Spyker Manufacturing's insight: With so many school losing funding for what used to be considered essential skills classes it is encouraging to find that Big Box stores are finding ways to fill the gap. Our children are growing up in a time immersed in technology that grabs their attention in every waking moment. Their eyes seem perpetually tied to a computer screen or a mobile device. They need to get outside, learn to use their imaginations, learn to use their hands for useful things. It may not seem like learning basic woodworking skills are essential for modern life, but they are skills which may one day come in handy once they reach adulthood. We are running out of "handy", skilled people. Wouldn't you feel proud to know you contributed to your child getting a well rounded education in mind and body?    CNC Color Portfolio for Woodworkers to Make Debut at AWFS Fair - woodworkingnetwork.com From www.woodworkingnetwork.com - May 31, 1:54 PM CNC Color Portfolio for Woodworkers to Make Debut at AWFS Fair woodworkingnetwork.com click image to zoom Laguna Tools IRVINE, CA - A free, downloadable color portfolio featuring the latest in CNC (computer numerical control) woodworking technology...
