Spooled Cordage Dispenser

I have a spool of 550 cord that I found at a garage sale years ago. I've had it turn into a rats nest far more than once, so I naturally wanted a solution that puts the cord where I will find it and eliminate rats nests for good.

I hit on the idea of making a dispenser modeled after a paper towel dispenser.

I scrounged around and picked up the 2x4 wood, a piece of pipe, and screws from around the shop. I routed out the slots for the pipe, screwed it all together and painted it red.

I then hung it under the twine bobbin I'd already made and hung on the wall. Pretty simple project.
