What sort of backyard setup is someone using to replicate that in order to "practice"?

My father in law after WW2 worked as a roughneck on drilling rigs in Wyoming. After a severe auto accident caused by a drunk driver, which resulted in broken legs and hip, which prohibited him from physical rough neck work, he went to the Univ of Wyoming and graduated with a degree in Petroleum Engineering. He always worked in drilling with Chevron and as a consultant after retirement; the baws on the rig could not pull anything on him because he had done their work.

He was a man I truly respected and loved.

This was my summer job while in college in the early 90's... best motivation ever to finish school. Hardest and hottest days of work ever.
