Have a lot of scrambled wires and cables laying around? don't know what to do with your cake CD case and skrached up discs? want some order? make a cable drum from discs and a toilet paper roll.

this is what you need :
1. discs (CD's, DVD's whatever)
2. toilet paper roll (can be done with any pipe-like thing)
3. super/crazy/epoxy glue
4. cutting tool
5. some wire

STEP 2: Assembly
1. mark the cutting line on the roll

i suggest you allign the discs with a cake disc case
4. make a little hole in the roll to fit the end of the wire
5. fit the end of the wire into the hole in the roll (you can secure it with some glue)
6. roll the wire around the roll

i chose to display my cable drums in a cake CD case, but you can build some other display case or device.
STEP 4: Thanks for the Suggestions
thanks for all your suggestions you gave me - i decided to use one of them, i put some feed holes for the cables
can be done with drill, dremel, cutting tool or even a pair os pointy scisors
