By Ken Cole Planing. Today's lunch is Pasties, massive meat and vegetable pies, eaten by the river. Planing away Miraculously, most of the butt sections are ready to glue this evening and the whole affair goes smoothly. Node-staggered bundles are taped.
Tape is slit and glue is applied.
Gooey strips are rebundled and fed through the binder. Bound strips are rolled on tabletops to help straighten and even things out. Straight and even bundles are hung like sausages to cure. We start setting up for tips. Somewhere long after dark, I notice a tightness in my shoulders and a tingling in my hands.
