Minimal Paper Towel Holder...to keep that counter top clear of clutter.

I used scrap wood from previous projects to make this but if you are buying new, here's your list...

Materials:

1 1/4" dowel

3/4" dowel

1x2" common board


Tools:

saw

wood glue

screws

drill

3/4" spade bit


Cut your 1x2 and 1 1/4" dowel to 13" - this will be the top and bottom

Cut your 3/4" dowel to 4" - this will attach the top and bottom pieces


Mark 1" into each of the top and bottom pieces


Use a 3/4" spade bit to gently drill a half inch into each piece where you marked.


Do this on both the top and bottom pieces.

Fill the hole on the 1x2 with wood glue and insert 3/4" dowel. Insert 1" screw for stability.





Make sure you predrill your hole.

Attach the 1x2 to the underside of your cabinet in desired location with screws.


Once mounted, fill the hole on the larger dowel with wood glue and attach it to the 3/4" dowel with a screw for extra stability. I filled this hole with wood filler to hide the screw.


Slide that paper towel roll on and you are good to go!

    Did you drill through the bottom shelf of the cabinet to mount it? Great idea.

    Very creative. I love the look of your kitchen. I noticed you originally or still have one made from pipe, do you still use it?
