Wire Dispenser

A wire rack made from parts out of a printer and sign holder. Holds a ton of wire ... and it was cheap.

Step 1 Get the stuff

- 2 Copier Rails
+ These are the rails that the reflecting mirror moves on in a copier ours had holes in it that we re-used but you could also drill your own.
- Aluminium Tubes
+ These tubes should fit in the holes on the rail. These came from some Italian sign holder.
- Threaded rods & Caps
+ These should fit inside the aluminum tubing.
- Plywood
+ For the base.

Wow, that a great idea!

Now when you say it holds a ton, does it actually hold that much wire? :-P.

I would probably make those smaller wooden dowels that screw in to the metal rails, a little wider for stability. Good instructable though

Great job, man! I really like the idea, and it can come in handy when you only have one hand available. Nice idea.
