Carrying or extending a wire on a reel costs a lot of money and not everyone can afford it. Therefore, we bring to your attention a review of the video on the manufacture of a budget extension cable for wires or carrying for home.
We advise you to start by watching the author’s video
What we need:
- coil;
- three wheels;
- fork;
- block;
- the wire;
- tools for installation;
- screws, nuts, washers.
We take the coil. Its author of the idea took from the chain for chainsaws. On these reels, specialty stores sell chains for chainsaws or fishing line for lawn mowers. Such a coil, according to the author, is strong enough, flexible, not fragile and is great for this purpose. Determined with
the location of the pad itself on the reel.
We take a marker and make marks.
Turn the coil over and mark the points of attachment of the wheels. We drill all the necessary holes on the marks and mount the elements, that is, the bottom of the pads and wheels. It should be noted that the bolts fixing the bottom of the pads should be located so as not to interfere with the further installation of the working elements.
Castors can be used both in application and as legs. If you want the structure to move on wheels, they need to be arranged in parallel, but if you need to make legs out of them, you can fix them in any position.
For the reliability of all fasteners, you can apply an additional thread lock, which can be purchased at a specialized store. This will prevent further loosening of nuts and screws during operation. homemade.
Next, connect the wire to the block and collect it.
The wire itself needs to be fixed on the coil. Thus, you can get a simple limiter when the wire will need to be unwound to the end.
We wind the wire on the potatoes. The author of the idea advises using a ground wire for your own safety.
We mount the plug on the other end of the wire and get a miniature home carrying or extending the wire. Such a transfer would cost about 350 rubles, not counting the cost of the wire.
This idea can be modified and improved by adding new elements.
