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
There's nothing like meeting Cathy and John Skipper to brighten a rainy dreary Sunday afternoon..not even saving 40% at Rockler which was fantastic! It was so much fun to shop together! Note John's empty wallet in the photo. I'm sure gloats will follow from them and for sure from me too!
Not much left at Rocker, so if you're going better get on over there. The wood is still a bit pricey but pen and bowl stock still beautiful!
What a blast!!!! It was great meeting Barbara and her daughter!!! John was truly in trouble. We shopped and then had coffee (and John and I had dessert) and visited more. Plus, Barbara sent her DeWalt scroll saw back with me for 1) a chance to really see how I like it and 2) a guarantee we'll get together again (like any extra incentive will be needed!). I bought some wood - wide maple at the right thickness for my trivets - or whatever they are, a couple of turning blanks and John picked up some odds and ends. Pictures will follow. Ya'll be forwarned, together we could will be dangerous !
