Growing up on a farm, I learned the fine art of "rigging" from a "Master Rigger", My Dad. He could fix nearly anything with nothing. I learned at least 6000 different uses for bailing wire and duct tape. ( bulldog friction tape as it used to be called back then). One of the best fixes that I remember is cutting up old tin cans and wrapping them around the axles of our old stalk cutter, held in place with bailing wire, they made fine bearings and allowed him to finish out the day's work without having to go all the way back to the barn to make repairs.
