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.

We just finished day 2 of box making at the William Ng School of Fine Woodworking in L.A. My students are making great progress. Monday we made sleds and demonstration boxes. Today students started boxes of their own. Unless you've done some box making, you may not know the importance of perfect miters. If you have done box making, you will know something of the satisfaction my students feel this evening. And we still have 3 more days to go! The photos at left are of some of my students at work.
