In the trades, most workers--carpentry and otherwise, are still men.  Maria Klemperer-Johnson thinks that this state of affairs can and should change--so she's opened a carpentry school for women called Hammerstone School in Trumansburg, NY. In this conversation, she shares how she shifted from computer programming, to geology, to building tiny houses--and the perfect way to sharpen a carpentry pencil.
