Overall shot of my insulator haul, showing the sheer number of insulators i brought home. I estimate around 500 to 700 in total.

That's enough to insulate up a two-wire open wire line to a nearby town. Now if only I could fire up that lathe and obtain some locust or oak (to turn up pegs) along with poles, arms, braces and some 109 galvy line wire... In true Jest of course, a job that's better left up to ol' Ma Bell (RIP)!
