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.

woodworker's showcase
All across eastern and central New York State, woodworkers are busy getting ready for the Woodworker's Showcase. Hundreds of woodworkers, members of the Northeastern Woodworker's Association will have works ready to exhibit and compete. Last year I was one of the judges and was amazed at the volume and quality of work. John Grossbohlin is working on a knitting chest of white oak and walnut as shown in the photo below and that should be finished just in the nick of time. The Showcase is probably the largest woodworking club function in the world, drawing a very large crowd for two days. There will be demonstrations, lectures, vendors selling tools, hands-on opportunities for kids and a huge assortment of fine work on display. March 28th & 29th, 2009 Saratoga Springs City Center, Saratoga Springs, NY.
