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.

I made a little progress today on Lucy's toolbox to take back to Columbia in NYC. It is a Christmas present, but also an excuse to write an article about the lack of real tools in colleges and universities. I used 1/2" thick foam board in two layers to make the dividers to hold the tools in place, using the scroll saw to cut and remove the shapes of the tools. I used Donjer Flocking and adhesive to "flock" the interior. It is a cheap, easy and quick solution to lining a complex shape. Tomorrow I make the box to put it in.
