbies are treated by senior forum members the way I have. I don't have to justify anything to anyone, nor do you or anyone else here or anywhere else for that matter. As I stated in my first post, "it looks like I've found a new home.." after this though I wonder. It seems from my very short time here that it's more about school yard politics than anything else. I'm not wasting anymore of my time having an intellectual battle of wits with an un-armed person. I'm interested in learning, clearly I've come to the wrong place, and for helping promote the forum in such a great light, well done, your a legend.

Mate!

Everyone except spammers are welcome here, just persevere, and remember this forum is so diverse and we all have our own different sense of humor and personalities, which is often difficult to grasp.

Please don't vanish into the ether just yet, I've read this thread, I grasped immediately that you were posting about another's site.

Martins reply, to me was him understanding that that you were not the owner just a customer! and yes we do share links to sites we like.

Keep posting away, don't take anything personal, the moderators will step in when the lines are crossed!

Hey, Thanks Tankstand, but I've already sent an email requesting my account be deleted or how ever it works, I'm just not interested in politics, arguements, and silly notions. I'll keep looking on here as a "guest" like I have been for the last 6 months, that'll do me.
All the best to you.

lol

chill pills all round.....

less wingeing more building boys.....

Chill out 69 guitars, Bob or Rick what ever your name is, do not not leave the group.
As Tankstand says this is one great group to be in, so much so that I have a link to it on my main website, there is some really nice guys and girls in the group that go out of there way to help others with information but we all have different views so take no notice of Martin he is only young and has an inferiority complex.
Cheers Bob, Rick or what ever you want to call me just don't call me late for Dinner.

Im sorry you feel you have to cancel your membership and I offer apologies for any offence caused by my posts. I dont speak for all others in here by any means so please dont treat my opinions and views as those of everyone in here. Call me a paranoid old fart but I moderate on a couple of other forums and am often dealing with people who use same forums as free advertising space for their businesses. A posted link to a business is useful but a few comments about your experiences with same business are a whole lot more useful.

Cheers Martin

Thanks for the compliment mate but I'm actually 51 which doesn't really class me as young. As for having an inferiority complex....I'll let others in here who know me a bit better than you judge pass judgement on my character.

Cheers Martin
