    Default Toilet Paper Holder

    Yep that's right, exactly what it says in the title.

    I already have a paper towel dispenser mounted on the shelving and use that to clean up generally. I have also been using tissues to apply finishes among other things. I thought that I would switch to the using a more squarer soft paper. I found that this was forever getting dirty as it lived all over the garage.

    So I thought that I should turn a dowel on the lathe and mount this to the wall. The chipboard that I used was from an Ikea table that I used on another project. Those interested take a look at this link, https://www.woodworkforums.com/f69/pen-storage-solution-187112

    I gave it a coat of white paint as it did not look pretty. I know it's still not pretty but at least it's the same colour.

    All comments are welcomed, good and bad.

    Looks good to me. I find that it's not about pretty, but functional.

    Sorry I should have mention that the picture was taken outside prior to the holder been mounted on the garage wall. The plastic tub was used to give some background as the pathway is worn out green.

    Christos, I hope your shed visitors don't think you have a chronic intestinal problem!

    My better half has a penchant for throwing out sheets & other excellent rag material long before I reckon they've haddit, but I don't whine about the 'waste' too loudly, or my plentiful supply might dry up. However, I have never figured out a good way to store them so that they are easily available in an emergency. The only way I can keep them clean & dust-free is to store them in a cupboard. That makes it awkward when there's an emergency & I've just used up the last rag on the bench, & my hands are covered with whatever it is I'm trying to wipe up. Apart from smearing the cupboard doors, there usually isn't a conveniently-sized bit available, & I have to try & tear off a strip without getting muck all over the rest. On top of it all, the rags are often stuffed in untidily, so I spill half of them on the floor, adding to the general chaos.

    So now that you've mentioned it, your dunny-roll-in-the-shed looks like a good solution for emergencies - of several kinds! ......

    Cheers,
    IW
