This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

My improved bench hook is featured in the new Woodwork Magazine (April 07 number 104) It gives small children better accuracy in cutting parts to exact lengths. It has magnets to help guide the saw, giving the students a boost on keeping cuts square to the stock while also keeping their hands safe. This bench hook is the third generation of bench hooks in the Clear Spring School woodshop. No doubt it will be further refined. If you are not a subscriber to Woodwork, you can get a free trial issue by following the link above. Look for a very brief article about the Clear Spring School woodshop in the next issue of Woodcraft Magazine, too.
