Tools & Materials

Materials for the paper towel holder project are simple. You will need a 6”x 6” x 3/4″ base, a 12” long dowel 1/2” in diameter, a 12” long dowel 1-1/4” in diameter, one 2-1/2” Screw, and some glue. Tools are simple too. You need a 1-1/4” in diameter Forstner bit and a 1/2″ diameter Forstner bit, I’ve dropped links at the bottom.

Size Your Parts

First thing to do is to size your parts. Cut the base 6”x 6” square or if you ate making it round make it 7” in diameter. Next cut both dowels to 12” in length.

Sand

Sand all the parts with 220 grit sandpaper

Drilling

Drill a 1-1/4” x 3/16” hole in the center top. Then drill a 1/4″ Hole through the center. Off one corner mark a center point in 3/4” x 3/4” and drill a 1/2” x 3/16 deep hole. Forstner bits do a perfect job of making a flat bottom hole.
