Paper Towel Holder
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I had made a desk for my 6 year old son. The desk had a back shelf supported by a row of arches cut from English walnut. In this project, I use the leftover cutouts from these arches to make the sides of a paper towel holder. The two sides are connected by two strips of black walnut which also hold the piece to the underside of the kitchen cabinet. The walnut strips and sides are attached together with a dovetail joint. I also use a scrap piece of black walnut for the axle to hold the paper towels between the two sides. I turn the axle on the lathe to make a tenon at each end to fit into a round hole in each of the sides. This helps hold the axle in place. I also turn a wide channel between the tenons on the axle to hold the paper towel in place.

I've avoided this video for so long bc I thought a simple paper towel holder would be utterly boring. I was pleasantly surprised. Very interesting to see (and hear) your thought process. Such a simple item, but a complex process. Thanks!
+IV Woodworking good to hear, thanks
HAHA You unrolled a whole roll of paper towels for the last shot, nice!
Or maybe he really rolled it in... Who knows ;-)
How do you prepare your beeswax/linseed oil finish? I have never heard of that before you mentioned it, but it seems to have such a soft and warm quality.
How in the world did you get your tools to walk for you? I have been training my tools with treats but have no luck at all.
Have you tried Reece's Pieces?
Try a whip and a chair
I used a commercial product ( I did not mix it my self) It's called Tried and True Original Wood finish. Polymerized Linseed Oil and Beeswax.
I would never have thought of using those "washers" to keep it in place. Gravity wins again.
the stop frame animation is awesome, had me cracking up, love the squeaky clamp!
You're awesome - I hope you get your own show
How do you find time to do the wood working....everyone notices the editing (which is great)....but what about all the time doing camera setup.....and the stop motion. Wow.
You must have a bunch of leprechauns in your shop to get all those things done without you. I can see their work but cannot see them. Hmmm....
Thx
Alan Stratton
he said "dumb", but what I heard was "not enough work"
Now you should make a wooden fridge
Excellent Frank, what is your mix ratio for the beeswax/linseed oil finish.
Take care
Mike
Wonderful production Sir. Wonderful.

