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 about time
About 2 1/2 years ago, I bought Emmert work alike vise from Lee Valley. It was called the Veritas Tucker vise. Since then it has been sitting in it shipping box under the Table saw extension. It just never seemed the right time to do improvements on my bench.

I finally completed wall cabinets and shelves in the shop and started getting things off the floor and into them, when I came across the vise. I was about to move the box to somewhere else so I have room to build the cabinet under the tablesaw extension.

Then it dawned on me that I wouldn't have to keep moving the box from place to place, if I just went ahead and mounted it






Oh and guess what else was there. A vertias twin screw vise Guess what's next on my to do list

Re: It's about time
I think this is one of the dark secrets of woodworking... or maybe it's just symptomatic of WoodGuy Disease. We buy things and they sit under something somewhere in the shop... not installed for long periods of time. (Probably some interesting / embarrassing stories here...)

It must be like Christmas in your shop everyday, with all the tools you've bought and lost...only to find again

Hey Steve, YOU SUCK!!
I feel really sorry for you. Do you want me to come over and clean up some of that "clutter" you've got under the bench?? I know a good place I could "dump" it!

Nice job on the Tucker vise Steve, if you don't feel like installing the Veritas I'm interested in purchasing it.

If you had that in an index fund instead of under a table in your shop, just think what could have been.
