before students arrive...

My bench room for this week's class.

This afternoon I unloaded a few things at Marc Adams School of Woodworking and got things set up for class to begin at 8 AM tomorrow morning. Anyone who's not been to Marc's School would be amazed at this facility. I'll have 14 students and three assistants for the course of the week, Tuesday through Saturday.

I always start my classes with a discussion of design and have an exercise through which I get my students to think creatively about box making. My students normally make several boxes during the week.

I took these photos above and below so you can see things before the students arrive. Tomorrow we'll be busy.

Make, fix and create...
