Wire spool holder/caddy/rack
a bunch of bull shit |
I recently went googling for some type of holder for wire spools. i needed one because my previous one was actually a shoe rack that to be honest was a bunch of bull shit.So that brings us to the googling that pretty much came up with some more bunch of bull shit seen here. i dunno know about you but 70 bucks plus whatever the shipping is, is way to much for something that's just a bunch of dowels held up by some wood. so with some more googling i came up with this on the ye old ebay. these are a bit more reasonable but if you noticed are old lady ribbon spools. since I'm cheap and i spend to much money on other stuff i didn't want to spend to much money on these things either. SOOOOOOO i started looking into ways to make my own. i googled ribbon holder because the results for wire holder was just for much larger spools of wire than i needed. the concept is always pretty much the same. so this is what i found. don't pass judgment on me i don't frequent that site it just came up in a google search. if yous go about half way down you'll find the one about the multi-teir hanger. these things can be had for about 8 bucks at bed bath and beyond. that's always a plus because you can just go to the store and get one and don't have to wait for it to show up in the mail. here's a link if you do want to order one though. so now i got the damn thing.

i call him bitey |
so first i cut off the rubber strip on the bottom of the hanger. then i got the grinder out and cut two equal lengths of the flat steel and cleaned it with the grinder so it welded real nice like.

and the money shot of it actually doing its job
it all cost about 10 or 12 bucks and works pretty good.
