    Default New guy from Canada

    Hi everyone, i'm new here, i've been lurking for woodworking ideas here since may but was lacking english typing skills at the time and was too shy to post. The amount of sharing is incredible here and so seems to be the friendship.

    I'm a hobbyist guitar builder and have built quite a few things related to lutherie and other stuff, i took some ideas from Mr Sturdee and friends to help me build my drum sander and some other jigs that will help me in my field. Thanks Sturdee!

    One of your members here is also a member at the OLF where i am also a member, his name is Martin aka Kiwigeo, Hi Martin buddy!

    I look forward to learn more from you guys and share pics of my work with ya all, i gotta say that Aussie people are the friendliest people on this planet and i'm very happy to be here!

    Thanks

    Serge

    Hi Serge!

    I haven't been a member long and am living in Germany but I wanted to be one of the first to say Gudday and bienvenue!

    I play the guitar and I'm willing to admit I'm really, really, really crap at it. Nonetheless, it gives me a lot of pleasure and is a great way to take a 5 minute break from the computer every half hour.

    I'm guessing you're better at building them than I am at playing them so I look forward to a few pics.

    Damien

    Welcome Serge: good to see you've de-lurked.

    Now ... what about some pics: shed, past projects, a sunset from your house...?
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Default translation

    Standard exclamation! It has been noted that more canadians are being seen in this country and on this board.

    Requests pictures of yourself, your dog and your tools.

    States that we Australians don't get upset by residents of other countries joining our forum, but gives a warm greeting.
    Repeats request for pictures.

    Recomend you contact Bruce & Tim who make gituars in your country.
    They will be helpfull and friendly.

    Reminds you that its your turn to buy the beer and provide the food.
    His prefered beverage is Crown Larger.

    Standard greeting.

    Soundman,
    excellent translation, thanks, you obviously have a gift for languages . Would you mind translating all of Wild Dingo's posts from now on so that we can all understand them.:eek:

    Just heard on the radio yesterday that Foster's has been sold to the Brits. I think that there's probably more of the stuff consumed there than here anyway.

    Et en plus vous parlez français! WOW, That is a surprise! I really thought i saw your username elsewhere, like the OLF( Official Luthier Forum) in the US of A or on another forum, might also be that i just saw it here in the last 6-7 months that i lurked here on and off! What do you build mostly?
