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.

Building The TotalBoat Sport Dory
This video series Building the TotalBoat dory features shipwright Lou Sauzedde. He is a very good instructor. The series is effective and worth watching, even if you never plan to build a boat.
The point is simple. We learn by doing real things. So let's do something. You may choose to learn a few things first through a bit of instruction. It may lead to having some expertise of your own that you can share.
In this particular episode, Lou scarf joins plywood while building a strongback for building dories. Other episodes show the designing of the boat on paper and the milling of logs to provide the material for building boats. An earlier season illustrates building a skiff.
Make, fix, and create. Inspire others to learn likewise.
