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.

This is the second footstool for chapter 4, glued and clamped and ready for the next step.. It will be trimmed one inch shorter at the base, and about 1 1/2" will be trimmed off the tops of the legs. Then it will be sanded, finished in Danish Oil and upholstered in seagrass twine. I had so much fun with the Shaker tape on yesterday's project, I am looking for more opportunities to use it. Woodworking is so much fun, it amazes me that people would spend their time watching television when they could be experiencing the pleasure of craftsmanship.
