[teeach]

just made, just need some stop ends on the arms now i think.

wanted something small/portable.



any thing else i can do/incorperate to make it better? maybe a little bar between to hold sleeving??

Don't think a lot of your taste in crisps

An ipod docking station and some speakers maybe?

Doesn't look very stable. When you draw the cable the reel will come off, the jack will tilt to one side or the arms will break under the reel weight (can't rely on that welding).

Wow a constructive answer .....good on you goody Now Alex, Electro and myself are going to hang our heads in shame .....aren't we lads??

How much did that cost to build??

I'm sure a £20 spoola from the wholesale is probably cheaper after you've brought all the ironworks and spent time welding...... but good on you anyway...

PS What was in the luchbox today?? Egg and Mayo? Bacon and Brie baguette at the hotel is my fave!!!

Have a look at this for more ideas -> cable reel stand - Google Search and stop keeping your pickles in that blue bottle; they go bad in plastic bottles.

HAHAHA The poor bloke has probably been working hard on that cable jack and Goody comes along and blows it out of the water.

What's wrong with using an A frame ladder and a broom handle anyway? Works every time for me.

A real practical solution and you are highly resourceful. :drummer:

Nothing wrong with making the effort to construct your own,but I've had my cable jack for years
I can also use it for bending and screwing conduit

I can get about 12 singles coils on it, which yours cant,so there

:smile5:

No to be fair my answer was constructive, the wife could carry twice as much shopping with that strapped to her back....:teeth_smile:, agree with Goody though the bags will drop off without some end stops.

nothing can beat an apprentice holding a 6ft length of conduit. 2 legs for bracing against the pull, and 2 hands for end stops.

Nice to see you know your place !!!!!!!!!!!
