Magnetic Paper Towel Holder

By: Woodsmith staff
Keeping things tidy in the shop means having paper towels at the ready. This handy shop-made dispenser lets you put rolls close to where you need them in the shop.

Paper towels often come in handy while working in the shop. To always have them close by, I made this magnetic shop towel holder out of a dowel and some plywood.

The holder isn’t difficult to make. I just ripped a plywood blank to width and then cut it into three pieces to make the sides and back, as shown. Using the table saw, I created a tongue and dado joint between the back and sides to add strength. Next I drilled holes in the back and screwed in cups to accept magnets.

To complete the sides, I routed stopped slots to hold the dowel, and then I rounded the front edges at the band saw. After assembly, my new paper towel holder was ready for a roll.
