In your post #298, in the third photo, under the rear of the truck, on the right hand side, there is a tool tote like the ones we used in cable splicing for the telephone co here.
Where you a telco cable splicer?

No that's just a tool bag I found along the way. I do have some pretty good stacks going on down in that shop. As for stuff in the background, one of my favorite artifacts which is shown in a lot of my photos is my Aerothrust outboard motor. Manufactured in the '20s in Chicago, it converts any rowboat into an 'everglades' type airboat. The base below allows clamping to the boats transom and adjusts for tilt. It's a horizontaly opposed 2 stroke twin and it is extremely loud and uses a 10/1 oil mix so the exhaust is pungent. Haven't tried it on this canoe as it feels too top heavy. Aerothrust's literature shows a similar engine/blade setup with a different bracket for mounting behind the seat of a bicycle
