Bonjour à tous

Bonjour à tous - hello to all!
My name is Mario and i was invited to join this forum by Michel and Adrien. Well, i don't speak a word in French, sorry, anyhow i'll try to post as good as i can in English. I hope thats OK for you. I won't use a translator because the results are mostly horrible. I hope the language barrier can be broken somehow...

I am a 51 year old German, a skilled goldsmith since 1984. I enjoy hand made jewelry in every manner and i would love to learn from you.
Mario

Dear Mario,

I am V E R Y happy to receive you in this forum, and be sure we will speak a good english ( and you will learn........ french..... )

The most important is to speak about work meticulously hand-crafted...in french, in english, in japanese language.

It will be always a great pleasure to read your writting and to see your work.

... ich spreche ein bischen Deutsh ; ich habe es im Gymnasium gelernt , aber jetzt habe ich alles vergessen ...

Read you soon , have a good night

Hi,

I will translate the subject of some posts you might writte in cause I don;t know if you try to look at all the posts :

- "daily landscapes of our members at the four corners of the planet" : we put pictures we haven taken of our city our home our pets...
https://bijouxalacheville.forumactif.org/sujets-libres-et-philosophies-f11/les-paysages-quotidiens-de-nos-membres-aux-quatre-coins-de-la-planete-t229-45.htm#2448

- "Indian ink and varnish and sawing" : about one of Michel jewel but we now discuss the differences / meanings / feelings of belonging between craftman and artist.
https://bijouxalacheville.forumactif.org/techniques-et-etapes-de-travail-f4/encre-de-chine-et-verniset-decoupage-t238-30.htm

- "hallmark / stamp" : we discussed the different stamps and what was needed to get them now it is more about should there be a diploma to be recognised as a craftman and / or to be able to get the hallmark.
https://bijouxalacheville.forumactif.org/outils-et-outillages-f3/poincon-de-maitre-t243.htm

- "fifty times the same thing... no but why" : here michel tries to explain why it is better to use only hand made and not casting, now we are looking for physical traits that make the laminated metal better than the molded one.
https://bijouxalacheville.forumactif.org/sujets-libres-et-philosophies-f11/cinquante-fois-la-meme-chosenon-mais-pourquoi-t241.htm

Hope this helps...

Have a nice day!!!

Adrien

Ich bin sehr überrascht - freudig überrascht. Ich kenne mich mit den Gepflogenheiten in diesem Forum noch nicht aus, darum weiss ich nicht, ob man hier Du oder Sie sagt. Wie auch immer, vielen Dank für das freundliche Willkommen!
Mario

Man hier Du sagt aber einige Sie sagen.

Guten Abend Mario ,

Hier , sind wir gewohnt "Du" zu sagen .
Vielen Dank für Deine Teilnahme an unserem Forum .

Mario a écrit qu'il était enthousiasmé , mais ne connaissant pas les habitudes du forum ne savait donc s'il devait tutoyer ou vouvoyer .
Je lui ai répondu qu'on se tutoyait en général , LZX a nuancé davantage en répondant que certains vouvoyaient
Je l'ai remercié pour sa participation au forum .

Hello Mario, I'm sorry, but my english is not very good, and my german is worse ! but I'm very glad to say you "willkommen" ! I hope that's correct !

Hello Mario. Thank to joining us and so open your horizon.
