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 in the css woodshop...
Today in the Clears Spring School wood shop, the upper elementary students made desk organizers like that shown below. The high school students began making the fret boards for their cigar box guitars.
Among most useful tools in the Clear Spring School wood shop are our sanding sticks which consist of pieces of wood wrapped in sanding belt held in place with common upholstery tacks. Each year at this time I replace the sanding belts.
Make, fix and create...
