Learning

[Ed62]

It wasn't long ago, there was a thread about one of our members who just wasn't cut out for woodworking. It made me think about what a person could accomplish when he/she doesn't have natural ability to tackle certain things.

Following is a link to a video one of my sons put on youtube. We had 5 sons, and he was not the first I'd expect to do much of anything in construction, since I wasn't sure he could ever drive a nail correctly. Persistence really makes a difference, and he learned more than a lot by making mistakes, and correcting them. Check out the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85y-zM-F9z8

His projects turned out to be very unique. That's quite an accomplishment. I like his hot water idea. He must be a chip off the old block. You should be very proud.

Good for him, Ed! (and good for you, too...)

Cool! He seems like the kind of person that would do very well on SURVIVOR! Self taught and self sufficient.

Thanks for posting this Ed. I'll be watching it a few times.

How hot do you get in summer? I noticed the Eaves weren't very large, so I am wondering if he is either going to spend much of the summer there, or if it gets very hot (passively cooled as well)?

Very interesting! I'm sure you're proud.
