[*Four frames. Frame 1 is a shed with a sign saying "Joe and Paul's Woodwork Bazaar." Frame 2 Paul says to an intent looking Joe "In this age of mass production it's the little flaws in our woodworking that give it personality and make it valuable."

Paul points at Joe's face and says "You're crusting".*]
