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.

Mario Nunez sent me this photo of one a student's finished CD rack, completed in the woodshop at Erie Community College. Mario says the best ones got away before photos were taken, but we need to remember that these were a first effort. Work gets better and faster with practice. And a first effort always shows a willingness to take risks and embark on adventure. I know many woodworkers who are unwilling to cut dovetails because they are afraid of failure. Mario, please extend to your students my congratulations on their effort and obvious success.
