DIY Wire Spinner

How to build a Wire Spinner

I built this wire spinner from scraps
I had laying around the home.
It worked far better than I expected and saved us a ton of money.

---

Mark out three 800mm x 800mm squares.

I used left over MDF, but marine ply
would be a better option
(especially if it happens to rain while you are fencing).

Cut out your 3 squares.

Marked center.

Placed on the role of wire.

Then worked out were I wanted my uprights to go.

Pick a hole saw bit,
that is going to be larger than
your center pole.

Then drill out a hole,
in all 3 plates.

"You can skip this step" if you want....

This just lifts the reel up above the lower arms,
that I attach a bit later on.

Cut all 8 uprights to just above the wire height.

Pre-drill the square plate
and attach the uprights from underneath.

Pre-drill and attach the top plate into the uprights.

Attach 4 arms to the top.

And attach 4 arms to the bottom.

These are to prevent the wire from uncoiling.
and creating a huge coil mess.

Time to make 3 washers.

Mark out 3 small squares
and hole saw the middle.

Give them a good sand.

Place them on top of the bottom plate.

The 3 washers allow the spinner to take
the path of least resistance.

Place the Bottom plate were you will be working.

Carry the reel into potion,
using the center pole as a handle.

Hammer your center pole
into the ground.

Re-attach the arms, once it's in position.

"It's to difficult, moving it around
with them attached".

And you are done.

We ended up not using the arms, and
the wire stayed nice and neat on the reel.
