    Project 15157EZ:

    Paper Towel
    Holder
    The standard paper towel holder is an
    uninspired piece of plastic that is normally
    attached to a wall. It can hardly be consid-
    ered portable or suitable for use on the
    dinner table. Tearing off the towels usually
    turns into a two-handed process as too
    often the energetic one-handed approach
    results in the entire roll popping out and
    ending up in a sink full of dishwater or all
    over the kitchen floor. This attractive paper
    towel holder, in addition to overcoming
    these problems, will fit in well with both
    kitchen and dining room decors. We used
    oak for all parts. If you can’t get oak dowel
    stock locally, it can be ordered.

    Paper Towel Holder Complete Schematic
    Paper Towel Holder Step-by-Step
    Instructions
    1. Edge join sufficient 3/4" stock to be able to cut the circles of Parts A, B, and
    F.
    2. Use a compass to scribe the three circles on the stock.
    3. Use a band or jig saw to cut the circles.
    4. Use double-faced tape to temporarily join Parts A and B.
    5. Use a disc sander to true up the edges of Parts A and B.
    6. Draw a concentric 8" diameter circle on the bottom of Part A.
    7. Set a pair of dividers to the radius distance (4") to divide the circle into six
    equal arcs.
    8. Start at the diameter line intersection and “walk” the dividers around the
    circle.
    9. Use a drill press to drill 1/2" diameter holes 1-1/8" in depth at five of the six
    points on the circle. Note: the holes should extend through Part A and
    3/8" into Part B.
    10. Put a mark 1/4" to each side of the sixth point scribed on the circle.
    11. Drill 3/8" diameter holes 1-1/8" deep at the two marks.
    12. Separate Parts A and B.
    13. Draw a 6-3/8" diameter concentric circle on Part B.
    14. Use a jigsaw to cut out the circle on the inside of the scribed line.
    15. True the edges of Part F.
    16. Rout a 1/4" deep by 3/8" wide rabbet around the bottom of Part F so it will
    fit into the hole in Part B.
    17. Use a router with a 1/4" rounding bit to round over the top edges of Parts A,
    B, and F.
    18. Sand all three parts thoroughly.
    19. Use a wood screw to attach Part E to the base.
    20. Drill a 1/4" diameter hole through part F and 3/4" into Part G.
    21. Insert Part H into the hole in Parts F and G and glue into Part G.
    22. Purchase Part I and attach to part F via Part H.
    23. Cut Parts C and D to size.
    24. Sand all parts completely.
    25. Glue Parts C and D into the base disc, making sure they are flush with the
    bottom.
    26. Put a drop of glue on the top of each dowel and attach Part B. NOTE: Use
    the glue sparingly and wipe off any excess immediately to avoid affect-
    ing the stain finish.
    27. Apply the stain of your choice.
    28. Add a roll of paper towels, feeding the end through the two guide dowels
    (Parts D).
