Step 1:Parts you need to make this
There are 5 pieces of wood used in this project. I cut down a two by four that I salavaged.
1. Base: 3/4 inch pine, 7 1/4 x 11 inches.
2. Two uprights: pieces of 2x4; 2.5x2.5x1.5inches.
3. One crossbar: 2 1/2 x 10 x 1 1/2inch.
4. Tape cutting mount, 2 1/2 x 6 1/4 x 1 1/2inch.
Total= 5 pieces
Two bolts with nuts are needed: 5/16 x4 1/2 bolts with nuts and 2 washers each.
One piece of hacksaw blade, cut or broken to fit the tape cutting mount.
Tape cutting mount,Base,Uprights-2 each and Crossbar,All Pieces needed.
Step 2:Drill holes in wood pieces
The holes are drilled in the two uprights to hold the crossbar with tape in place. Drill the crossbar, uprights and base at the same time so that there is no alignment problem later on. Using a long 3/8 inch bit does the trick.
Also, drill three holes in the hack saw blade to be able to attach it to the cutting block. (Use a 3/32 in bit for these short screws). Three holes are drilled in the botton of the base and into the cutter mounting block. Use a 1/8 inch bit for this step.
- Holes are drilled for bolts in each upright assembly. Counter sink the bottom hole in the base piece, and the crossarm if desired. This way the bolds don't protrude.
- Hacksaw blade drilled and attached.
- Drill holes in the base plate and the mounting block to make it easy to attach with 1 1/2 inch dry wall screws.
Step 3:Attach Hacksaw blade to cutting block
Self explanatory, see picture and image notes.
Short screws are use to attach blade. It extends above the plane of the block by 1/16 to 1/8 inch.
Step 4:Add your tape to crossarm
Choose the tape you want for whatever job you are doing. I make boxes and wrap them sometimes, so have used the tape shown.
Step 5:To use, clamp dispenser to your work bench or table.
When clamped in position, only one hand is needed to pull of the tape you need while holding your project with your other hand. When done, dispenser can be removed and stored out of the way.
