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.

Here's a quick photo of girls at work at Marc Adams School of Woodworking. Donna has just finished a cut on the table saw intended to begin liberating the lid from the base of her box, and now she's making the final cut with a knife. She had been a bit shy around table saws before this class. "I noticed what you did," she said. "You showed me how to do it, and then walked away making sure I did it for myself." Thanks for the photo Verna.
table saws scare me too.
