  • I think by now, we all know about the "trying times" and our lives have been inconvenienced more than we had anticipated. I know mine has!
    I wanted to build something that was a little bit of a joke, as many people are still having trouble finding Toilet paper. I thought to my self, what is everyone doing with their stockpiled toilet paper?
    So I made a Toiler paper Tower, something to hold and organize your Toilet Paper while still.
    I built this using some scrap wooden slats from an old bed, starting off by gluing op the boards so that I got the width I needed.
    Next after planing the wood, I should have sanded it, but I did that at the end. I measured a roll of my triple-ply plush TP giving me my overall width and depth. I decided to store 4 rolls and then using 1 would be ideal.
    I had intended to drill a 1 1/4" hole through one board and partially though the next but in my haste realized that I had the boards facing the wrong direction, so I just went all the way through.
    I went with simple glued and nailed mitred joints that were less than simple to nail together, If you happen to have a nail gun then you won't have any issues. I, unfortunately, do not so I struggled.
    Since I didn't have any round stock that matched any of my Forstner bits I took the closest scrap closet rod and reduced it on the lathe.
    After a coat of Tung oil, it was finished!
    I hope you enjoyed the project, and please stay safe!

    Hello my friend. This is a great project. Practical and fully homemade. I watched you curiously. The Toilet Paper Tower work well. Perfect work and ideas all the time. Congratulations. Thank you for sharing.
    I wish you healthy days. Great greetings. See you.

    The opening clips of your sketching out the plan looked is very clever. I compliment you on going old school. It was nice to watch someone use a hammer and nails. The end results looks very nice, sir!!

      Thank you! I realized now that I sort of have an intro format so from time to time I like to draw out what I will be making. And I like to leave it out of focus so no one can see my terrible drawing and writing 😆

    I really love the opening shot of your brilliant ( I still want one) pencil case and sketchbook. It's great to see some one still making physical sketches of projects, no just throwing together a plan in sketch up ( _I'm guilty of that_ ). The final project looks brilliant 😅

      I love the pencil box, and want to try a box joint version whenever I end up with a flat tooth saw-blade :)

    Excellent vid Adam, I really enjoy your take on story-telling and presentation. And thanks for leaving in the Saga of the Bendy Nails - I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person in the world who doesn't have a whizzy compressed-air nail gun. Cheers mate.

      Lol, the nail gun would have made things a lot faster, I had to disassemble off camera to fix it all. But I’m not sure I have scene a nail on UA-cam for quite some time.
