North Carolina Woodworker is aimed primarily at Woodworkers in North Carolina. We will accept automatically users from NC, VA, TN, SC.
All others registrant's accounts will be put into Moderation, once they have verified their email address. Most of these registrants will be declined by our staff. This has nothing to do with you personally.. It has to do with our desire to maintain the local nature of our discussions, functions, etc.
However, we do accept non-residents in a few special cases.
People who, in the staff's judgment, offer special skills that are not represented in depth with our current membership.
People who have a special interest in woodworking in North Carolina and/or work in the state.
People who represent manufacturers and/or retail vendors of woodworking tools.
Other exceptions may be made as deemed appropriate by the staff of www.ncwoodworker.net
However, registrants that do not meet the automatic registration requirement , MUST provide information as to why they should be considered for non resident membership. This is done by filling in the "Non Resident Join Request" field of the registration application. Remember that a non resident registration is placed into moderation. When the staff reviews these accounts, their attention is placed on the "Non Resident Join Request" field. If it is NOT filled in, the registration will automatically be declined.
Member AnnouncementsIf you have an announcement of any kind that you want every member or visitor to see, this is the the place to put it
I have one opening in the upcoming "Jewelry Box with Handcut Dovetails" workshop. This is a 2-day workshop to make a lidded jewelry box with half blind dovetails and a half-mortise lock and key. The project will be out of quilted maple and Peruvian walnut. The workshops are $160/2 days. Members of TWA, EAIA, MWTCA and WGNC are eligible for a discount. There will be a materials fee (lumber, lock, hinges) in the range eof $50, although I have not made the final calculations. The workshop is not to teach dovetails, therefore participants need to have cut a half-blind dovetail by hand in the past to be able to get the most out of this workshop. As usual, I supply lunch both days, and a class manual. I also supply most if not all the tools necessary. We will use a tablesaw to cut the tops off the boxes, but other than that., all the work is with handtools and planes. If you are interested, give me a call asap.
