Paper towel holder

[Dave Leppo]

I broke the PT holder in the break room @ work, so I installed a replacement.

There are actually two, and I have another in the works, matching but slightly different.

I like it, especially the little 'keyways' you made for the cross bar, VERY nice design solution. Only thing to watch for, maybe, is the points of those 'fleur de lys'. You might find that the roll catches on them as it turns. Tweaking them out a bit further would fix the issue should it arise.

Nice work Goatman! I really like that.

Like I said before, my compliments on an excellent design solution. Very clean, simple and effective.

[Dave Leppo]

Thanks, Ian!

Great design! I really like it. I'm gonna have to add this to my ever growing list of projects to try.

Neat Design. I like key hole design.

[Rob Browne]

With that quality replacement the bosses are going to be breaking things all over the place and blaming you!!

Great design and work, you should be proud.

[Frosty]

Very nice, I like it.

That is very cool. Could you post a pic more from the side? It looks like you chiseled two lines, one inside the other. Did you do that before you fullered it on edge? I think what appeals to me is that you used the mushrooming from the fullering as a design element.

THANKS, ALL!

pig; sorry, no pic, but yes, I incised four lines. The material is 1-1/2" wide. I have a 1/4" and a 1/2" incising chisel. These have a cutting edge, and a "hook" edge which I run along the edge of the bar, setting the distance. I clamp a rail plate onto the anvil to give me a "fence" to lay the bar on. This was dome cold in this case.
then, when you fuller the edges in, the grooves follow to varying degrees depending on the distance from the edge. I'm not as happy with the towel bar in this respect as I am with the attached experiment. Thicker bar works better.
