Da VInci Arched Bridge - 1st attempt: 

Replicating one of Da Vinci’s arched bridge designs from a pile of notched logs.  Da Vinci created these designs for the Duke of Milan, Ludovico ‘Il Moro’ to facilitate rapid troop movements across rivers while carrying out surprise attacks.  It took us four attempts to get the structure stable enough to bear our weight and one wonders how easy it would have been to build these bridges without access to both sides of the river or under a hail of arrows or flaming shot!

For Brian - $0.02 mouse mat: 

$0.02 mouse mat  - I use the slightly textured back cover of a plastic document folder (about 9”x11”), which I cut off and taped to my keyboard drawer.
