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.

Attended John's chairmaking class this weekend. I highly recommend it without any reservations! John is a very good teacher and an even better chairmaker. Having never made a chair and having only experience in semi-commercial cabinetry, this class was great! After this first experience, I am planning to slightly change the chair design to adapt it to dinning room chairs. I will make six of them for my dinning room.
John is a most gracious host, has a well equipped shop and all neccesary tools are available in multiples. I had a great time and acquired a wealth of tips, tricks and related info. The only regret I have is to live too far away to visit more often.
Sounds like you had a great experience. I agree John is a good teacher. I will be interested in how you modifiy this for dining chairs... I may be doing that myself at some point.

A side chair could be very simple to make. I'd shift the leg spread down to 1" and leave off the arms. It would be a very attractive and simple side chair. I'm starting my work on a settee version of the chair the guys just made out of sapela.

Hi Bernhard, add my Kudos to John's credits. (Sorry about the Padauk dust, John and everyone) The only thing wrong is that Ive always been a flat surface furniture guy and I'm having to aquire more tools. Oh well, It will be worth it if my efforts turn out anywhere near John's.
And your chair looks great already Bernhard, you need two arm chairs for your set anyway.
I only took pics during the design day. There was way too much dust in the shop during the jointery day (Sunday) for me to have my camera down there.
Hopefully the guys will take some pics of there chairs as they stand and post.
BTW, Jerry I didn't break out!!!!!!!! I might be alright with Paduk after all.
John
