Pegboard holder for toilet paper roll

thingiverse

Obvious questions which might come from viewing this thing: * Why would you mount toilet paper to pegboard? * Do you have pegboard in your bathroom? * Why is this categorized under tool holders and not bathroom? I know it seems strange, but trust me, it makes perfect sense and it's really handy. This roll of toilet paper isn't destined for the usual purpose. I often need a small amount of paper towel to clean up some small thing, and an entire paper towel is more than I need. I would tear a paper towel into smaller pieces, but at one point I realized that TP was exactly what I needed - a smaller piece of paper towel that I could use for small clean up jobs. I originally discovered this while working with caulk on the house, but then applied it to working with bikes. I often have a greasy part that just needs a quick wipe down, and toilet paper is the perfect thing to grab, wipe up the grease, and toss it out. Previously, I'd just keep the roll on the workbench and grab as I needed, but since I had already printed a different toilet paper holder for the shop bathroom I realized I should just mount it - and since I've got pegboard by the workbench, it was a perfect opportunity to use my 2 position blank and modify an existing design. I looked at designs, and found the source thing which looked promising. It was more than I needed, though, so I loaded it up in Sketchup and cut it down a bit before importing the pegboard blank and attaching it to the back. In use, it works great. Don't know why it took me so long to think of this. Regreasing my Shimano pedals, grease gets pressed out and needed to be cleaned up, and I just reached up and grabbed a couple sheets of TP. Quick, handy, and less wasteful than using an entire sheet of paper towel for the same job.
