And once, after digging my way into a corner to get at something, I turned around to find myself completely trapped. I felt a little like Mary Anne, Mike Mulligan's steam shovel, and did sit down for a few minutes and think "maybe I should just stay here..."<br /><br />I'll try to make those pictures happen this weekend.<br /><br />Bob - Thanks, and yes looking ahead does help. So does looking back. It's the "now" that is killing me :)<br /><br />In fact, it's kind of funny - at home I have too much stuff everywhere, and I try to look forward to having some order and space again. While at school, I basically have an empty room and dream about what it will look like with stuff in it.<br /><br />And yes, teaching woodworking is very, very cool.<br /><br />Trevor - I'd be glad to talk more about teaching woodworking once things settle down a bit. Not only is it my first time teaching this (other than individually), but our entire school is brand new this year. It is a Waldorf inspired school and handwork is a key component of the curriculum. It is very exciting, but keeping me very busy!<br /><br />I teach woodworking with 5th, 6th and 7th graders (there is no 8th grade this year). If you haven't yet read "Woodworking with Kids" by Richard Starr, I'd highly recommend it. Loads of insight and info.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-62840720179707776342010-10-01T05:50:57.822-08:002010-10-01T05:50:57.822-08:00Hey Dan,

It's limiting my space and I can see a nice 18th C. workbench going where it sits. I have decisions to make...<br /><br />Anyways, I'm also going to grad school to become an industrial arts teacher for high school. I'd like to learn a little more about the woodworking class you're teaching to 6th graders. I want to set something like this up either after school or as a course someday when I get to teaching. I already have an in at a particular high school. <br /><br />Thanks Dan, and no rush.<br />trevorTrevor Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15489902404696378903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-87904749583674523922010-10-01T03:43:22.451-08:002010-10-01T03:43:22.451-08:00Hang in there Dan.

My shop didn't even exist for a couple of years. There was so much remodeling of every other room to do that I wasn't able to even set up the workbench. I basically took almost 2 years off from woodworking (if you don't count carpentry as woodworking). But I had the room picked out and I had a vision, and that kept me motivated.<br /><br />And you get to teach woodworking! How cool is that!?Bob Rozaieskihttp://www.logancabinetshoppe.com/blog.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-44805500897842711402010-10-01T00:59:29.308-08:002010-10-01T00:59:29.308-08:00Dan we need some serious photos!
