My dad complained about how much space my previous spool holder took up, so I decided to build something that would have a smaller footprint. The base is made from 3/4 inch angle iron, and the upper frame is made out of rebar. I used a stainless bolt and welded on a matching nut to hold the spool. This worked out fine even though welding dissimilar metals is not the best idea. I drilled a small hole in the top of the welder for the wire to pass through. Once the wire was inside the welder it needed to turn a corner, so I used an empty spool as a guide/pulley.
