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.

Today in the Clear Spring wood shop the 7th through 10th grade students with a couple 12th graders thrown in for good measure began scroll sawing puzzle maps of American territorial expansion. since we only have 3 scroll saws to keep such a large class busy required a second project, so we started making Sloyd plant stands from the Alfred Johansson Fundamental series 1890.
I have an internship student Dylan, who is working with me in my shop to learn the business and the life of a professional woodworker. Dylan is interested in turning wood and is working to develop a line of turned tops that can be sold in his mother's store. I'll show photos later.
