Greetings from Fayetteville everyone. I stumbled across this site this morning while searching the web and I am glad I did. It looks to be a very impressive site that is regionally focused which is one of the things I like about it. I hope to visit the site often to read the posts and hopefully contribute as well. I believe the reason I listed for joining in my profile was to get woodworking news but I also hope to meet fellow woodworkers in my area as well.
About 4-years ago upon my return to Fayetteville I finally got around to adding a 26 x 32 detached garage behind the house and have been working ever since, when time permits, on finishing the inside to use as a shop. Along the way I have been upgrading and adding to my collection of tools to the point that I just about have everything I need (if that's truly possible ;-)) to start on some bigger projects. In the past I have mainly focused on building smaller gift type items but now I am looking forward to building some new kitchen cabinets and a bedroom suit based off of Wood Magazine's sleigh bed plans.
As for woodworking, I think the biggest frustration for me is being able to locate local sources for things like hardwood lumber, project supplies and hardware. I seem to do a lot of online shopping along with road trips to places like Raleigh to find supplies and lumber. Hopefully some of the kind folks here will be able to point me in the right direction to some additional local resources.
