I have requests for showing how I thread the bolt and nuts in the TP Dispenser Post.

It is the same way that you thread metal rods,and tap metal plate for bolts.
I use Slipit for a lubrication so as to not tear out the threads. Here I show an oak dowel and maple nuts.

I use Slipit on drawers rails, drawer slides, and any wood that needs to slide.

I'd do the old style 4-sided square head machinery nuts to make it easy.

Thanks Herb for showing the process...Like your wooden hinges, I enjoy the uniqueness & extra detail in your projects.

@Dadio  

don't forget there's a choice of TP's...

Or a "WRECKT-ALL" surgeon

Thanks for showing how to do this. Now where do I go to buy the tools to make my own?

Dadio, what is the main ingredient in slipit?  It says a sealing compound but does it double as the glue?  How does it strengthen the threads from fracture?

Lee Valley sells the new Beal system that uses a router now:

Also the one like mine can be bought at Garret Wade:

Thanks Herb,

I was wondering if the TP holders shaft came apart like a regular bolt or not, or if you just slipped the roll over the shaft. 

Nice pictorial tutorial as to how you went about it.

 

@Stick486

The sight of your various forms of TP brought tears to my eyes. OUCH!

It brought back memories of when I had to have surgery after having my first colonoscopy.

Some how when they Roto-Rooted me they tore the rectal lining, and I had to have surgery to correct it.

I couldn't sit for at least 6 weeks, they ended up removing about 40% of my Wrecked Rectum.

Needless to say I refuse to go through that again. That isn't happening, No Way!!!I don't care what they say.

Thanks Herb for sharing.  Good detail.  Danl

Now I don't know what size to buy. What size do you have shown? I may go with 3/4 to 1 ".

hex nuts become oval nuts after sufficient pressure from slip joint pliers is applied.....

Ovals would be real easy to turn by hand like a wing nut...
