Getting out a fine bladed chisel and a wooden mallet, Brandon continues to carve out the flowers which are part of the fancy relief on the front of the cabinet.Despite the large size of his hands he works with confidence and skill at the fancy delicate work and is soon immersed in the activity. When Master Carpenter finally calls it quits for the day, Brandon as always is surprised at how fast the day seems to go while he is working.A nod of approval and clap on the back is all the praise he receives from his taciturn father, but it's all the praise he needs coming from a hard but fair taskmaster.Stretching out the kinks from shoulders, back and arms Brandon draps his large arm around his surrogate father with obvious affection "Dad a group of us were planning on going camping tonight, do you mind if I stay out tonight at Falcons Grove with the others"Turning to look up at his large son Mr Carpenter fails to hide his smile at the remarks "Well as long as you promise to behave and promise to be back my lunch time tomorrow, I can't see the harm in it Brand.  In fact it'll do you some good to branch out and spend some time with some of the other local boys."With a whop of delight Brandon speeds of into the house to get ready and leave his father shaking his head in general amusement over his antic's.  After a hasty supper Brandon kisses his parents goodbye and then heads off to meet the others at Falcons Grove.[sblock=Equipment]Brandon has gathered up all of his equipment (except his tools) plus a lantern and some oil, 50' hemp rope, a large knife (worn on his belt), and a small knife (hidden in his  sock inside of his boot) from the workshop.[/sblock]</blockquote>
