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 3 presentations today at Woodworkers Showcase, one on box making, one on furniture design and one on woodworking with kids. The photos at left are of my fellow jurors this morning, and the woodworking with kids section where they were making tool totes, sometimes with a parent's guiding hand to help with the hammer. There was a huge crowd on the main floor looking for great deals from tool and material suppliers. I sold a few books and visited with a few fans. It is an amazing thing to hear from woodworkers that my books and articles have added meaning to their work and lives.
