Christmas Light String Storage - reduces next year's unravelling frustration

Roll up your string of tree lights on this reel. It will reduce the anxiety next year when unraveling the lights.  During the unroll this year, the tangled lights brought me anxiety.  So, I am going to try this in January and December 2023.

I made the assembly fit over a broom handle if you want to use the handle as an axle. 

One half slides over the other with a press fit.  

The basic pair provides a coil about 150 mm outside diameter x 70 mm width.

If you use the optional tall shaft male half, the width is about 170 mm.

I am guessing you can get about 25-30 feet on the smaller pair and possibly double that on the larger pair.
