New Guy on the Block

[Robert Arrowood]

Hello folks my name is Robert "NOT BOB".I've been woodworking for about 7yrs now.Mostly small boss and wall hangings.About 2yrs ago started doing walking sticks and canes.While out looking for sticks I started finding Burls mostly Cherry Burls.I've posted a picture in the photo section.Now I've got me a lathe and started doing pens.It's a neat story about the lathe.I'm a member of another wwing site www.ncwoodworker.net (http://www.ncwoodworker.net), a guy there got a new lathe and put the old one up for a drawing and I won.So now I off and turning.

Welcome aboard, Robert not Bob. I reckon we could deal with another Bob from the Carolinas, but thanks for not being the one. :D Woodturning is a nice addiction for therapy, and you'll get lots of ideas here.

Hi Robert " not Bob"
welcome,
understand that you are on a mostly Australian site, and your introduction automatically made you "fair game"
understand also that "not bob" is a term of endearment and should be interpreted as the warm welcome that it is,
if you do have any concerns about the vernacular, you should perhaps address your concerns to the yanks that have been here for yonks, they should be able to sort it for you:D cheers

Never ocurred to me UF that Robert NotBob may be offended. I hope you are not Robert as it just our way in Australia, and that is what makes this the best damn forum on the internet. Don't believe it? Just ask us!

You ARE definitely welcome here Robert NotBob.

OK, let me get this straight.....it's NOT BOB, but you are a ROBERT (if you were French it could be ROBER'! So the bottom line seems to be that you don't want to be called Jim or Dave, or Sammy,.....definitely just Robert!:2tsup:
