So this week at my workplace, Mr. Boss man wanted me to recycle spools. of unused/unwanted wire. Also, I kid, I really do like my boss and my workplace anyway the slight problem is that the spools are made of steel and the wire is aluminum. so I had to figure out a way to get the wire off. The original plan was to use a hacksaw and cut through the end of the spool. However, as I know from last week of doing precisely that with smaller spools. IT SUCKS DONKEY BALLS, my wrists were roached by the weekend. So I figured that the spool had a metal rod that was crushed inside to hold it together, as well as the heads of the spool had bent over tabs. Which my co-worker had the idea of using a chisel, to break off the tabs then I used ye-old South Bend to drill a hole into the taper and bust off the side of the spool.
