Tape Holder Build

One thing that I find is extremely important to being productive is to stay organized. Now that I have a workshop I can use I needed somewhere to store my copious amount of tape. Necessity being the mother of invention I decided to just make something to suit my needs.

I came up with a design in my head that I realize now is very similar to a thread holder for sewing.

I took some scrap wood and a dowel I found in my workshop and marked it up to the sizes I wanted.

I cut the wood to the desired length with my chop saw.

Marking two of the thinner pieces of wood that would become the center of the holder. I took a forcer bit and and drilled a hole that would hold the dowels.

I laid out the wood as a mockup to see if the design would work.

It did, so I fastened everything together with wood screws.

I then glued all the dowels into place with wood glue.

Then it was finished. It was a quick simple project but it definitely will come in handy along with keeping me organized.
