Note Caddy

I like to keep some paper close at hand for writing quick notes, hardware needs, and other pieces of information around the shop. Tine problem is being able to always find the paper and pencil. So I built a small caddy to help me record and keep track of these notes when I'm working in the shop.

It uses a roll of adding machine paper and contains a paper cutter and pencil holder for convenience.

The roll of adding machine paper spins on a piece of dowel cut to fit a slot in the plywood body. You'll want to sizq this according to the width of the paper roll you use.

I made the note caddy out of scrap V2" plywood. First I cut the parts to size (see the drawing at right). Then I took a piece of plywood and made thn?e dadoes to form the pencil holder on one side.

A bevel cut horizontally across the back piece allows you to hang the note caddy on a cleat mounted to the wall (see inset photo at left). It can also be quickly removed from the cleat when needed.

I added a piece of hardboard to the front for a smooth writing, surface. A piece of hacksaw blade makes a handy way to cut the paper. A length of wire on the top holds the paper down and keeps it always ready for use.

A Mounting Strip. A 45° angled cut across the wall cleat lets you mount this note caddy to the wall. Just "hook" the top cleat over the wall cleat like a "floating shelf."
