Simple Workbench Made From Wire Spool
“I made a simple workbench and tool holder out of a big wooden spool originally used to hold wire or cable,” says Carthell Dubberly, Waycross, Ga.
“You can get these spools free from power companies or drainage tile companies that get plastic drain tiles on spools.
“I divided the circumference of the spool by 12, which is the number of slots I wanted. Then I installed 12-in. boards vertically from top to bottom before installing shelves in the middle.
“I attached 4 heavy-duty 4-in. caster wheels to the bottom of the reel so it’s easy to move around. The caster wheels can be locked in place.
“My bench-mount tools - vise, grinder, etc. - are mounted on 2 by 6’s cut to size. I clamp them to the top of the reel with C-clamps when needed and remove them when I don’t.”
