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.

Talking New TS Gloat
My first....table saw AND gloat, that is!



I went for the Hitachi C10FL. Was able to take advantage of the 15% off and $100 gift card rebate at Lowes (100 bones towards the planer!). So far, I am very pleased. Setup and adjustments were simple enough for a newbie. Came with a carbide tipped combination blade, and test cuts on some 1x oak and 3/4" ply looked good.

While I was there I picked up supplies for building a workbench. I found the plans in a book I bought a couple weeks ago. Made entirely out of 3/4" birch ply laminated together for strength with an MDF top. I have all the pieces cut and started to glue the first couple of pieces. This will also become the table saw outfeed to help me handle longer pieces. So I guess this will actually be my first project, not the bookcase.




Now were makin' sawdust

Re: New TS Gloat
Dave, I checked out that saw a bunch before pulling the trigger on my (clearance priced) JET at lowes. seems to be a really nicely featured machine, and you saved a bunch to boot! THAT ROCKS!

Congrats! There's nothing more exciting than getting a new tool and then using it to make something right away! Be sure to post some pics of the saw and the finished workbench too
