content: So instead of something barely 100mm long it's now ~150mm and can accommodate the smaller solder reels or in this case a big cotton bobbin:BOM2.5mm HT fencing wire, 1/8" copper tube, 3/8" copper ferrule and custom steel buttons for the reel to center on.Still, what will be it's purpose ?

content: Fishing line reel winder, seen them used to wind 1KG solder rolls onto smaller 200g ones, if you disconnect the ratchet it would work exactly as you want.Otherwise, something as simple as this,http://www.lapsun.com/soldering-solder-wire-reel-dispenser-holder-stand-tin-management-spool-feeder_p1008.htmlHave its base weighted, and just spin the piece in your hands.As to the purpose, I'm left thinking BLDC motor coil
