My wire storage solution

[Sansui]

I was getting frustrated storing the bulk of my bonsai wire in boxes so I spent some time contemplating a low cost solution and this is what I came up with:

The high capacity wire holder rotates, holds up to twelve 1Kg rolls of aluminum wire and is very easy to re-load.

Thank you Sir Sorce!

Thanks for posting it!

I'll just keep bumping!

If you ain't outside the box....
You might as well be in it!

Good one! Hey, I like that model! It appears to be air conditioned and biodegradable! Does it come in an XLT size?

I, too, have been looking for a portable solution to wire storage/dispensing.
This one I made from a 3 1/2” outside diameter length of PVC pipe with a cap on one end and a metal chopstick inserted through holes drilled through the diameter of the other end. The roll separators are circular plastic grids (from Jo Ann’s Fabrics) which make it simple to cut out their centers. The (prototype) supports are 11” squares of doubled corrugated cardboard with 3&1/2” holes cut on center. They’ll be replaced with 10” squares of 3/4” plywood or laminated shelving.
Cost of materials: about $35
