Step 2
Cut out the side pieces.

Step 3
Round the edges of the side pieces with sandpaper.

Step 4
Drill a hole in the center of each side piece for the rod.

Step 6
Sand all of the pieces and then join the sides to the top piece using a butt joint (definition). We recommend you use small screws, nails, or biscuits (definition) to secure the butt joint. 

Step 7
Using the template provided on page 1, turn the Paper Towel Holder's rod on your lathe.

Note: Don't have a lathe? You can use a regular dowel available at most hardware stores. Click here for a tip on how to groove the dowel.

Step 9
Mount the paper towel holder to the wall or the bottom of your cabinet. - Enjoy!
