Boy, you do not know how many times I have told myself to whip one of these things out! I just hate the plastic one we have, yet I still need to do this. Thanks for the reminder. And good job, I did notice the router work on the base 8-)

Looks nice! How did you make the little bulge in the base for the smaller rod? Did you freehand that, or use a compass and French curve, or something?

It was the width of the wood that set the size. the paper roll was 6 ” so the big circle is 7 ”, after that to the edge was about 1 1/2” so I set the circle thingie’ from the 7 ” circle to the edge, and drew another circle. set the 1/4 rod in between the two circles and the 1 1/8” center rod was the center of the big circle, both rods are 13 ”.
yes I burned it with the router (too slow and kind of shaky) that speed scares me ! Had to make two cuts with the router, the lip was too small on the first pass. it still needs another two coats of poly.
But she needed another one to replace the plastic one, she loves it
