This is my first real Scrollsaw project. I found a picture on the internet of one I liked so I sort of copied it. The bolt/washer/nut was my idea, the one I copied had a dowel with a ball on the end.

Made from Black Walnut.

Yeah the picture had a ball on the end of a dowel, too girly for me, I wanted a more industrial look. just a guy thing.

Nice Herb. I too like the wooden bolt and nut. Way cool.
That. Is. Awesome.

Would love more details on how you did the threaded rod and nut.

I’m with you , the bolt makes it for me
Thats the most useful thing I have ever seen done with a scroll saw.

Well that has to be the fanciest TP hanger I've ever seen. Even has a beer holder shelf! Let's face it, TP doesn't get the respect it deserves and most people don't even realize it till it isn't there. I remember waaay back when I was just a lad working at the UVA Police department and living out in the country heading home after the 4-12 shift. That bad feeling hitting you in the middle of nowhere and still 10-15 minutes from home. Home being a crappy one bedroom efficiency with a really small bathroom being just a small corner sink and crapper. My first wife of just weeks had gotten a kitten that had been trouble all day so she put it in the bathroom to get it out of the way for a while. When I finally got home and into that bathroom the only thing I saw was that kitten and that last roll of TP shredded all over the floor. I could only think of one alternative but instead I tossed the kitten out of the room. I was not a happy camper. Experience tells me shredded TP is a very poor choice but better than none at all. Nough said.

Herb, that holder is fit for a king. Nice touch.

Turned out great, Herb. You'll have to make a longer one for paper towels too.

Nice paper holder Herb. I also like the beer holder top. A great touch with the threaded rod and nuts. Do you keep the wrenches nearby for a quick change or must you run out to the shop for them? :)
