Pegboard holder for toilet paper roll

Obvious questions might arise from viewing this thing: Why would you mount toilet paper on 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 sense and is really handy. This roll of toilet paper isn't for the usual purpose. I often need a small amount of paper towel to clean up small things, and an entire paper towel is more than I need. I used to tear paper towels into smaller pieces, but then I realized that TP was exactly what I needed - a smaller piece of paper towel for small clean-up jobs. I discovered this while working with caulk on the house, but then applied it to working with bikes. Greasy parts often need a quick wipe down, and toilet paper is perfect for grabbing, wiping up grease, and tossing it out. Previously, I kept the roll on the workbench and grabbed as needed, but since I already had a toilet paper holder for the shop bathroom, I realized I should just mount it. With pegboard by the workbench, it was a perfect opportunity to use my pegboard 2-position blank and modify an existing design. I looked at designs, found one that looked promising, and loaded it up in Sketchup. I cut it down a bit before importing the pegboard blank and attaching it to the back. In use, it works great. I'm not sure why it took me so long to think of this. Regreasing Shimano pedals, grease gets pressed out and needs cleaning up, and I just reach up and grab a couple sheets of TP. It's quick, handy, and less wasteful than using an entire sheet of paper towel for the same job.
