When it comes to making things with your hands, there is a certain amount of innate satisfaction that you receive. Whether it’s a beautiful and useful thing, or something that you aren’t terribly proud of, you hold it in your hands and you are assured in your own ability and desire to create and craft. If you ask any professional craftsmen about what it’s like to design and create beautiful pieces of art or furniture or whatever they may craft, while the novelty has probably worn off somewhat, they most likely still have a deep appreciation for the satisfaction that comes from building something from scratch, and where it’s final form is truly beautiful, practical, or both.

The holidays are usually a wonderful time for a variety of reasons. You get to see your loved ones, especially the ones that you haven't seen in awhile. You usually get to eat delicious homemade food, and tons of it, surrounded by your closest family and friends. And whether it's skiing, board games with the family, sports on television, or classic family traditions, there is usually some activity that you are looking forward to doing with your people. But for many folks, the holidays also bring about a variety of stressors. Maybe you have to see some loved ones who you haven't seen in awhile (and are glad of the fact). Maybe the logistical nightmare that is coordinating dinner for 30+ people is really starting to grind your gears. Or maybe the pressure of getting a good gift and spending a lot of money on a lot of gifts just offers a financial concern that no one likes dealing with.

As an adult, you probably enjoy woodworking for a variety of reasons, including

• The ability to make anything you want
• The diversity of wood
• Making things to sell
• Improving existing objects
• And more!

With that in mind, wouldn’t it be awesome to teach your kids, grandkids, or neighbor kids the joys of woodworking? Not only will they get to spend time with you, but they’ll also reap a number of benefits from learning to work with wood.
