The joint
We wait until the glue is hard enough to move. A wet joint is not a picture we will fake as dry.

The van leaves on Friday.
Oclahome works on the floor of a joinery on the hill. A chair is photographed where it was glued. If the joint is still wet, the picture waits. On Friday the pieces that fit go into the van for the shops farther north.
Put it on the listThe room is above the benches on Strada Decebal. The people who call are the joiners and the shops that buy from them. A job that wants a lifestyle kitchen is declined at the door.
More stills
Apprentices stay in the frame when their hands made the piece. The master does not pose with someone else's stool. The list on the bench is the edit: what does not fit in the van does not get a picture.
Process
The floor
The piece stays where it was made. Sawdust is swept only if it hides a joint the shop needs to see.
The apprentice
Hands in frame belong to the person who cut the piece. We do not swap in the master for a cleaner portrait.
Friday
The van list is the edit. A chair that will not travel this week is filed for the week it will.
The shop
Files are named for the shop that ordered them, and they leave before the van door shuts.
