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.

Off Topic Our new off topic forum. This is the place to discuss non-woodworking or non-site related topics. Be advised that the posting rules for this forum are same as all other forums.

Talking
I went to the Auction yesterday. They had two sections, Household Items and Workshop Items with the Household Items auctioned first.

The tool selection was pretty good, The guy had a nice shop. However, I got the feeling that most of the crowd was there for the shop items and not the Household Items.

Bidding started on the household items very slow and items had to be combined in large lots to generate any bids. Which was a very good sign. I had spotted an antique phone that I wanted to bid on and waited patiently.

About an hour later I walked away with a Kellogg phone, with all the original parts (minus dry cells)

Being a Telecom Manager to support my shop habits, I just couldn't resist.






Unfortunately, I had to leave before the bidding began on the shop tools. I tried to get back in time but missed it. Oh Well, I came away with a toy anyway

Nice snag on the phone Wayne, old phone stuff is cool. I used to have a '40s era mahogany phone booth and I loved it. That is gonna make a great decoration.

Great looking phone!. Auctioneers have a way of reading a crowd and their mechandise. They will usually hold the items they think everyone is most interested in until the last thing to hold the crowd there.

I actually did work a cord board in my younger days. 608D Western Electric to be exact.

Very cool. Even cooler if you put it in the workshop and make it function like an intercom or something. Regardless, very cool. I like stuff like that.

I guess you suck off-topic!!

I figured you might have, and you have just admitted (at least to me) how old you are by that very fact.

Roger,

Looks like between 1901 and 1913. It has a patent date on it of 1901, but I think a lot of the phone then had the same patent date on them.
