Making a Pegboard-mounted Wire Dispenser

For far too long I've been storing my wire for electronics projects in a box where they were hard to get to, and would easily get unwound and/or tangled. In this video I build a new wire dispenser to hang on my pegboard, with a few interesting (at least I think so) techniques and materials.
The wires are held in place with an insert made from packaging foam, and the dispenser uses a new pegboard locking mechanism.

Don't know what was better in/with this: the idea, the cleverness, the craftsmanship/skill, or the videography? Truly an amazing project, keen eye and steady hand and put together amazingly!
+The Duke769 Wow, thank you, you're very kind
I think that the best part of this video is... all of the above. ;-)
Very clever. Now I know what the foam strips were for. You make good use of symmetry.
Wow that is much better than any commercial product I have seen. I work with fine wire for jewelry and a variety of types of wire for mixed media art. Your project makes everything I have seen look very basic and dysfunctional. The dowel with the sponge foam insert is genius. Kudos.
The foam inlay and spacer are pure genius. Thanks for the ideas.
Linked in from your show with Izzy Swan. Good show.
+grey Thanks, glad you enjoyed the show (and the wire dispenser). The foam has proven itself, it's been working well.
Everything about this was great. Well designed, constructed, and produced!
Thank you!
Very cleaver and functional design
I love videos where you are thinking to yourself what is that for i.e. The notch out of the back of the holder and then when you realise, you think that person has thought of everything. Great video.
Awesome, I love the feeling of that "little reveal" as well. Glad that came across and you enjoyed it as much as I did.
Not only is this a great project but I also learned so many great construction ideas. I really appreciate the video.
+Don Hayashi Thanks!
Enjoyed this very much...Thank you.
That's great, I have been trying to think of a way to stop the cable springing back. nice job.
+Harry Bibby Thanks, it's been working well.
Really well done! This is exactly the sort of thing I'm looking for for my bench. Unfortunately I lack the tools to build it myself but maybe some day!
This was lovely and therapeutic to watch! Practical idea, great video.
+Linda Q Thank you, you're very kind. Glad you enjoyed the project.
That’s totally friggin awesome 👏 I wish I could bust one out but I know I’ll get lazy cut a bunch corners and won’t like the end result and just go throw Um back in “the wire spot”. 🤘
This is amazing, but well beyond my skill level, the tools I have and the time I have. It was really nice to watch and the music made it even better. Thanks!
Thank you!
Top notch stuff, man. Great idea and well executed.
Wow, that is a great project. Nice work!
+Deltabravo604 Thank you!
Very creative , talented and skillful.
Thank you
Very elegant, Ben Brandt ! It took me a little while to figure out what the foam was for, but I really like how it turned out. The music did make me think of Angelo Badalamenti's score for Twin Peaks at time, though :)
Thanks Bill Van Loo ...this is what happens when you save scrap packing foam and electrical conduit cutoffs... You stare at them long enough and ideas start to form :-)
I had the same problem with the foam. “What the hell”? But like seeing a baseball getting bigger and bigger, I thought the same thing. Then it hit me.
That was one of the most badass videos I've ever seen
Ha! thank you
Love it! Don't have a need for a wire rack, but I think I may make a tape rack in a similar fashion. Thanks for posting!
Nice project. One thing that I'd be tempted to do is instead of the little C-shaped blocks to put in the notch of the upper back corner, I'd use the notch to help hold a piece of dry-erase board across the back so you can label the type of wire at each location. Solid, or stranded, gauge, etc. Actually a dry-erase surface is probably too thin for that gap, if so shortened C-shaped blocks can be glued to the board in the correct places. (This would also help constrain the dry-erase board from slipping side-to-side...)
Cool rack! And great dowel techniques too. Well done, Sir.
Thanks Steve!
This is a great idea, Ben! Well done!
Mighty Wood Thanks Daniel. By the way, congrats on the 1K subscribers.
Ben Brandt Thank you, Ben! :-)
Dude, nice work, but gawd. You sucked me in and lulled me with the techno beat. Great production. hahaha I'm in the midst of building a work shop and to the point that I'm hanging peg board and building shelves. Insulated sheet rocked hydronic heat unit led shop lighting, bomber bench. I'm going to be spending a good percentage of my live in here so it has to be nice.
Nice, sounds like a great work space!
THATS ACE !!!!." Attention to detail" .Regards Alf
+Alf Key Thank you!
Really well thought-out. Good work :)
Thank you
WOW, cool idea. Thanks for the video. Chris from Texas.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment.
Awesome project
+Mike Fulton Thanks Mike
Very cool. A lot of work, but really cool idea.
Thanks... it definitely took some work, but it works great :-)
Nice!!!!
Now thats clever. May have to put one in my shop.
Greg in Michigan
+Greg Homestead Thanks Greg, it's been working well here.
great super long project and master skills. thanks
Thank you
Great idea and build.
Thank you roireb1
If I had more than one reel of wire I would make it, haha I will keep it in mind thanks the idea !
+Tom Howbridge Time to get some wire then! ;-) Thanks Tom
Way too beautiful! Thinking of something similar myself, some good ideas in this video! =) Thanks for sharing =)
Thanks Chris!
Very clever dowel cross-drill jig and wire grip. Any ideas on how to arrest the inertia on the spools? I have some larger spools that will over-feed and create a rat's nest.
Good question. I would think you'd need something putting pressure down on the spool like a brake. Probably a weight hung from a pivot point above and behind the spool, or a stick held down with a rubber band or spring.
This is f***ing awesome!
Thanks!
Brilliant!
hi. hole center to another hole center how much mm ? (home i'm traying my pegboard. 4mm hole and hole center to another center 25mm but not sure!)
Genius!
Thanks!
Great Job! I was looking for some ideas for my Paracord spools but I don't have all those tools. :(
Thanks. I don't know much about paracord or the typical paracord spools. This dispenser is admittedly a little over-complicated, but if you know anyone in your life with some woodworking skill you could probably get some help making something simple enough to suit your needs.
TY
So cool
Thank you
love it! cool idea and well done. Sweet tools too. ;)
+Damon Mueller Thanks!
very interesting
+Datalus Kazan Thank you
Cool.
+joao campanella Thanks
good idea! I was just wondering, what was the styrofoam used for sir?
+Renegade It holds the loose wires in each hole, so they don't move or fall out
oh i see, thanks for replying!
That is the part that sets this build apart from Joe Shop's generic cable rack. IMHO
Brilliant!
Thanks!
