While I do not yet have a house and therefor a shop, I do miss this community. However, I found the Northeastern Woodworkers Association and visited them last night.
It has similarities to NCWW, but is very different at the same time.
Membership cost $60/annually. Their physical presence is bigger than their on-line. They have a facility which houses a lot of machinery. This includes multiple scroll saws, mini-lathes, large Powermatic lathes, Sharpening equipment, band saws, planers, joiners, belt and disc sanders, a couple of Sawstop table saws, router tables, drill presses and a lot of supplies. There are classes on how to use the machinery and they are always on the look out for mentors.
The reach in not as wide as NCWW, i.e. state-wide +. They are committed to education, community and charitable involvement (e,g. they also make urns for vets) and they support sub-groups such as carvers and turners.
If people are interested I will report more on this group.
