    NC State Craft Center?

    State Fair Entry

    This year I entered my Maloof low back side chair in the NC State Fair. The chair won 3rd place in the professional division for large furniture. This was my first time entering the professional category as when I entered a rocker in 2009, I had not sold any pieces and entered as an amateur...

    Penn State Tempest S Cyclone

    I am starting my search for a cyclone DC to replace my 3hp Reliant bag type collector. Looked at Oneida, Clearvue, Grizzly, Shop Fox, and Penn State. The 3.5 hp Tempest S from Penn State has some pretty good specs for a reasonable price ($1125.00). Most of the other brands are a bit more...

    How Do I Edit City, State, County?

    I cannot seem to locate where I update City, State, and County info. If I go to User Settings, then Your Profile, I can see them listed under Location Public, but I cannot find where to edit them. I would think it would be under Edit Your Details, but I don't see them.

    Penn State Cyclones

    Can anyone give me any personal experience with Penn State cyclones? I am seriously considering upgrading from my 1.5hp single stage to a cyclone. My budget will be around $1000 and Penn State has several in that price range. I was also looking at Onedia, but solely based on specs, they...

    Penn State Industries=Great customer service

    Went to mount a blank on my screw chuck that came with my Barracuda 2 chuck, discovered that it's slightly bent. Contacted PSI yesterday for a replacement, they couldn't find my invoice. I stated that I purchased it from Amazon last year, and was willing to pay for it. I wasn't expecting a...

    NC State Law on Raffles

    Here is the language from the NC General Statutes on Raffles. Probably the most interesting restriction is the final sentence, which may restrict our conducting the drawing at the picnic (but I guess we could use the net proceeds from a different raffle, right?) § 14-309.15.Raffles. (a) It is...

    New, ultra modern, high tech, state of the art, depth gauge

    I decided to try and make a depth gauge for when I make boxes. Below is a picture of what I came up with. Simple, but it seems to do the trick. It also works for small, repeat small, bowls.

    State fans will love what I did to my lathe

    I have the Rockler Excelsior, which is the same casting as the PSI Turncrafter lathes. Rockler sells the extension for $70 (to be fair, it is often on sale for $60) plus shipping and it ain't light. It is about $80 or more to the door from Rockler. The PSI can be ordered through Amazon for $42...
