    Paper Towel Holder
    Plan#03-400

    a challenge. We like to use scrap wood on something worth while. This is why we
    decided to add this useful yet simple-to-build paper towel holder to our list of free
    plans. This project costs virtually nothing and requires little time to complete.

    Finish used for this project: water-based Flecto Varathane Diamond Wood
    Finish, in a satin sheen.

    Overall dimensions: 6” long x 6” high x 13” wide

    Note: Please make sure to read all instructions before starting the project.

    BEFORE YOU START

    Make sure to read all the instructions, observe all the illustrations and go
    over the material list. It is a good habit to verify that all measurements indicated
    on each illustration corresponds to the text instructions and material list. Once
    you are comfortable with the project plan instructions, select the tools and
    equipment that you desire to make your cuts with. Go over the
    material/hardware you need and make sure to add extra material for the project.
    If you are having difficulty in finding the hardware for the project, go to our web
    site at knottyplans.com and look up the Hardware section.

    THE PAPER TOWEL HOLDER

    This particular paper towel holder was build from pine but other types of
    wood can be used to match existing cupboards and kitchen accessories. The
    sides can be fastened to the back piece with dowels or with screws and then
    covered with wooden plugs. The paper roll is supported by a 1” dowel. It has one
    fixed pin at one end and a pin and spring at the other end. This way the paper roll
    can be changed easily. Refer to the Exploded View illustration for the project
    presentation.

    THE SIDE

    The paper towels holder sides are identical. From a 3/4" stock, cut two
    pieces measuring 6” by 6”. On each piece, make two 1 1/2” corner round cuts
    (as shown) and drill a 3/8” by 1/4” hole positioned 4” from the center back. The
    round corner can be made with a jig saw or scroll saw. If you don’t have a jig saw
    or scroll saw you can always used a compass saw or leave it square. After, the
    corners have been rounded, smoothed them with 180 grit sandpaper. Refer to
    the Side View illustration for more details.

    THE BACK

    The back piece holds the sides and the paper roll support. From a 3/4"
    stock, cut one piece measuring 6” by 13”. Attach sides A and B to the back piece
    with dowels and glue. Refer to Back View illustration for more details.

    THE PAPER ROLL SUPPORT

    The paper roll support is made with a 1” by 12 1/2" dowel. At one end of
    the dowel, drill a 3/8” diameter hole by ½” deep and at the other end of the dowel
    drill a 3/8” diameter hole by 1 ¼” deep. Pin1 is made with a 3/8” diameter by 1’
    dowel and it is fixed with glue inside the paper roll support at the end where you
    drilled the 3/8” dia. X ½” hole. At the other end (3/8” dia. X 1 ¼” hole), you will fix
    pin2, which is also a 3/8” diameter by 1” dowel piece, but is attached with a small
    ¼” diameter spring. You should use epoxy to glue the spring to pin 2 and to the
    paper roll support. The total length of the paper roll support with the pins should
    be greater than 13” and pin2 length should vary when pressed against the sides
    because of the spring. You can adjust the spring tension to achieve a proper fit.
    This permits easy removal of the paper roll support when replacing an empty
    paper towel roll. Refer to Paper Roll Support Parts illustration for more details.

    FINISHING YOUR PROJECT

    Make sure that there is no trace of glue on the wood. For best results, use
    150 grit sandpaper for soft wood and100 grit sandpaper for hardwood.

    To finish your project, you may use clear varnish, stain or even paint. If
    using paint, make sure to seal the knots with Shellac before painting. Enjoy your
    new paper towel holder.
