    Idea for a new forum

    This is just a thought, and if history is any indication some of my idea do not float. Anyway, do you see any value in creating a forum for notworthy threads? I imagine threads with valuable information such as the history of NCWW, how to make a harpsicord, some safety threads, so historically...

    Cheap Wide Belt Sander...Really Cheap, Really Cool Idea

    I know you're bound to have clothes hanging on one of these in your bedroom or basement or taking up space in your garage. If not the Goodwill or Habitat RESTORE will have one. Get a piece of orphan granite from Craigslist and a belt of sandpaper to fit. Bob's yer uncle...

    Stocking stuffer idea ... Strap Sack

    We all have straps ... and almost all of us have straps that are tangled, mangled, and messed. Mine lived in a 5 gallon bucket all mixed and unmatched, knotted and split. Anytime I needed a strap, or when someone asked to borrow one, I cringed at the thought of untangling the blob of...

    Christmas gift idea!!!

    So there I was at work and looking through the calendar into the new year and trying to see when I wanted to be off next year. My driver started, then one and then the other guys on the truck. They were blown away by OUR CALENDAR! All of them have some interest in wood stuff and I never did...

    Simple idea

    I'm sure a lot of peoples shops are as dusty as mine. Saw this in a magazine, tried it out, and love it so had to share. Simple CD spindle, screwed into a shelf, to store tape in. I'll be adding a couple more to sort my tape. Now I wish I had one large enough for a roll of duct tape.

    Idea: Contests.....

    Gots an idea for creating a fun and simple weekly contest. "Guess the number of scraps in the offcut bin". We could feature different members scrap box every week. For fun, maybe even try to get some of our more famous members involved. Such as Greg Paolini, Brian Boggs or Scott Smith...

    Sawduster had a great idea

    Sawduster posted: I think this is something we should look to implement if the web team can figure a painless way. Maybe a special user name to PM that would send to the entire board.

    What do you all think of polling the members to find out their reasons for NOT being a corporate member?

    Cheap table saw mobile base idea

    Just thought I would share this with you guys, since it worked pretty well with both my table saws. Probably not as solid as a $200+ factory mobile base, but I'm still getting .001 accuracy with my jigs so thats all that matters with me. In a nutshell, I combined two Harbor Freight mobile...

    Idea for Off Topic Forum

    In the wee hours of the morning when I couldn't sleep I thought of an alteration for the Off Topic Forum. It would be renamed to Celebrations and Concerns. This way members that want to share new births, marriages, accomplishments, etc and those asking for moral support, prayers and...

    Picnic idea

    One idea for the picnic would be to have a sawyer bring a sawmill and mill up logs belonging to our members. It's not an original idea... I noticed that the Greenville SC Woodworkers guild did this at one of their past events, and it struck me as something pretty cool. I'd be happy to bring...

    Work shop idea

    Looking at the coping jig that Eric posted gave me an idea. We have a clamp work shop planned at Scott's this winter. How about a work shop to make those coping jigs? Since Eric is in Charlotte, that work shop could be there some where. It fits our mission on education. Anyway add this...

    Idea Time, Input Wanted

    :eusa_thinOkay, it's getting time for me to head out and fell a few trees this winter. Right now, I have a couple of what I'm sure will be Ambrosia Maples, two standing-dead Oaks, one Walnut on the ground and another standing live that I've been given to cut down.:eusa_danc When I'm going to...

    Idea for NCWW "event"

    To me, one of the coolest things about our org is the shop crawls. They are a great way to meet fellow members, experience new shops, and in general have a great day. As part of my shop outfitting program, I'm going to need to secure a quantity of hand screw clamps. Although they are available...

    Not the best idea I know

    I've got a bunch of Yellow Poplar on sticks air drying that I would like to use for outdoor porch railing. It's going to be painted so I really don't care what it looks like. Yellow Poplar --- "The wood is light, soft and easily worked. It is light yellow or brown, with wide...

    IDEA: Countdown timers....

    While surfing this jumped into my virtual lap: http://blog.woodworking-magazine.com/blog/Need+Wood+For+A+Workbench+Woodworking+In+America.aspx Scroll down to see the flash animation countdown timer. There are a handful of Vbulletin plugins that offer variations. Many let you add countdown...

    Christmas Project Idea Swap

    I see Christmas projects are starting to pop up. I'm starting this thread to see if people have ideas for Christmas gifts - not trying to limit people but let's say gifts that could be made in multiples and don't require large material outlays and don't require highly specialized equipment. My...

    Fun Contest idea.....

    What do ya'll think about opening up a "Rename FlashChat" contest? The winner gets ________. It'd also call attention to that feature of the site. Maybe foster some sharing and show folks they have a say in the site (touchy feely junk). We could also use it to also introduce the new...
