    G'day from Lakewood, WA near Seattle WA USA
    It may take a while for me to get up to your terms for various things. I do mainly turning and some boxes. I look forward to communicating and sharing info with everyone. I am retired from 46 years in the sign business.
    Regards
    Don Nicholas
    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all

    G'day Don, and welcome. We sometimes talk in code to confuse new members, but if you are undsure simply ask. We say 4x2, not 2x4 - then again lately we've been talking in metricated measurements. Enjoy your visits and believe there is plenty of knowledge with the many hunderds of members from many countries.

    G'day, Don. Welcome aboard.

    We're almost a mini-UN here, with plenty of common interests and opportunities to learn and teach (as best we can!). You'll probably need to bookmark an Australian slang dictionary; I still find it convenient. A decent combination metric/Imperial measuring tape will be useful too.

    I mainly do turning too, whenever I can. There's about 3 AAW chapters in your area; find them at https://www.woodturner.org/

    During my migrant worker days, I resided in Renton and Federal Way, among others. And a cousin in PA is a sign contractor.

    Merry and Happy everything to you and yours too, mate.

    Cheers,
    Joe

    Hi Don. Welcome to the forum. Us Aussies are bilingual ('strine AND american) and we've probably seen most of the same tv shows and movies. And we welcome all kinds here.

    Welcome to the forum Don.

    You will find many generous people on here willing
    to offer advice and information.

    Plenty of weird characters too ... you will recognize
    them. Just look for the signs - sorry, I realise you have
    been making them yourself during your working life.

    Tea Lady,

    Sorry darlin, but when yer talked about langwidge and rattled on about Strine an Americanese, bein the way we talk ere, yer forgot that we Poms ad a bit of imput too.

    Nah stand back and wait fer the Micks ter put in their two pennyworth.

    See Don, we are one big happy family.
