My dad made me a couple of them. He took some small blocks of wood, sanded smooth on the edges, drilled a small hole in the center for a dowel, also a small hole on the side for a wire hanger that he took apart and straightened. Then he made a curl in the top. I took a small top for a cattle syringe and cut the end off and stuck it into the curl and set my big spool on the dowel and voila!! Cheap and holds it just fine.
