    Commission for a box

    Hello all! I'm looking for design ideas, and maybe a reference for someone to do some commission work. A friend of mine won an award for a team triathlon event. The trophy was in the form of a handcrafted knob... looks to be made of ceramic, with a threaded insert base. The pictures show the...

    MDF, Sewer Pipe, and an Earth-Shattering Kaboom!

    Just to prove that I'm still alive, and that I still get down to the shop from time to time: My home theater subwoofer project... My basement is divided in two parts - one half is the workshop and the other half is finished. In the finished half of the basement there is a wall which has for...

    I need FTP access again

    I was recently notified by the webmaster that I need to move my stuff off of the NCWW server. My humble little site (shootingboard.net) has been on the NCWW server almost since the beginning of NCWW... and unfortunately I've been neglecting it even more than I've been neglecting my shop lately...

    How should I tack this veneer back down?

    Approximately 50 year-old piece... refinishing... card scraper... should have zigged when I zagged... yea, I know better. :eusa_doh: I'm thinking hide glue? I don't have any experience with the stuff. Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks for the Klingspor Extravaganza

    I think that all who helped pull off the NCWW gathering this weekend deserve a big THANK YOU, as they really represented this organization well. :eusa_clap There were scheduled demos, great projects on display, and always someone to help others who were interested in learning about pen...

    New spammer - photopost comments

    I got a curious comment on an old photo, and it caught my attention. I noticed that the comment included a link to an Amazon store. It's not in the member's signature - it's in the body of the comment. I was curious how many of these comments had been posted... check it out: Recent photo...

    Changing of the Guard

    I regret to announce that I am stepping down from my role as webmaster of the forum. Some time ago, when Steve asked for volunteers to take on administrative roles on the forum, I had the interest, know-how, and time to help. Well, I still have the interest and the know-how, but not the time...

    Time for me to step down...

    I talked to Steve about this last week, but the recent events on the forum kept me from saying anything here until the smoke cleared a little. Lately my "day job" has become increasingly demanding of my time, and keeping up with the responsibilities of my job without sacrificing my role as a...

    Lessons learned - Photopost voting....

    .... in no particular order If the voting type is RATINGS, you have to enable both posting AND voting in that category before anyone can vote. I wanted people to be able to vote but not post comments, but enabling voting by itself won't work - you gotta have both. Also for RATINGS...

    "Snookered" theme...

    I figure it would be best to leave the moderating to the moderators - I'm not very good at knowing where to "draw the line" sometimes. I personally think the "snookered" theme is pretty close to the line. I've seen heated debates get started like this over on Woodnet, and I really don't want...

    Official 2008 NCWoodworker.net pinup calendar contest

    Well, folks... it's that time of year again! The hot weather is starting to break (well, at least in Hickory it is!), and that means that our old 2007 NCWoodworker.net pinup calendars will soon be "out of date". ;) There are still a few fine project pics for us to enjoy from the 2007...

    commercial members?

    We have a new member that just joined from Illinois (nickao65). He apparently just wants to promote his business. I seem to recall a while back that we would allow certain commercial out-of-state members for technical support or major vendors, but I'm not really sure about this... As it stands...

    Private messages

    Steve - I can't send private messages either. I don't know if that's still a problem for you. Did you find the reason, or would you like me to look into it? Along those same lines, you already know I'm willing to help out with the update - I just did the same upgrade myself... TWICE...
