Hello from Longueuil

[Marcel in Longueuil]

Hi,

I just purchased a DW788 for my birthday last weekend and found this forum by running a search on "DW788" on my favorite search engine: dogpile.com.

I've looked at some of the threads and found it interresting enough to sign-up.

I have a LOT to learn as I've never used a scrollsaw before, I don't have a lathe, but I have a well equiped shop.

I may not have much to show for a while, or to say either, but I will be taking in all the information I can grab and participating where I can.

BTW, for the curious: Longueuil is located on the South Shore of Montreal across the St-Lawrence river. It is the 4th biggest city in the province of Quebec, Canada. French is my mother tongue, and I'm fluent in both French and English.

Talk to you soon,
Marcel

Welcome to the forum Marcel.
Nice to have another Canadian on the site.
This is a great place to lear, have some fun and share some knowledge.
We look forward to seeing your work as it progresses.

Yup, welcome .Soon you will be glued to the scrollsaw, and wonder how you ever lived without it.Dale

Welcome Marcel! I hope you enjoy your visits.

BTW: Can you help with the pronunciation of your city? Is it something like lon-'kee-el? Americanized pronunciation might be something like long-oil so it won't be that I am sure.

Welcome Marcel!!! You're gonna like it here. You really made it tough on a West Virginia Hill Billy to pronounce your home town!! I can pronounce Marcel however and you're going to become addicted to scrolling!! Stop by and chat even if you haven't finished a project yet. We have answers to just about any question regarding scrolling and even "the meaning of life". BTW... I love your search engine...DOG PILE????

Actually long-oil is pretty close, I haven' found a word in english that is close to the true prononciation of the "ueuil" part, but if you know the french prononciation for "eye" (oeil) it's the same.

The closest I can come up with is "long-heu-ye", and saying it aloud myself it sounds right. But you guys throw in your local accents and I'm not responsible for accuracy anymore
