Thirty years ago I went to woodwork classes at Evening College, loved it, and always meant to get back to it. When I recently started getting arthritis in my hands it frightened me into doing it now.
   I took leave from my job in the administrative office of a school and left home for the year, seeing my highly supportive family on weekends. This is my second year at Sturt and I feel I have come a long way in both my understanding of woodworking principles and the development of a more enlightened creative side. I also feel much calmer in the machine room.
