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.

my friend George...
As you can see, the hands have the power to step in where other senses are impaired. The click rule shown in the second video would be of value to anyone attempting to do precise work.
This afternoon I take workbenches, tools and supplies to Eureka Palooza, a Clear Spring School sponsored music festival where I will do woodworking activities with kids. Then this evening, I will take benches and tools to a solstice walk where I will be one of the senior mentors offering "wisdom" to participants. I, of course, will offer the opportunity for attendees to garner wisdom from their own hands.
Make, fix and create...
