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.

It's DaveO's fault
I was sanding along a few weeks ago, and all of a sudden my RAO sander decides to die.

Ok well I have had it for a while, so I gave it a burial and laid it to rest. ( I threw in the trash)

That evening I am reading one of my new woodworking rags and low and below they have tested a bunch of RAO sanders.
That got my attention so I read the article.
Next day DaveO makes a posting in another topic indicating this article.
I just found it too funny.
I had just ordered the #2 pick.



Here she is. Gave it a test run for about 10 minutes yesterday. Not bad at all.
I really like that they give you two different mounting pads.
1. for Hook and loop type pads
and
2. another pad for the stick on sand paper.
Man that is really neat.
the variable speed control is kind of cool too. I think what I really liked was that I was sanding with 60 grit and all of the dust was being trapped by it's dust collector.
I think that I might just like this one.

Re: It's DaveO's fault
Amazon.com and it's allot cheaper than the Porter Cable that was rated number one.
But the difference between the two didn't justify the expense

I think you made the better choice too. I can see holding the PC on vertical surfaces to be a chore without the neck to grasp.

I'll take this one in stride. Now I wish I was in the market for a new ROS. The Milwaukee sems like a great buy.
Nice snag Mac, you rock!!!

Nice score Mac!

I KNOW that Bas has influenced me into buying tools, I'm not sure about Dave though. Oh well, it'll happen sooner or later.
