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.

Question
I returned to RTP from Charlotte Woodworking show on I-85 Saturday ~2:30-3:30 pm. As I rode east from Charlotte Speedway exit to Salisbury, fire trucks and/or EMS vehicles were on EVERY overpass. Some were inside their vehicles, while others were outside peering over. Almost all of them were over the west bound lanes.

I'm aware of the tragic death of two firemen last week. Guess that could have been related. And I know that occasionally dangerous materials are escorted via interstate . . . though I never saw any.

Totally puzzled
Roger

The bodies of the two firefighters who died in a fire Friday in Salisbury were being transported to Charlotte. The firetrucks were on all bridges showing their support.

Thanks for solving the mystery, Tracey!

A well-deserved tribute to those who choose to protect our lives and property at the risk of their own.
