Residency requirements

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.

Fireplace built-ins
Here are some pictures of the last big project I did of a fireplace built in unit for my neighbor. He bought the materials. I cut, glued and installed and he and his wife stained.

The cabinets are made of mostly oak faced plywood. The sides are 3/4" and the back is 1/4" material. The face frames and doors are constructed of 1X material and the unit is finished in honey oak with 2 coats of wipe on poly.

Re: Fireplace built-ins
Grant,

Awesome work. The built-ins are beautiful. Any details about wood? Technique? Finish?

Re: Fireplace built-ins
Beautiful work, Grant! I like the way your finish so closely resembles the finish on the mantel. (I am currently have a TV stand on the go for one of my daughters and also using oak ply and 1x oak for the trim. I will have to keep your finish in mind. whenever I reach that point)

Thanks for the pics,

Wayne

Re: Fireplace built-ins
Wow, Grant, I love the symmetry, the color matching and the way you tied it all together. Very nice stuff there!

I've never done built-ins but would like to try it some day.

Nice neighborly act if you ask me!!

Scribing?

I am assuming you are referring to the fit-up between the brick and the plywood. There was actually no scribing done at all. The sides of the fireplace were really smooth except for a few spots that we knocked off with a chisel and a hammer.

Nice built-ins there Grant. It seems that Red Oak is really making a comeback in homes these days, especially in the Midwest huh? They do turn out to be some real nice pieces. Good work.
