I bet the Telephone Museum in Ellsworth (to which I'm now a newly appointed board member) probably has a lasher in its collection. Not sure if they loan out tools for this type of work, but I don't see why not. I hope to one day get more outside plant on display at the museum.

I know somebody also made an even simpler and inexpensive manual lasher but I believe that was Cable Spinning that seems to be out of business.

Hmmm, I think it's coming back to me about the Cable Spinning manual lasher. I think I remember something like a packing tape gun. You load a spool of lashing wire onto it and wrap it around the cables as you keep tension on it.

Funny you should mention these, my first idea was to tape a packing gun on a pipe. Then I discovered the Q lasher, which gave me the idea of making my own spools and dispenser, which evolved into my current model.

The problem with the hand lasher is you need two hands, so you can't hold the cable bundle, and it gets tiring on long runs, because the wire spool is heavy.

I had two more wiring week-ends and the lasher is still going strong!
The only problem was with the wire. In my original post I said "a standard 1200' reel of lashing wire was transferred to two homemade spools".
If this transfer is not done carefully, spooling nice and even rows of wire, the wire tends to jam.

The lasher is also magical: every time I take it out it starts raining cats and dogs.

"Some improvements are needed:
- find a better way to hold the two halves together; "

Two of my favorite things:

Google and Velcro.

I'm sure ONE of those will solve your assembly problem.
