(...) Good heavens, I'm glad you kept it! Poe's trowel is a quintessential element of foreshadowing in early American short-fiction. To omit it would be to lose an important artifact of Poe's work. Additionally, I like the creative way you overcame (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, FTX)

I had no idea what I was going to use for that and almost just replaced "trowel" with "hammer and chisel" to use a hammer and a screwdriver, but I was looking for odd elements and came across the (...)

Hi, Bruce. Nice story. Kind of twsited. I very much like the design across the top of the building in the first photo, alternating black 1x1 plates turned diagonally with technic holes. And the sword tucked under the arm works well--I haven't seen (...) (20 years ago, 26-Oct-04, to lugnet.castle, FTX)
