Today with the Diablo Woodworkers, we cut more mortises in the front legs, arms and seat sides. Our discussion of furniture design was very animated in the morning, and it was exciting for me to see such enthusiasm. Tomorrow evening I'll meet with a group of woodworking teachers and educators to help stimulate some interest in working with the Diablo club to create an area high school woodworking competition. As you may know, I do love the opportunity to discuss the relationship between the hands and learning. Keep your fingers crossed please that the discussion helps to build confidence in the value of woodworking programs in schools. The photos above were taken in today's class
