22 days

People ask about hand tool woodworking, and there's no better way to start, even as adults, than with some of the projects featured in my book, The Guide to Woodworking with Kids: Craft projects to Develop the lifelong Skills of Young Makers. It features a number of box making designs that can be crafted with simple joinery and can of course lead to other things. 

Your creative imagination deserves an starting point and simple is good. We now have 22 creative days yet to pass before Xmas. You can, of course, spend your time shopping, or better spend it developing skills and gifts to others. Featured in the photo is a pencil box I made for my own use, and as a demonstration box for the kids at the Clear Spring School.

Make, fix and create...
