Hello from France

[Claude]

Hello all,
my name is Claude, I'm 58 years, I'm living in the east part of France (Strasbourg) near the german border.
I'm a newbie in woodturning and I have a lot of things to learn ; I found the forum while searching informations on shear scraping (and I found those :))
I own a mini lathe (chinese copy from Jet) and a Nova 1624-44 lathe.
Sorry for my english language....

Hello Claude and welcome to the best forum in the land downunder and I am being fairdinkum.

A countryman of yours "Benoit Averly" is one of my favourite turners. Are you aware of his work?

I agree that your English is good so no need to apologise about it in future.

Hi Claude,
Welcome to the forum. I have wonderful memories of spending 5 days in Strasbourg over Christmas 2001. Nothing like a white christmas. Doesn't happen down here, usually about 30 degrees plus (in the shade)
A beautiful place you live in there. Great food and wine.
Cheers and welcome again
Frank

I've been to Strasbourg a couple of times and quite like it there, mainly for the choucroute, tarte flambé and vins d'alsace...

Welcome!
