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.

clamps
I know the cliche about not having enough clamps, but I really don't and I had abut 14 frame and panel doors to glue up. Here's a quick and easy jig I made to get the job done. I'm sure others have come up with the same idea, but I thought I'd share it.






It's just a wedge system, but I was able to clamp multiple doors at the same time.

Re: clamps
That's a really good idea. Wedge clamping has been around for a long time, but I don't think that I have ever seen it executed like that. You should really consider sending that in to some of the woodworking publications...I see a top tip, easily
