Cable reel holder

[cropwell]

I got so fed up with spools of connecting wire going missing, I made a couple of racks to keep them tidy and accessible. No great shakes with the woodwork, I used 3 A4 sheets of 6mm ply which I got from Kitronics when they were getting rid of surplus stock (22p a sheet) 4 springs, two lengths of 6mm brass rod, 4 M6 nyloks, 4 strips of self adhesive foam and a couple hours work (draw, cut, assemble). Put together with Gorilla glue and screws. There you go !


The springs pull the bar down to lightly hold the wire.
