Thread: New toy

My compliments to you. Very well done. With the contoured sides it looks like an antique.

That is so cool that I am actually going to clean out my woodshop so I can make one too. Excellent work!

I was in Torino in 1989 and we had to hide the fact that we were looking at a map because every time we did, two or more people came from nowhere to help us find our way. Problem was, we spoke no Italian and they spoke no English, and there would be a big argument over the best way for us to get somewhere and we'd often just sneak away while the argument raged on.

Really impressive work. (I just glued a piece of leather to a bit of wood.)

Hahaha! Well, in 1989 almost nobody spoke English in Torino... If you get here now, and try to cover your American accent, most probably you can find useful information by the people. We learnt some rudiments of foreign languages in the meantime... We are slow but we keep on trying!

But, more seriously, every time I show something I did and I find someone that says "I'm going to do it myself as well" I feel honored. Thank you!
