Doug Stowe is a hero of mine who is a champion for getting young kids to build things with wood. His blog (wisdomofhands.blogspot.com) is a wonderful collection of thoughts on education and the need for kids to make things with their hands.
He has a set of plans for making a child friendly bench hook for helping to do three things.
- Helping them saw more accurately. – Accurate cuts make better looking and performing projects. Success builds pride and confidence.
- Helping them saw more effortlessly. – Builds the enjoyment.
- Helping to keep hands safe.
