Popular Post Foxfold Posted October 3, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) My first ever thing that I've made from start to finish. I made the pattern in Inkscape and I cut it with my new saw. Now I know it's not earth shattering to many of you, but to me it's great and I'm chuffed to mintballs with it. It has my daughter and grandson's names on it. Onwards and upwards as they say Edited October 3, 2018 by Foxfold Woodrush, frankorona, GrampaJim and 8 others 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill WIlson Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Very good. Letters are more difficult than people may realize. Small errors show up very readily. I don't see any in your piece. Well done! "Chuffed to mintballs" That's a new one on me. I presume that's a local colloquialism meaning you are pleased?

It just means that' I'm as pleased as punch. I forget sometimes that this is not primarily an 'English' forum. We must come across as quite strange sometimes.

wombatie Posted October 4, 2018 Report Share Posted October 4, 2018 That is awesome Brenda, it is something to be proud of for sure. Don't worry I come out with Aussie stuff and sometimes the English get it but the Americans I have to spell it out for. Then other times no one gets it. Sorry guys don't mean any disrespect.

Marg Many years ago on a forum the discussion was about some simple item. I made the mistake of saying "I'll shoot down the shed this arvo and knock one up". I spent a lot of time convincing people that shed was not going to sprout bullet holes and no-one was getting pregnant.

A couple of years ago I was having trouble with my EX21 and asked about here on the Village, I said that I had the torch but it didn't help. After a lot of confusion I told the it was a flashlight not a hot flame torch. Lot of laughs later. Sorry Brenda for hijacking your post.

Thank You, I feel my cutting is getting better. Grasping Inkscape was all down to Travis and his video lessons in the resources tab He's very good making things easy to follow. I just did what he did on screen. LOL. Thanks Travis xxx Edited October 4, 2018 by Foxfold bobscroll and John B 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spirithorse Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 Excellent work, Brenda, Thank for sharing and I really enjoy hearing some of the colloquialisms and customs from around the world. I was in the U.s Navy and had the good fortune of visiting 18 countries and enjoyed that portion of the military tremendously. God Bless!
