What can I do with these large spools?

[calendula]

Thank you for all these great ideas! I'm liking the table idea, so I think I may use one for that, and I think I may use the other one as some kind of birdfeeder.

1. picnic tables
2. goat toys
3. outside chicken brooders (place wire around it)
4. chicken roosts

we picked up 7 of these last summer for 5 bucks apiece. have used them for some of the stuff mentioned here already.
DH used 2 of them in his shop, just bolted old used pieces of plywood on top and viola work tables.

I just got 4 nice big ones. I'm using 2 for picnic tables and 2 for the goats.
I think I'll cut the two for the table in half and make 4 out of them.

Also, you can use them to play on yourself if your up to it. Standing on them and rolling around you feel like your in the circus!

Or, like a lumber jack.

You could put a pole between them for an axle, then build a plywood or metal box on top of that to make a big, strong garden cart. Either separate them to make 4 wheels or use as is.

I remember when I had my first apartment and I used a spool for my coffee table.

I had one in my dorm in college.

That is a good idea!

This is funny. I couldn't figure out what to use them for before, and now I can't decide between all these great ideas.

That means you'll just have to get more!
