    Lie Nielsen Event NCSU Craft Center Jan 20-12

    If you've ever wanted to test drive any or all the LN products, this is your chance. I went last year, having never touched a LN tool, and it cost me some money. They had pine or popular to make shavings with, but if you're interested in figured wood, better bring your own. Here's a link...

    Closed thread for Raleigh Klingspor event

    I closed the thread on the Raleigh posts. Maybe it will be less confusing if we title the Hickory show starting like "Hickory Woodworking Extravaganza".

    Agri Civic Center Event

    Getting NCWW members to commit is like herding cats. My suggest is to start pushing and create a demo schedule which you keep public so folks know who and what is demoing. Some members do better with a push so I would PM folks like the following and ask if they can help: Sawman101 PeteM TedAS...

    There is a NC Turning Organization that host a symposium every year. Rob and I attended in 2009 and sold a few raffle tickets. Not a big money maker even though we did manage to sell a couple raffle tickets to a lady and gentleman from CA. More important then that we gained a few new members...
