    In fairness, I have a father that gives me way more credit than I deserve! He always taught me to never be able to see the wires and we solder and heat shrink almost every connection! My wiring job( to look at) is jumbled mess but, now, it all works. I love/hate wiring!

    Just so everyone knows @Oxbow has put in on average 12 hours a day/ 7 days per week for 4 weeks straight on this truck. He is a workaholic normally but we have felt pushed to finish this project to get our construction season going. He was full throttle before we NEEDED to be be full throttle. He is the one and only man I look up to and strive to emulate.

  7. The guys are right. It's for roofing but it's a shingles hammer/hatchet. Looks in good shape. Not many use shingles out here in commie-fornia. Due to fire hazards.

  9. My grandfather on mother's side was into wood working/roofing and caning chairs. He had that hammer hanging on his wall of tools.

    My dad's father had an 1964 old town canoe. When I was 8yrs old I was able to help re-cane the seats in the canoe.

    I just found it on eBay for 8k,. Wife tells me I can't buy it. I don't have anyplace to store it. These canoes take up 4" of water loaded. Amazing how smooth you can move up river. Sorry for long post. Memories are nice to go back thru. Thanks @cke for showing that hammer.
