Say, Larry. Where does one get a spool of bailing wire? Many, many
years ago I worked the back end of a hay bailer or two that used wire.
The wire came from a long cardboard tube and was straight as an arrow
till you put it into the divider board slots and it was pressed back
through the machine.

I haven't seen any new bailing wire in many years.

Baling wire! Bales of hay! Bailing is what you have to do if you build
a leaky boat!

:-)

Look for black iron wire at the hardware store. I have even seen
spools of it in the Borg Depot stores.

Usually pretty close to the concrete tools.
