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.

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.
