Work with your hands. As a result, work on yourself. Spend time alone with your thoughts away from the clamor. See what you can make of the time at the bench. I can think of no better elixir for the cacophony that makes up a day in the world today. The Northwest Woodworking Studio

Gary,
Hope the school is doing well.Like Jim I find all sorts of balance with hand work vs. my paying job. I use woodworking metaphors and examples to assist people in developing life skills.
Borrowed a few thoughts from you. LOL! Gave you the credit as my source.

Thanks for the blog Gary, woodworking full time constantly reminds me how much personal insight from other woodworkers is needed to maintain course in this wonderful craft. It is through resources like this blog that make our work not so lonely afterall.
