this morning, day two

I am at the Marc Adams School of Woodworking spending part of my time in Stowe Hall, the bench room temporarily named in my honor. The signage is a special touch offered by Marc to each of his instructors as we pass through and teach. 

I learned yesterday that Matt Crawford will write the introduction to my new book. Matt is the author of Shop Class as Soulcraft, a New York Times best seller. I'm pleased and honored as Matt has become an old friend.

In the wood shop yesterday my students began making mitered boxes after we laid some groundwork using the principles and elements of design. Today, in addition to assembling the boxes we made yesterday, we'll begin finger jointed boxes.

Make, fix and create.
