Today my elementary school students will be beginning a project making clocks. Our teachers want them to be able to read a clock, and what better way than to have made their own? We will go over the project this morning and the lesson will also commence in their math study. These will be free standing clocks and you'll see the results at a future date.
In high school, my students will continue making longboards. Some are defining the shape. Others will be routing and sanding the edges of their boards.
Tonight I'll digitally attend a meeting of the Central Arkansas Woodworker's Club. They plan to show a video produced about my work by Charles Brock, and then I'll lead them on a shop tour and offer some Q&A opportunity.
The clock shown was made by one of my students in 2007.
Make, fix, and create... Give others the opportunity to learn likewise.
Add writing in cursive and driving a stick shift and you'll be doing amazing things! But seriously, a clock is one more mental challenge, like pushups for the brain.
