I’ve thinking of making something to spool my cable on so it’s not just laying on the bench or floor. Just looking for ideas.

Little trick show to keep cable in place after cutting the cable. https://rumble.com/vzu5ha-magnetic-snare-making-trick.html [video:youtube]https://rumble.com/vzu5ha-magnetic-snare-making-trick.html[/video] http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

It's easily made with a piece of rebar and a couple 2x4's with holes in them mounted to the end of the bench. Add a weak-ish spring on the rod by the spool to keep it from free wheeling.

You want them loose. Then you can run a rod through the spool . I hate the loose spools because they will bird nest. That's why i find suppliers that uses spools and don't ship loose. http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php

You have to be very careful when re-spooling it or you'll cause it to cast and it'll look like a corkscrew shape, hard to work with for snares but not a big deal on cable stakes or slide cables.

If you are careful, it will feed back out pretty decent, and it's movable. Originally Posted by ETexTrapper Built this to hold my spools. There is no kill like overkill! That's about a fine spool rack!
