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.

The hypothetical air cleaner has become reality!



This evening, Scott, Wayne and Steve came by to help install the beast. It wasn't terribly heavy, but I'm glad there were three of us (Steve was unloading the tools..) to align it with all the hooks. Scott, Wayne - THANKS! It's so nice to have shop elves

Of course, that took about 5 minutes. The remaining hour and a half were spent on shop talk



I think I need to work on my seating facilities in the shop. Getting a good shop stool later this month, that's a start.

Steve brought this along to help with the installation.

Not quite sure yet how to use it, but I'll figure it out over the next week or so (THANKS STEVE!!!). Also need to stop by Lowe's to get a small hex key for adjusting the bar ("Sorry honey, I had to go look at tools, Steve made me do it....")

All in all I'd say this was a fairly successful evening

Couldn't have said it any better myself! Congrats on both the air filter and the assistance of the elves.

Congrats Bas, An Airfilter is something that you almost Have to have where your shop is.
By the photos I couldn't tell if there were any windows or outside doors.
SO that monster should do you very very well.
mmmm clean air!!!
Hey let me know how you like that miter guage/fence, I'm torn right now as to which one I am going to go after.
osborne, kreg or incra.
Oh I almost forgot I like that drill press cabinet. Good job

Very nice! I have to get a new remote for mine. It was a long dowel to reach the off/on switch, but it keeps getting used in projects and now it's too short.

Oh yeah - tu combibas!

Suckage all around, Bas! For your TOOL acquisition and to the elves for helping out.
Looks like more coffee drinking than work going on though.

You may want to get tips from DaveO on how to make the elves more productive.

The force is strong with Darth! He keeps any stray shavings from the planer from falling behind the well tank, thus keeping the shop clean! He uses his Jedi powers to simply deflect the wood chips (wave hand)
