Kraft 3' Paper Roll Dispenser/Cutter - Homemade Options?

[Arlin Eastman]

Well, came up w/ a solution - hung 14" long 1 1/2" square oak hangers under the basement stairs attached to the stringers on each side (see pic below); 3/4" holes drilled at the bottom - used some old leftover electrical conduit - the Kraft Paper roll is nearly 6' off the ground but easily reachable  - now need to come up w/ an idea of cutting the paper - Dave

I see you hung up your toilet paper under it.

Hi Guys - well, I made a U-shaped frame w/ 3 hacksaw blades @ the bottom, then attached to the paper roll hanger - works OK but improved by clamping a straight stick on back to hold paper still - might be easier to just use a utility knife?  Now, I cut paper only a few times a year, so just nice to get the Kraft roll out of the way.  Dave


P.S. the other 'roll' is cloth rags - just cut w/ heavy-duty scissors.

Fyi. Free source of paper roll.
Our local newspaper gives away roll ends of paper. With a lot of paper left.
Not that heavy, but has it's uses.
