day 4...

I concluded my fourth day of box making at Marc Adams School of Woodworking and completely forgot to take photos to record our progress. I have about 6 unfinished boxes in the  works, and have had fun, too. When you have students that are interested in everything you teach, it presents a marked contrast with what public school teachers often find in their classes. There is no distinction between how adults and children learn. Both learn best, hands on, doing real things that match the direction of their interests. Children are hard wired to learn, and we install road blocks to learning when we restrain them in boring and unproductive activities in school. The photo is from yesterday. The box joint jig for router is one I made in last year's class and is working perfectly having already made dozens of boxes.

Make, fix and create...
