Up until the beginning of the 20th century, it was a shared belief that manual activities play an essential role in the development of intellect and personality. Since then, awareness of the importance of training manual abilities has slowly declined to the point where in modern society, the hammer and the chisel have been replaced by the attractive virtual world of smartphones. Previous generations learned to use tools from their fathers and grandfathers; sadly, the parents of today are themselves in need of basic coaching in woodwork before they can pass the skill on to their children.
