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.

Je crois sincèrement que tu t'y plaira bien. On aime rire, rire de nous un peu aussi, parler de differentes choses, et tout ça dans un climat de respect.
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.

Amuse toi bien, n'hésite pas à poser des questions en masses ( la seule question qui est niaiseuse, c'est celle qui n'est pas demandée)
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 things

1) garde précieusement la première piece que tu as chantournée ( en Français c'est une scie à chantourner, si tu ne le savais pas déjà)
1) preciously keep the first piece you scrolled (in French it's called a "scie à chantourner", in case you didn't know)

2) on aime bien voir des photos de tes travaux. Ça nous permet, non pas de te juger, mais de voir ton évolution et de pouvoir te donner des conseils qui te permettrons de t'améliorer au fil du temps.
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.

Encore une fois, je te souhaite la bienvenue dans notre petit coin de la toile, j'espère que tu t'amusera avec nous, et nous sommes 3 maintenant de la région de Montréal (toi, Eric et moi).
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

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.

En español:
Buenos días Diana, Bienvenida en un lugar pleno de gente que querrá bien amablemente ayudarte compartiendo sus conocimientos. Creo sinceramente que habrá bien. Le gusta reir, reir nosotros un poco también, hablar de distintas cosas, y todo eso sin un clima de respeto. Divierte bien, no duda en plantear cuestiones en masas (la única cuestión que es niaiseuse, es cell que no se pide) Filosofía del group es un poco que nosotros se conserva nuestro conocimiento el compartiendo. Los nuevos encuentran toda mucha ayuda aquí. Y finalmente dos cosas 1) guardan preciosamente la primera parte que contorneó (en Francés es una sierra que debe contornearse, si ya no lo sabía) 2) le gusta ver fotografías de tus trabajos. Eso nos permite, no juzgarte, sino ver tu evolución y poder darte consejos que te permitirán mejorarte con el paso del tiempo. Una vez más, te deseo la bienvenida en nuestra pequeña esquina de la tela, espero que te divertirá con nosotros, y somos 3 maintenat de la región de Montreal (ti, Eric y mí). Al placer, __________________There you go all translated. Now I have find out how to speak Spanish.
