You have found another delicious food!

This is a biscuit. Carpenters carry these around with them in little plastic jars and munch on them when they get hungry and it's too early for lunch. :-D If you already know what a biscuit is, my apologies, and if not, it's a little slip of wood that you can use to join pieces of wood together, like frame corners that have odd angles! Too bad I don't have a good pic of the trapezoidal frames that form the cap of the mural, but I'll have one soon, and it'll include the finished crossbraces (customized!).
This is a wooden clamp, made by our engineer. He makes his own tools! I thought it looked an awful lot like the Recognizers (see a picture) from the movie Tron.

Here we are sanding the edge of one of the frames. Just imagine those frames stacked 3 high and 2 wide...and that's the area (minus a little because of the pointed cap) I am to paint. I try not to think about it but people keep bringing it up!
