Really simple holder for tabbing wire rolls that helpes you to cut straighter and equal in size wires almost without effort :)

You Need:

I don't think it needs a lot of explanation: cut the wooden parts at the right sizes and clean the edges of any splinters; glue and screw or nail them together. Drill a hole at the top of the lath and put in the screw that will hold the tabbing wire roll. You also need a small wood piece, or a thick nail, or a pen cut at the proper size (about 2-3 inches) fixed with the remaining wire holders to make the 0 mark, this is where you cut the wire after you unrolled it to the desired lenght.

Hopefuly I've been clear enough explaining this step :(

The only thing left to do is make the marks corresponding to the sizes you want the wires to be.

Thank you for reading :)
