set loose

In my box making class at Marc Adams School of Woodworking, I have 16 students, now with some initial instruction, and all busy making boxes. This class is rather unique in that students will be making boxes of their own design, using the school's tools, jigs and fixtures I've made, and techniques that they have been taught in the class. The photo shows my students during "safety talk" in which students are given the rules for safe use of tools.

They're not actually "set loose," however, in that constant attention is given to oversight on their safe use of tools.

Make, fix, create, and enable others to do the same.
