Dam tools

I had a little excursion down into the bowels of the local hydroelectric dam today to consult about a possible job repairing a leaking ground water pipe . An interesting space a little like the tate modern, but with a more underground feel as all the giant shutter doors were shut. The turbine hall was a massive space. On several of the walls at strategic spots there were collections of maintenance tools like this one that I was rather drawn to. I think this panel is three foot by six, so some of those spanners are massive. In a different universe perhaps I am this organised.
