Hi from Chertsey

[Dragon]

Hi to all from Chertsey, Quebec. I am new to scrolling. Have paid for my subscription to Scrollsaw for 2 years and can't wait to see what new patterns I can find in there.
I will have many questions because there are no scrollers that I know of in my area. Have never seen anyone operate a scroll saw even. Been using mine for a few months and I am really enjoying it so far. Took me months to finally know how to adjust it...LOL

Bonjour Diane,
Hi Diane,

Bienvenue dans un endroit plein de gens qui voudront bien gentiment t'aider en partageant leurs connaissances.
Welcome to a place full of people that will want to help you by gently sharing their knowledge with you.I sincerely believe that you will find it enjoyable. We like to laugh, laugh at ourselves a little, speak about different things, all that in a respectfull climate.Have fun, don't hesitate to ask lots of questions (the question that is stupid, is the one not asked)

La philosophie du group c'est un peu que nous on conserve notre savoir en le partageant.
The group's philosophy is somewhat that we keep our knowledge by sharing it

Les nouveaux trouvent tous beaucoup d'aide ici.
Newbies find lot's of help here

Et finalement deux choses
And finally two things1) preciously keep the first piece you scrolled (in French it's called a , in case you didn't know)2) we like to see pictures of your work. It lets us, not judge you, but see your evolution and to enable us to give you advice that will let you get better with time.Once again, I welcome you in our little corner of the net, I hope you will have fun with us, and we are now 3 from the Montreal region (you, Eric and me)

Au plaisir,
Marcel
Regards,
Marcel

PS: Diane, 90 Min from Montral is still a hec of a lot closer than most people on this forum, so I consider it in my neck of the woods.

Edited: Translated as requested.

Thank you for your welcome. I did take a spanish class and although it might take me a while I will take the time to find out what was said.
Diane

[ChuckD]

All kidding aside, WELCOME

[Dragon]

Took me a while to realize that you translated Marcel's posting into spanish.
It will give me practice. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum eh!
Here on the Wet Coast we don't speak much French or Spanish.
We do drink lots of coffee, eat smoked salmon and BBQ year round...not always due to the nice weather, sometimes due to power outages.

I won't try to translate anything to any other language because I don't know any other language, except scrolling.

So keep your blades sharp, tension high, feed slow, turn sharp and clean up the sawdust once you are done.
Oh and while you are out can you get me a Timmies and a dozen TimBits!

[PuzzledMoose]

Translation appreciated, Marcel ..:-) It's a long time since I learned French at school though I must admit I still understand quite a lot of it - written at least - and a year here with bi-lingual labels on everything has brought a lot back ..lol

Understanding spoken French is another matter - especially French Canadian French ...
