Wire spool organizer ideas

[DGUS]

Anyone have some creative ideas for storing smaller spools of electrical wire? I want to make something compact. Maybe mounting to the wall or under a cabinet?

Not very fancy, but it works for me. Just used some electrical conduit on the end of the shelving.

Check this page for a wire spool carousel. About 3/4 down the page of tips. Hang it under a cabinet to save table top space.

These might be too big?

Lowes sells these CVarlon cable cAddy for less than $30.00

and Carlon makes a hand truck that stores even more. #wk7101.

Very creative under a shelf at the far end

That is one nice facility duntemann has in the link posted above.

Being the cheap - make that frugal - guy that I am, I coupled a $5 lawn sale television stand with a "contact" paper display rack that was being discarded at the local hardware store to make a rolling electrical wiring "center" that I can take to the area where I'm working instead of criss-crossing the shop several times for tools and supplies.

I noticed this wire caddy/cart on Craigslist - storage and on the job utility.

Well, here is my wire spool rack and associated portable work bench.

Hope this helps.

I just got an idea which involves those pix, some spare castors, angle iron and timber I have lying around....

The holder on the side of the bench for zip ties is awesome!I usually have a big bundle on top of my toolbox taking up space,I think I my make something similar for the side of my box.

I have put a few hours in on my above pictured work cart. It works great for doing vehicle electrical repairs and alterations. It is still a work in progress but it fills a lot of my needs in it's current configuration. If anyone would like some more pictures of any specific areas let me know.
