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.

bridle joints
Today I've been doing prep work for next week's Clear Spring School classes, getting ready for small show and demonstration of my work at the Eureka Springs School of the Arts tomorrow and I have been finishing up the bridle joints for making Green and Green inspired drawer fronts for a friend's home. The wood is cherry. You can see the grooves cut to house tongue and groove pieces that will fill between the borders. It is a simple joint, fairly easy to cut using a table saw and tenoning jig. And it will last many years.
And it's also not as easy to get it right as you made it look!
