Wow, such a simple but well thought out design. I've been searching for suitable reels for my tool trailer, many reels that you can buy will simply not work in the location that I want to install them in. This is perfect! This design can easily be changed to fit where I want it to. Thank you!
Thanks for your comment. The reals are so simple but effective. It is very important, however, to cut the wood cross pieces absolutely square, then the whole thing assembles easily. Good luck with all your DIY projects. Sincerely, Mike
Just exactly what I need. A very slim hose reel for one car garage. This is spot on. I’m going to make one as I fed up dealing with my stiff garden hose in winter. I really enjoyed watching this video from an old school. God bless you.

Hello sir.... I hope you are doing welll... Love your video! I want to make this for my garden hoses.. Not sure how i can get it so that they can be connected to the spigot at all times.. I suspect i will need to unscrew from the spigot to wind it up
Good video and good description. I'm going to try using a wood dowel for the little pieces and I'll find centers via my lathe. I have a hvy welder cable and an smaller extension chord.
Thanks for your appreciation and I hope you get many years good use out of your reels - as I have. Good luck with all your DIY projects. Sincerely, Mike

It is also going to depend upon the diameter of the hose. Even with garden hoses, they are not all the same diameter... The longer lasting commercial hoses tend to have thicker wall thickness on the hose, so even if the inner diameter is the same, the outer diameter is going to be greater and you would be able to put less hose on the reel. Here in the US, the garden hoses are typically 1/2", 5/8", or 3/4" inner diameter. Obviously, even if two hoses have the same wall thickness, you would be able to put more 1/2" ID hose on the reel than on one with a 5/8" or 3/4" ID. It would be easy enough to calculate how much hose a reel like this could theoretically handle -- you would need an accurate measurement of the outer diameter of the hose. I say "theoretically" because it is assuming that you lay the hose perfectly on the reel, leaving no gaps and having each layer aligned perfectly. For example, for easy of calculation, I'll assume a 1" OD for a hose, a 16" reel inner diameter, and a 24" reel outer diameter. These are NOT the dimensions that he used though. That leaves us 8" difference between the inner and outer diameters of the reel, or a 4" radius, thus room for 4 layers of hose. Let's also assume that there is enough space between the inner sides of the reel for 5 loops of hose around the reel before having to go to the next layer. This means that on the first layer, we are able to 5 * pi * 16", the second layer 5 * pi * 18", the third layer 5 * pi * 20", the fourth layer 5 * pi * 22"... The total hose would be the sum of the 4 layers, so 5 * pi * 16 + 5 * pi * 18 + 5 * pi * 20 + 5 * pi * 22 = 5 * pi * (16 + 18 + 20 + 22) = 5 * pi * 76 = 380 * pi = 1193.8" or 99.48 ft... Ooops... I just realized that you asked this question 2 years ago... Oh well... Maybe the answer will help someone in the future... :)
@@CurmudgeonExtraordinaire thanks for all that calculations. I have 2 100 foot hoses im thinking about trying this video idea out on... Im in america and my hoses are kinda thick. This set up could possibly be modified for an out door reel that has the ability to connet to the faucet without unreeling the entire reel ... and as you say you cant just get a perfect wind up on the reel so i would allow for several extra turns so it fits without having to be perfect on the reel job

Thank you Mike. This is an excellent idea, clearly described and thoughtfully presented. I wish there were more content of this quality on TH-cam
what a perfect video solution. I'll be sure to pass it forward Mike! I can't wait to try to make this and will link your video. Thanks again.
Excellent Explanation ! Thank you for taking the time to create this very instructive video. Good Bless you and your family !

thank you for your generous guides.
Thanks for this nice project ...you unsparing me to make one...thankx

Good video and instructions! I'm going to make a scaled down version for my 10 meter air hose. Thanks again.
Very well done. Your version is much more sensible than anything I was able to dream up.
Thanks for your appreciation and I hope you get many years of use, as I have. Good luck with all your DIY projects. Sincerely, Mike
Thanks for your appreciation and I hope you get many years good use out of your reels - as I have. Good luck with all your DIY projects. Sincerely, Mike
That is really useful, thank you. I have numerous uses i will now apply this too. Great video
how do we get this design to stay parked next to an outlet so that you can unreel half of it and still plug it in for use?
Great job. Will be making a couple for myself.
That is good to know. Very important to cut the cross pieces dead true and square. Good luck with all of your DIY projects
Really enjoyed the tips. Great job!
Thanks for your appreciation and I hope you get many years good use out of your reels - as I have. Good luck with all your DIY projects. Sincerely, Mike
Ok..thank you friend..now im do it..
How long is the hose that can be fitt in this reel?
In the early part of the video I give you the information you ask for, with a diagram. Good luck with your project. Sincerely, Mike
