Left: Host Nathan Lamkey studies a fuse box while Mike Parker looks on.

 

Above: Relaxing at the swap. Right: Carl Scott and Robin Harrison try to figure out how a set of climbing gear for steel poles worked.

Bottom left: Bill Ostrander, Caleb Thimell, and Gil Hedges... no doubt talking about one of their favorite subjects... foreign insulators! Bill and Gil both name Mexican glass as among their favorites. Below right... quality mud! Yes, glass-man Nathan actually permits porcelain insulators to make an appearance in his barn!
