I am going to build a cubby for my paper towels in a kitchen drawer. It will not have a face plate on it. What can I use as my paper towel holder? Ideally, I would like to use a retractable rod similar to ones used for toilet paper, but I cant find one long enough.
Tension rods work, the problem is it's length. If so, cut away one or both end. Use the ends of the rod, where the co ers for the metal are, remove coverings, attach them to the new shorter rod, and use it ,that way.
look for closet rod support flange set at your local home improvement store. They come in lots of finishes and prices. Then just cut a dowel to fit your space.
Voila !
Use draw slide bars and attach the stationary ones on each side of the opening. The other slide bar usually on the draws, drill holes on each side big enough for a standard screw to fit in. The screw in the screws on each end of a wooden rod, leaving 1/4" of the screws grooves showing. You can make several of these rods and put on tinfoil, Saran Wrap ect. behind the paper towels which you can access very easily by pulling out the draw bar system you installed. To connect the rods just insert the screws in the holes you made on the sliding bar.

Would a tension rod not be the answer?

easy peasie!
Here is a link to a InterDesign Forma Paper Towel Holder for Kitchen/Wall Mount/Under Cabinet Mount in Brushed Stainless Steel on Amazon. It like the cheap plastic ones you use to be able to find in the stores. http://www.amazon.com/InterDesign-Forma-Paper-Holder-Kitchen/dp/B000KIHMR6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1457365883&sr=8-3&keywords=paper+towel+rack+wall+mount
Boy, I could see us going through a lot more paper towels if we had this....great idea!!!!!

You have probably finished this already, but what my builder did was made a shorter drawer that we could store extra paper towels and trash bags in it. Then he attached this https://www.amazon.com/Kamenstein-Perfect-Mount-Holder-Stainless/dp/B0024AKCTS/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1469377906&sr=1-2-spons&keywords=paper+towel+holder&psc=1 It works great! Ours is in the island above the trash.
