What’s the most important thing you’ve learned at NBSS?
My first impression of North Bennet Street Industrial School back in 1977 was "I finally found a place that cared about doing good work." It is so amazing to realize the beautiful, complex, practical work that can be done with simple hand tools, and wood is such a beautiful and varied medium.
