As an interesting and inspiring example of the "Wisdom of the Hands," I want to share some photos of work by Dave Albrektson. Dave is blind and operates by sense of touch. Below, you will see photos of his work and also a photo from Dave that may help you to "grasp" some of what we studied this last week at Marc Adams School.
I had my students doing measuring using exact feel of dimensions and using story sticks for tool set up and referencing left and right. While Dave is blind, most of us as we age lose some of our visual acuity and the sense of feel becomes of interest to us all in maintaining a desired level of precision. Thank you Dave for your inspiration.
