New and improved electric fence wire holder

It works a lot better now!
Turns out a 2 gallon bucket
is just the right size for the new and improved DIY electric fence wire
holder.
Ordered a special orchard
gizmo that allows the wire to be pulled through one way and clamps down
on it when it's pulled in the other direction.
Cut an old license plate to
size so that it would fit over the spool and act as a tensioner. What
you don't see is a small hole in the bottom so you can reach in and
feed the wire through the orchard wire vise.
