Message Cube by Sam Allen Note pads using adding machine paper rolls are not new but they take up a lot of desk space and the paper rolls from the top down so any additions to a list must be made at the top rather than the bottom. This compact note paper dispenser overcomes these drawbacks, The plans are for a 2Va" wide roll of paper but you can change dimensions to suit other sizes. Begin by nailing two Vt" hardboard sides to the V* " pine sides to form a box. Next, close the top of the box with a piece of hardboard. Leave a small gap between the back of the box and the top for the paper to pass. Round the edges of the top along the gap to help the paper slide easily. Use contact cement to fasten two strips of 1/16" plastic laminate that form the paper guides; then cover the four sides of the box with 1/16" laminate. The top edges of all four sides should be flush with the top of the paper guides. On the front file out an exit notch between the guides and down to the hardboard top. Cut a square of laminate to fit the cube top and lay out an opening 2V»" wide x 3Vi" long. Drill a */♦" hole in each corner of the opening and cut between the holes with a coping saw. Use a fine file to smooth the cut edges. Roughen the tops of paper guides with sandpaper and cement the top to them. File the edges of the top flush with the sides. The edge that is over the exit slot should be beveled to form a tear-off blade. The base of 3/i " pine is centered on the bottom and held with two countersunk screws. Paint the base black or a color that contrasts with the laminate. To add paper, only one screw needs to be removed; the base will pivot on the other screw. To install paper, cut a 12" strip from the roll and push it through the front slot, working it down through the slot at the back. Push about 6" inside the box, letting the rest ex tend out the exit slot. Use tape to connect the end inside the box to the end of the roll, then pull the other end to thread the roll paper through the guide. When the roll is almost empty, a red strip will appear on the edge of the paper. When this happens, open the cube and cut the old roll off. Tape the end of a new roll to the old paper and pull it through. LaMIMKTE 16 FUKH WITH TOP OP PAPER 6UIOES R»J=£K GDIPE PAPER.
