Easy-To-Build Wire Winder FENCING Tools 23-1-7 This wire winder works great for any kind of wire, says Glen Teel who put it together for his own use.
He makes wire spools using old disk blades with six steel rods welded between each pair of concave blades. The blades are spaced 16 in. apart.
The spool mounts on a square shaft taken from the disk. The spool is centered using a couple pipe spacers and the shaft is turned by a large pulley mounted on one end that was taken from a combine. The pulley is driven by a V-belt off an electric motor that mounts at the base of the unit.
"I make up extra spools to hold the wire for storage. The whole thing was cheap to make and works as well as any commercial unit I've ever seen. The tightener on the V-belt has a long handle so it's easy to start and stop winding as needed," says Teel.
