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.

After a long day of travel, I have arrived in Los Angeles. This is my first time in L.A., and I'll be teaching box making at the William Ng School of Fine Woodworking for the next week. L.A. seems just like it is in the movies. Fast and busy. It is different from Arkansas. I live in a town without stop lights. We don't even have a flashing yellow. In Eureka, there is no fast lane. No express. We have our own system of time. It is called Eureka time. I'll see if I can slow things down here for the next week so we can pay attention to our hands and make boxes. I may have some photos to show as the week progresses.
