Below, left: Under the big top, Neil Godden is leading a crew of scribers who have put these curvey braces into one of the gable bents. It's a busy scene, but strangely quiet until the cutting begins in earnest.

Port Jefferson Harbor, which opens into the Long Island Sound, is just on the other side of that orange excavator. There is a very handsome park taking shape around us, and between us and the beach, as we work.

Below, left: From left to right, Anthony Bartolotta (NJ), Curtis Milton (NH) and Jordan Finch (VA) on the deck in the shade, puzzle through the layout.

Above, right: Charlie Blend (VA) left and Anthony Bartolotta (NJ) pause to somberly pose with their work, one of the nine tie beams, each sporting a pair of receivers for the English tying joint.
