Coolest Steps in the World

This is a set of steps I made for our skateboard school. The aluminium beam is a solid billet of aluminium and the decks were custom made with concave only on one edge. You should see the look on our students faces when they make the treck to the basement. More pictures with the railing added.

Building Canes

Doug Stowe is using the Thin Air Press in a class at the wood shop of Clear Spring School. The Grade 7 and 8 students are building canes to give to their local free medical clinic. What a great project.

Here is the intro to Doug’s blog. I think it says it all.

Wisdom of the Hands

This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarly through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

Thanks Doug for all your support.

EXTERNAL MOLD BUILD

Administrator — Tue, 16 May 2006 22:27:32 +0000

This is a tutorial on using an external mold with the Thin Air Press. Sometimes building a simple wooden mold that veneers and the TAP bag can be externally wrapped around is a better solution than an internal mold.
