Introducing myself from the other side of the world
Hi all,
my name is Luca and I write you from the other side of the world, Italy. I'm not a pro woodworker, actually I'm a pilot flying for the italian national carrier.
I've been woodworking for some years now, and I also like drawing my plans using Google SketchUp. I'm quite confident with it and for this reason I decided to run a blog on it, in English, regularly writing posts that I think could be interesting for those who like preparing their own plans.
I don't like being invasive on forums, so if you like the idea and you agree I will keep you updated on my posts. I also have some free plans available that you can download from my site if you like.
I'd like to share my experience with you, not only on design and plans, but on woodworking in general.
Cheers, or ciao! (as we say here in Italy
)
Luca

Thank you Snow, I waited for posting the link because I like being polite and ask when entering in someone else home.
This is it: SketchupWoodPlans

Welcome Luca!
.
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.

Welcome to the forum Luca.

"If a man is after money, he's money mad; if he keeps it, he's a capitalist; if he spends it, he's a playboy; if he doesn't get it, he's a never-do-well; if he doesn't try to get it, he lacks ambition. If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

G'day Luca and welcome to the company of the slightly sane!!
You bear the same name as a beautiful little old walled city in the north of Italy.
