New Guy on the Block
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, 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.
Woodturning is a nice addiction for therapy, and you'll get lots of ideas here.

G'day Not Bob, welcome to the forums. I reckon you need to change your username....Not Bob or perhaps Knot Bob.

Welcome Robert (Nobob?).
.
I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

A "bobless Robert", sounds like something an apprentice may be sent for...very interesting
It's nice to be me.
I'm the only one.

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 cheers
what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

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!
