The guy that had the role as carpenter this day had tried to take his thumb off in the lathe, so he had to go seek out some modern times medicine to get well. In his place stepped this girl who was otherwise over in Colonel Snelling's kitchen, and started showing everybody how to dove tail. Not an easy thing to do with only hand tools, but she did it extremely well.
Wolfgang, Suzanne, Miles, Varya - thank you! I'm very pleased with this whole series, and this print in particular does have a glow about it that's hard to convey online. How I wish we could all just view each other's prints instead.
On a technical side note - I am so happy with my new film / developer buddies. Using Kodak Tmax 400 (still the old TMY) and Xtol replenished and seasoned, I am getting really great negatives that almost print themselves. It's an absolutely astonishing combination that makes me 8x10 prints look like they were medium format enlargements. It's really encouraging!
