ing! Friend Scott Mason had given me a quantity of
Northeastern corrugated siding, and it seemed like just
the right thing to use. I made up a jig, using a hacksaw
blade which just happened to be the right dimension,
to allow for consistent cutting of the siding. I made
multiple passes with new, sharp X-Acto blades to get
clean cuts.

on the town itself. After “pouring” the town’s concrete
sidewalks, I used leftover material to apply concrete
to the sides of the pit. The materials used were light-
weight spackle, mixed with a combination of Bragdon
Enterprises powders until it looked right to me.
