The Apprenticeship Begins

Mariana wants to learn woodworking. I told her that she can start helping me in the workshop when she is three years old.

Today, I showed her how to drill holes the way they did it a hundred years ago. She knows which part is sharp. She also knows which parts can pinch. That is a pretty good start.

Mariana is 3 years old!

Blue and Green Shaker Boxes

I have given away several sets of Shaker oval boxes, and I decided it was time to make some to keep for myself. They have maple sides with pine tops and bottoms.
