As requested. Here is how to build a wire spinner. I appologize i don't have time at the moment to do a real how to, and actually build one. Maybe tomorrow. But here is a rough outline of how to build one.
Materials
1 - 12" 2x4
2 - 24" 2x4
6 - 3" screws
16 - romex staples
2 - large washers
1 - 3" framing nail
2 - 4' scraps of romex
Step 1
Screw the 12" piece of 2x4 to the center of one of the 24" pieces, So you end up with a T
Step 2. Screw the other 24" piece of 2x4 perpendicular to the first 24" 2x4
step 3. Put 1 washer on the nail. Then push the nail though the center of one of the chunks of romex
step 4. Put the other washer over the top of the romex, then push the other piece of romex onto the nail. Your end product, should go. Head of nail, washer, romex, washer, romex
step 5. staple the romex in an "X" in the center of your 12" 2x4
Step 6. Staple the romex to each edge of your 2x4 X. The wire should be loose, not tight, After its stapled to the edges, staple it to the underside. Use plenty of staples and get them nailed in good. This is what is actually going to be bearing the weight.
step 7. Bend nail into a hook
step 8. ??????
step 9. profit
This isn't an exact science. The one i built was fairly random, no measurements were taken, i just threw it together real quick. So they may not be the ideal measurments. A little experminting might find the ideal measurements. If your X is too small, your romex will unwind and fall on the floor. Maybe tomorrow i'll actually build one and take pictures as i go, so it looks like a REAL how to
