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.

Making a knife box SD 480p
This simple band sawn knife box was featured in Woodcraft Magazine in September 2007. Two versions were offered, one in spalted maple and the other redwood with portions colored with leather dye. It illustrates the use of articulated barrel hinges and a flipping story stick to assure that the hinge holes are in perfect alignment. It's worth watching for that reason alone, as the same technique is useful for mini barrel hinges often used by box makers.
