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.

Shown in the photo above is the box I made at the workshop in Indiana. I sanded it and applied the oil finish this afternoon. The demonstrations involved in making this box, were resawing, corner matchining, making cross-cut and miter sleds, making raised panel floating tops, mitering sides, assembly without clamps, keyed-miter joints, cutting the lid from base, installing hinges with the "flipping-story stick technique, and making your own lid stay.
