How do I balance my love of science, with my fascination of woo? Well I really try to stay grounded in the science, and understand how studies are done.

Topics will vary greatly in this series as I discuss anything related to 'Hands and Hammer' including massage, blacksmithing, woodworking, and while I'm at it anything else I may want to talk about. I will always try to be mindful of the current science, and not make big claims with just a rudimentary understanding of physics or chemistry. Even with a critically minded view I will at times discuss topics that don't fit the mold of our current scientific understandings and need more research.
