Woodshop : There is today a disturbing tendency of our consumer-oriented throwaway society to dismiss craftsmanship as an outdated notion, while a "factory-made" or "pre-fab" mentality has all but replaced appreciation for personal craftsmanship. In the modern corporate-dominated media, value is confused with cheapness, success is measured in dollars, actual accomplishment is overshadowed by image, and words like "commitment" and "integrity" have become hollow advertising fodder. To me, craftsmanship is more than a construction concept - its an ethical concept. Craftsmanship, in this context, represents the creative struggle of the individual, working with his hands, heart, and mind, to produce an end product that is attractive, practical, durable, and will retain its value over time. As part of my commitment to craftsmanship, I attended Steve Hageman's woodworking class at the local community college in 2007. The class was a total blast. There was a great sense of purpose, goals, and comaraderie, and I'd like to think that you can see that in this photo gallery. Professor Hageman is demanding of his students, and as a result, they come away from his classes with more than just a knowledge of woodworking. One of his favorite expressions is "cross-curricular", which means that the skills and mindset necessary to complete the class, and the projects, will spill over into other facets of your life and work. And while he doesn't come out and say it, life lessons is really what the class is all about. Underlying all the work and study, the sawdust, sweat, and blood (there's always a little of that involved in woodworking!), was a profound respect for craftsmanship. This is a value little understood in today's electronics dominated computerized world - but it is a value I have embraced, and I hope that comes across in these photos.
