Homemade "Split Wheel" Airhose Holder
Tom De Clerck, Pana, Ill.: "I can store up to 200 ft. of air hose neatly out of the way with this homemade 'split wheel' holder. I cut a car wheel rim in half and welded a 4-ft. length of 4-in. channel iron to the back side of both rims. Then I bolted the channel iron to the wall. I just wind up the air hose in big loops on the rims. I mounted the unit near the door of my garage, where the air hose is readily available for any inside or outside job.
"I used a pair of wheel hubs to hang up the terminal clamps on my electric welder. First I welded an old tractor spindle to a length of angle iron, and then I welded both hubs to the ends of the spindle. Then I lag screwed the angle iron to the wall in my shop. What's nice is that all edges are rounded so there's nothing to catch or scratch. Also, I can unwind however much cord I want without having to drag it around."
