Richard Bazeley is having winter break between semesters in his classes down under (Australia). Here in Arkansas we are moving into the hot days of summer.
The photo shows one of Richard's 8th year students and his interesting stool/box. I wish I'd made that myself when I was his age. Richard comments about class size:

The class sizes were around 16 this semester and proved a lot easier to manage compared with the 24 size classes I have been used to in recent years. Anyone who says that class size is not a factor in student outcomes has not taught junior woodwork.
