Make a paper towel rack that will hold the roll without it falling off every time that you pull a towel off. This rack can be mounted on a wall of under a shelf.

Start with a ¾” thick board that is 5” wide and 11 ½” long. Draw a radius on each end of the board. Draw an “L” shaped notch on each end of the board. The notches should start on the edge of the piece where the radius intersects with the flat side of the board and on each end of the board. The leg of the notch should be ¾” X 3 ¼” with the “L” section being 1 ¼” X ¾”.Next install a 3/8” round over bit in the router. It is best if the router is a table mounted router with a starter pin installed in the table. You can use a hand held router with a clamp to hold the board. If you are using a hand held router you will have to move the clamp a few times. Route all sides of the board. Flip the board over and repeat routing the other sideNow cut out the areas to be notched on both ends of the board using a jig saw or band saw. Sand all areas and make sure that a ¾” board will slide into the

notches. Cut the board into two equal pieces. These will become the side pieces

Next cut a board ¾” X 1 3/8” X 15 3/8”. Draw a radius on both ends of this board and draw a ¾”x ¾” notch on each end of the board. These notches should be about 1” in from each end and 11 3/4” between them. Round over all sides of the board using the router. Flip and round over the other side. Cut the notches

out and sand all edges.

Cut a piece of ½” plywood 5” wide and 13- 3/8” long for the base. Glue and screw the two end pieces to the plywood base. Make sure that the notches are orientated the same way and lineup. You can use a small piece of molding or a thin strip of wood glued to the plywood edges if needed. Drill two small holes equally spaced to mount the rack.  . Apply finish as desired and install