for the beeswax and linseed oil how to do mix it part wise like 2 part linseed to 1 part beeswax or what cause I wouldn't mind trying it
Ha ha I wondered about what to do with those pieces, glad you noticed those.
Run a strip of wood over the front as a "ripping bar" for the paper towel. Atleast that's all I would do to change this.
kody Frase that's what I thought of too while watching at the end. ☺️
Your method of loading the paper (as seen in the final scene) seems a bit cumbersome.
haha!
thanks! 2 or 3 days, there is a lot of fine tuning.
I love your videos! Talking through the design process is very beneficial
My kids watch all your videos to the very end, where they then suggest that I should click thumbs-up. Just thought you might like to hear from that part of your audience.
perhaps make a spring thingy that holds the paper in plase, it would be easier to rip off a sheet, and not have the whole roll come after you.
Okay So now I like your haircut too.
ah cmon! Cloth is as biodegradable than paper towel. Just takes a little bit lonjger. Are you aware of all the energy used in the process of cutting down, transporting it to the factory, packing it, transporting it to the selling point, the consumer transporting it to its house, then. The cloth is bought once and can be used for decades if taken care of. The paper towel has a useless pakacking that will only get wasted. Do the math. The cloth wins, by alot.
First, I don't disagree that many of us are far to wasteful when it comes to the products we use, and paper towel is one thing that many people use too wastefully, so I agree with you on that point.
Second, most of the "tree farms" were planted when wood product companies began to realize they could not continue what had been standard practice in many parts of the world.
Lastly, import regulations make it nearly impossible for the US to be responsible for continuing harvest of virgin forests.
We had to destroy tons of forests, precious biodiversity, to be able to make those tree farms. Yet, we are still cutting more and more of the last virgin forests around the world. Everything you do daily has a huge impact. we are now 6 billions, time to wake up and realize that.
I stand my point, we ought to reduce our footprint and paper towels are a good start. Now for some finishing process I understand it is critical to have a clean piece of towel. Now dry you hands another way ..
Where I'm from we use hydroelectricity. There are tons of alternative much more sustainable energy source than charcoal, coal and nuclear. Now, going with your logic, everything is, which is somehow true. But if we can, wouldn't we want to at least reduce the waste we use? Trees are renewable in theory, but barely applied in today's world, due to excess demand from rich countries, a.k.a. us. I love this guys' videos and knowing he has influence, which could be used for more practical projects.
Very Good! Love the dovetail idea! Much better than just a screw! ADds to teh look of it as well.
Chris
Yes, paper towel holder is desperately needed…………I’m not kidding
Making the dove was impressive but in the end when you were going to screw it anyway below the cabinet, you might as well have screwed the support piece rather than making the dove, Just my 2cents, Great efforts with the wood and camera!
Indeed it has. Once. If the cloth is used for several years, imagine how many paper towels you actually use. In the end the cloth wins, period : )
I was just shared my opinion. I respect the guy's talent and passion.
You did not show how to put the rolling pin in the paper towel. There is a chance that pin may come out loose.
ha ha! good.
This looks like a perfect solution for a crappy plastic towel holder I have in-place in a high-traffic laundry / garage-to-house entrance room. The one challenge with that towel holder is that there is no friction keeping the roll from spinning rapidly with a one-handed tug and dispensing many more towels than desired.
As a result, I'm thinking that a gently sprung, friction inducing "widget" against the spindle or against the towels themselves might be a useful additional element. Thoughts?
Your shop crew look somewhat like you, I still haven't found those clamps yet but I'm not sure of the name. Great video Frank, thanks for the laugh.
At 3 min there's 3 franks, 3 sides on a triangle, triangle for the illuminati, FRANK Y U IN THE ILLUMINATI?
How about cutting an angle pattern in side faces? That way you put the rod from front rather than from side. But then we need to think of such shape :D Always love watching your work.
nice video once again....
the space on the top of the holder is good for storing herbs...
maybe next project some spice wooden jars ?
I made something similar (not so elegant of course), and found the axel was so slippery that the roll tended to continue spinning and unroll itself. I put a couple of heavy rubber bands (from broccoli from the supermarket) on the axel and it then handled perfectly.
Once again made great
hi frank... great design! buy the way how do you get your tools and parts to move on their own like that? absolutely brilliant!......cheers
thank you Frank you are a fast one that is for sure lol good use for scraps
I would really like a tour of your house. I'm sure its gorgeous.
Ah thanks.
Cheers
Mike
There are far more trees in the US than there were 100 years ago. Trees are renewable in practice as well as in theory.
Hi Frank, what's the actual name of your digital angle finder thingy so I can purchase one, cheers, love your work.
I don't know if you have ever tried this trick; but when I have two sides that need to look Identical and are more than just straight cuts, like curves, I hot glue them together. Then I can cut and sand them at the same rate and they will be identical. I have used double stick tape as well with the same outcome.
Nice. Love the stop motion. Must take lots of time.
Great video Frank and a very nice idea with the washers to stop the rail from dropping. but i really have to ask, how long it took to make the dovetails? Wouldn't it have been easier to cut them by hand, with a saw? it had to have taken a lot of time. i'm not trying to be mean or anything, i love your work...
keep it up, best of luck brother
New to your channel and loving your work so far. I like how you toss in the animations, although they are silly. Reminds me of Marry Poppins! haha
Love your videos!!! Informative & the best editing ever:-)
Hey Frank Love the special effects !! It really adds to your clips Thanks and keep up the good work.
I don't know why I like watching you make random things so much. Thanks for the hours of entertainment :)
Wow you roll your own paper towels great work every few are willing to put in the time these days.
great animation techniques. i wonder what software you use for editing your videos :P
that towel has been on the floor kid, go get a fresh roll!
What a complete waste of time over build
amazing man, plus all thatvideo editing, that towel holder looks like it was always there
you bet. your presentation is fantastic.Keep up with your good work.
Haha, I loved how the clamp ''walked'' off the table.
Nice work too!
Great editing!
Who uses Paper Towel these days? such a waste of precious ressources...
Fabulous video technique 👌
wow, amazing video,love your work, just subscribed, and omg, that is the biggest disk sander i have ever seen!
Why do you wear a mask using the lathe?
Simon Bennett Keep the chips out of his teeth.
Love the videos. Great work. You have an amazing shop.
thats what happens if you comment on the middle of the video lol
Anyone else find frank's wood working videos relaxing to watch??
Were you able to reuse this nice little item after the kitchen remodel ?
I cannot train my shop to do these tings. So very enjoyable. They may need to add a category at next years Oscars for best woodworking stop action made at home shop video. You have my vote!
Wonderful job Frank!
i love this video u shoud be a movie director lol
Hi Frank
Just look at all the room you have in your shop.
How much to buy one?
he used about 45$ worth of walnut
if you did it yourself that's what it would cost including glue , someone else prob sell that for 60-70$ . that's what i would charge
Super video. An absolute joy to watch. Thank you.
I like your woodworking almost as much as your film making. Your videos are wonderfully charming, and thoughtful, and funny. Thanks for sharing them.
I love watching woodworking videos of all kinds and you are making the most creative, enjoyable videos around. I love your stop motion and audio! The woodworking is interesting too :)
WOW, all your video's are great! I love the video editing! Super entertaining...very unlike my shitty vid's haha
Very nice. What kind of drill bits are those?
I believe that's a forstner bit.
...em 3:26 tinha uma engrenagem? ...me lembrei de Matthias.
Great video as usual I really enjoyed it. Nice project too.
I never thought I would enjoy watching a paper towel holder being made as much as I enjoyed watching this! Excellent!
i wanna learn how to do this... keep it up
nice work thanks for the great post!!
great work
Yes.
Great effects along with very good woodworking. Thanks Frank. Enjoy your video's.

Great video as always Frank, please keep them coming!!! I am a fan!!!
If only I had a lathe
Look at all that room!
Your stop animation is sweet.
