Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire We’ve covered pallets- Now...wire spools

I seen this table in the internet

I will never make this

Gawd unless mrs slumlord sees this.

Oak wine barrels...Now, there’s a prize.

Son of a gun that shooting bench looks all right eh? You'd have to figure out some blocks for feet so it wouldn't rock is all.

Guchi spool deco.

The bigger ones make decent tables. Especially if you cut a piece of plywood for the top. The smaller ones make nice bedside or lamp tables. If you get the ones that wire rope come on they have wooden centers. The ones that 12-2 come on have cardboard centers. Some are even plastic now. I've seen tables, stools, dog houses and shooting benches made from them. If you have a hill side on your farm they make nice rolling targets.

They are not made from treated lumber so their outdoor life is limited.

You don't have to steal them off the side of the road. They can be had for asking. Its just something else the crew has to dispose of. We used to throw them in a big scrap dumpster and unroll the auger on the boom truck and mash them up to make more room.

The huge ones like really big wire comes on are made of steel and usually require a deposit. I'm talking Hi-Line wire like 1272 and 1590 MCM.

Hahaha.

Pinterest! Spoiling hunting and fishing trips since 2010. 😂🤪😂

They are putting in fiber here and upgrading poles


Spools galore. They have a sign up “free take em all”

Same for pallets too.

That's a cool looking bench,seal it up good and prolly get a few more years out of 'em

Not mine, stole the pic after someone mentioned shooting bench, I thought it looked spiffy.

Who had the crane post? Back when the ends made tortillas for the outriggers. A i beam that slid out and then a big acme threaded leg was turned to the proper spot. There was a steel pad to add but there is no such thing as too much surface area or too solid ground

I have had a few but they rot quickly so not much I can do with them outside. I have tried painting and polyurethane-ing them but they just rot a little slower from the inside out. I can see how they could be useful inside in a shop or garage.

A person like Renegade50 could cover that in carpet and make a giant kitty jungle gym for his housecats.

Hang some little catnip balls off of it, fishing pole with a whimsical pink plush mouse on a tether.



Just throwing out some ideas

"Shut the front door" !

That's a nice dog house a coat of poly and it should hold up for years. They like flat roofs best.

NICE.....

Ya need to put a golf umbrella in the hole to keep them dry, and off of the ground.

Get yo azz down there and put some rezerved sines on em fer me, bruh.

Oh, there's one here on the 7 Acre RANCH, over in the sagebrush. I'll see if I can get a pic someday. It's all flat an laying on the ground, might cover an old well or septic tank for all I know.

I sure could use a couple of them spools for the next addition to the Gulag.
