Roller | Old Holder |
The old toilet paper holders in our bath rooms were too low and far too intrusive inside the vanity. I am going to build one that fits mostly inside the vanity up near the sink so it doesn't obstruct storage inside.

![]() | The sides have been cut out and I marked the center line and 1.1385" on each side of the CL. |
![]() | I used a try-square and drew the diagonals on the marks (at 45°). |
![]() | I drilled the roller hole and now I'm using a 45° table saw sled to cut the diagonals. |
![]() | TP Holder ends. Please click for info on how I drill clean holes. Also, you might want to see why the hole is 5/8". |
![]() | This is 3/16" birch plywood, 5-7/8" long. Top, bottom (1.7635"), and back pieces (2.277")cut to width (Len = 5.875"), ready to bevel. |
![]() | I mounted a 22.5° chamfer bit (half of 45° in the router table. I pushed a piece of the material I want to bevel, as a spacer, up against the bit. |
![]() | A little different angle, you can see the plywood is not up against the fence. |
![]() | I lay a flat ruler on top of the piece to be beveled and against the fence then adjust the router bit's height until it is just below (mises) the ruler. |
![]() | Bevels cut on tops, bottoms and backs. |
![]() | Gluing top to ends. Note the 5-1/2" by 5-1/2" block used as an alignment frame. |
![]() | Top being glued to an end, notice the bevel is toward where the back piece goes. |
![]() | All 3 back pieces being glued with a strap for tension. |
![]() | Heres what it looks like installed. |
![]() | Sticks out a long way from the vanity. Note the fake drawer front on the front of the vanity, behind that, and right above the current holder, is where I plan to insert the new holder. |
![]() | Sticks into the storage area about 4", hangs on anything you try to store, especially extra toiletpaper rolls in plastic. |
