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.

I received the bar height table base that Dino offered via Tom's offer to have it delivered to Raleigh. It is exactly what I need to make a relief carving bench that will take a heavy pounding. It's the nice round bottom type with the serious heavy duty pole like you would use for a basketball goal.
with the large base/pole option and signs of a bit of experience.
Thanks guys!
I will get proper pictures after I fashion a top and place it in my tiny shop. The latter part really won't be that bad. I have a couple of cabinets that have stubby legs so the base can slip under a little or be near in a corner without blocking drawers or doors from opening.
I'm glad you can put it to good use. It has been sitting behind the restaurant for a while and I thought of throwing it away several times. It was a few days after it had been picked up that I even noticed that it was gone. Good luck with it and lets see some pics.

I will probably have some shameful pics first as I will go ahead and attach a piece of scrap (and the s is optional ) as a small table to clamp things to pretty much right away. That's partly so I can work it into my current ongoing workshop reorg and stake it's claim to a little piece of real estate and partly because I do get a chance to carve every now and then and while I am reorganizing, all my surfaces are crowded. I have some drawers on the way that will help get that moving along better.
OK, as promised, here is a shameful pic of a temporary top. I have some rattle can Rustoleum and will paint the base in the next few days. I just did a little minor shaping to get a feel for how solid this is - like a rock!
