Hey Hello all you scroll saw fans,

I am Martien van der Els, I live in the Netherlands, I am nearly 64 years of age, I am momenterally unemployed, dumped by the company I have been working for , during 43 years.
Now I am very happy in my hobby, the scrolling, and if you allow me to, I will tell you in the furure about my project in this area.

But for now....... thank you for your attention, thank you for the great forum...and specialy for Steve, thank you for the support during the last two years.

Excuse me for my bad English. It is simply not my native language. And people, remember...............you don't speak Dutch hahahahah.

 ;) Welkom, martienels, ik ben Franstalig Belgische, en hoewel ik een beetje te begrijpen van de "Vlaamse" (Belgisch-Nederlands van mijn kant) Ik spreek geen (niet genoeg geleerd ...) Ik ben een deel van wat de Waalse eiland genaamd, dat wil zeggen de kleine stad Komen (21.000 hoofd) die wordt omgeven door de West-Vlaanderen en een deel van Frankrijk. 15 km 15 km Ieper en Lille (Frankrijk). Al mijn vertalingen zijn gedaan door Google Vertaling.

Welcome, martienels, I'm French-speaking Belgian, and although I understand a little the "Flemish" (Belgian Dutch from my part) I do not speak (not learned enough ...) I'm part of what the Island called Walloon, ie the small town of Komen (21,000 head) which is surrounded by the West Flanders and a part of France. 15km from Ypres and 15 km from Lille (France). All my translations are done by Google Translation.  :)
