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.

Today, I finished my part of the Rustic Furniture Basics DVD. I finished my 6th book last week, and have started my 6th decade today. So I am entering a brief stage of consideration. I will thoughtfully consider what comes next.
Yesterday I had a brief scare. I started making the chair as shown and it was wiggly. So I added additional bracing. For a few minutes I wondered whether what I had planned was all wrong. But after you've made enough mistakes, and when you know that mistakes are what lead you to refinement and reflection, you begin to appreciate them. So, this isn't my favorite chair but it is complete. Come on over and you can sit in it.
