RE: Hello

[Nicholai]

Hello Folks;
Being new here I hope I get this right. It seems each forum has a different way of doing things and I'm great at not getting it right. Anyway, I from a small place in central Ontario, Canada called Minden. Population year round is about 5000 but swells to 50000 in the summer. I' a retired teacher with 35 years of experience and one of the pleasures of my job was to spend a a magnificient year teaching just outside of Canberra, back in '89. The family still talks about it. Hope to return in the near future. I have built a super wood shop in the garage and do my work there. I started turning by beginning with pens, which is nice past time in the evenings when I'm not modellinf lead solders or building model airplanes for my son to fly.
Have a Grand Australia Day! you Aussies.

Welcome Nic. Twenty years is a long time to reminisce - better to make the 'near future' nearer rather than later. Australia, as a whole, has changed a lot in those years.

Welcome to the forum Nicholai

[Nicholai]

hey Masoth:
Thanks for the welcome. Yes I agree with you about looking forward. We've managed to keep up with many changes down-under through lifelong friends. Things never stay the same and life as a whole must move forward whether we want it or not.

Hi Nick,
Welcome to the place that has most of the answers to things made of wood. A good bunch of people willing to give advice and a hand.

[munruben]

A big welcome to you Nicholai. Great place to come to.

G'day Nic and welcome to the woodies version of heaven.

Things are pretty informal here so don't get too worried. If you step out of line , the resident axe wielding mongrel,will take a swing.

Welcome aboard, Nicholai.

I've also learned the right way to do a few things, and the wrong way to do almost everything else. The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask. We have plenty of stupid answers.

Cheers,
Joe
