This you're asking a farmer??? Read on...

I've done the "torch as a lighter" thing, like fellro described.

Used coins as screwdrivers, fuses, spacers, and once in a great while even for money!

Wired together a tie rod end with baling wire... not for a temporary fix, but weeks at a time. (I don't really recommend this one!)

Used pliers to turn steaks and brats on the grill... before the Johnsonville Brats commercial came out.

Used a "Men At Work" sign (hey, I found it and tried to give it back, but no one seemed to want it and the cops said I could have it) as a sunshade on a tractor. It worked pretty good, too.

Rigged a handheld spotlight to my truck to stand in for a broken headlight, and a piece of woven wire fence to protect the radiator after my encounter with the deer last April (both since fixed with the correct components).

And about a million different uses for duct tape, WD-40, baling wire, and my Gerber multi-tool.

You know what they say... Poor folks have poor ways. I for one am in wholehearted agreement.
