Hello to my friends from Finland.  My great-grandparents were immigrants to the USA - family name Pietila.  My great grandmother spoke little English and my grandfather, unfortunately, did not pass much of any Finnish language to his children.  We learned the important things like sauna and Sisu, but that's about it.

 

I have a set of old wooden skis brought over from Finland and they have become unusable and damaged over the years of changing hands.  Maybe I can find a way to make a guitar neck or several from them.  :)

 

Kiitos!

Ok Justin :)

Jarmo, morro
Yeah my Finnish typing is not so good, but I can say it. It was American slang that I brought to my Finnish friends and we translated it.

Hi Justin

Well Forssa is not far away from here where i live, place name is Lieto, it is about 70km to Turku from Forssa.

Judge Bone a.ka. Hannu "Tuomari" Nurmio.
I saw some pictures from him and his guitar looks like CBG.

:D What is that ?

" Mita, onko sulla heikka pillusa? "
Somebody told you that Finnish aphorism?
I have never heard it, but it is quite fun :)

Little correction:

it is going in Finnish " Mitä, onko sinulla hiekkaa pillussa? "
and if you not know what that word means in English ....

"What, do you have sand in your pussy? "

:D

I was an exchange student living in Forssa, Finland in 2000. I went back to visit friends in 2008 and saw Judge Bone play in Helsinki, I am pretty sure he was playing a 6 string cigar box. Since then I have been obsessed.
Mita, onko sulla heikka pillusa?
