btw, PF'ers, Google translate works well with German.

Here's the article's first paragraph:

On a cold November day, I have the very affable James Gilliam in his workshop in the Stuttgart area visited and may spend a great, instructive for me and especially mad lazy afternoon with him. Among other things, he talked about himself and about his career as a pipe maker, explains the art of pipe making and also demonstrated directly on the workpiece.

Well? It helps you get the gist

I was just pointing out with a sample that anyone so inclined could translate the entire article if they chose, and get a meaningful/readable result.

Just find and click the "translate" option on the Google homepage, paste the entire article, and poof. It's like magic.

Nice whistle, James.

[scotties22]

I must say, you really are quite dashing

[jogilli]

LL. I love magic... Use it ever so often myself

David and Scottie.

Enjoy. James

Whoa I had just got over the shock from the summer, and now I have to look at you again!

Well that's my Christmas ruined.

[jogilli]

And to think.... I was going to sign up for that portrait a day service and send you pics once a day until Christmas ... Like your own personal advents calendar.

That was great, James. But, where can one purchase a Gilliam handmade whistle? On your website, all I see are pipes.

[jogilli]

I only sale my whistle to ladies....


That's one of problems with online translation... Pfeifen also means to whistle... Translate pipe from English to German and you end up saying you have "handmade plumbing" One of the reasons I don't really like google translate... Sometimes it misses the translation... But you can still get the gist

OOoohhhhhhhh.......I want one!! I KNEW being a girl would pay off eventually

Wait, I got one of your whistles in the mail not too long ago.....a damned fine whistle it is too

[d.huber]

My Gilliam whistle smokes like a million bucks.

Heh….whistle….

I got ripped off! I have 10 German pipes and none of them whistle. Good article with the help of L.L.
