Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Kraft Paper Dispenser!
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 12. 2022
- On his recent travels, Adam encountered something he didn't know existed but needs for his shop: a compact kraft paper dispenser for 12-inch rolls! As soon as he saw it, Adam knew he had to replicate one for the cave, and actually builds a second as a gift for his partner. Along with a carrying handle to make it portalbe, it's the perfect holiday present if you wanted to make one yourself!

I absolutely love, love, love hanging out with you, Adam, even if its just virtually. You always remind me of some of the best people I've ever worked with, and learned from.
A spring would add just a little bit of tension to give an even cleaner cut.
I would have made the base wider to prevent tipping and added a tape dispenser. And bees waxed the wood dowel to make it easier to insert. If you painted it you could do you magic aging process and make it look old. Also you could then paint "Savage Ind." on it in old script to further enhance it.
✌
Shop Infrastructure episodes are without a doubt the best content Adam puts out.
Really overhyping 'shop organisation" here, lol
@@smashyrashy while I admire Adam's skill in everything he does, most of the world isn't prop makers or artists. The shop infrastructure builds apply to everyone who's a little handy.
They are also my favorite and help me get motivated and inspired to work in my own shop. 😊
These and his tool favorites are my favorites! I was surprised when he pulled out twisting pliers or safety wire pliers I used them for years, but not many people know about them. I hope he does tool favorite for the polisher he used on restoring his Nagra recorder.
They're great but I still think the Hellboy Samaritan build is the best thing he's done on this channel
Respect to the person responsible for closed captioning, I love how they captured and described every possible ambient sound with the perfect adjective.
Adam, if you add a masking tape holder just above at the end of the paper you can then have masking tape added to the side of the paper as you pull it out
The blade will be too high when the roll is almost empty and it’ll need a spring to hold the bar against the paper. The base should be wider than 5” for stability.
I have a feeling he may find himself wishing for that spring when the roll gets lower as well. Less force on the roll from the weight of the bar.
@@chadmontgomery8155 My exact thoughts as well! I was surprised he didn't consider the empty roll when figuring out the right height of the blade and tension of the blade on the roll.
If by 'wider' you mean deeper, I agree. I don't see a point in having it narrower than the depth of a full roll of paper.
@@curtisbme Yeah, “wider” than 5”. Obviously..
Was about to make the same comment.
never expected someone else to feel like this about craft paper dispenser, there is a similar one in a store next to my house and i love it
Just need a cast iron string ball cage!
I just absolutely LOVE Adam’s energy when he accomplishes any task during any of his projects. The little “excited giggles” and the little bursts of excitement. I actually find myself coming back to this channel every time I get frustrated with a current project I’m working on, and let me tell you, these videos ALWAYS motivate me to continue.
PLEASE keep being a light in our world, Adam, it means more than you know!!
We need more people like Adam in the world, his excitement at what most people would say is mundane is contagious.......Im useless at building and organising stuff but after watching his videos I always go out and reorganise my photography studio and try to make things to hold stuff.
I'm looking forward to the ODB of the tool rack rebuild for this thing with every tool that could ever be associated with craft paper ever, including twelve different kinds of scissors and eight kinds of tape that also need their own custom dispenser. 😉
Coming soon lol
Coming soon lol
The original one was probably a wrapping paper stand from some kind of store. When department stores regularly wrapped gifts as a service they would have huge rolls of paper and one of those at the end of the wrapping table. A friend had a newer style one and the 20 year family wrapping paper roll to go with it.
Every shop in Brazil used to have one of those dispensers. Sometimes they would hold up to three different sizes of paper. My uncle used to run a pharmacy and I clearly remember one of these (quite old) in his shop. The base is usually bigger (wider and deeper) than the top, for extra stability.
I love the sounds of the wooden slabs "clunking" together as Adam measures them before drilling the center hole.
Kraft paper is magical stuff. Traditional pyrotechnics artists use it in a papier-mache fashion to fabricate round shells. Also, rockets are rolled around a mandrel from kraft paper. I used to use a fair amount of it myself back when I ran a small pyrotechnics lab at my farm. I never had a dispenser like that. Just lovely.
Have you ever built a 16" diameter shell?
@@kevinthomas895 Way beyond my skill level, and too expensive to fill, and I'd have nowhere to shoot it.
This feels so chaotic but definitely an Adam vibe...reminds me a bit of whenever my dad makes stuff in the garage
Adam’s one day builds literally give me energy.
I cannot wait for more ODB and shop infrastructure work, my shop needs some TLC too.
I'm glad to know I'm not the only lunatic that enjoys a good old craft paper and string wrapped present.
To be honest the people behind the scenes from the editing, uploading and it felt like you never left awesome to hear that stuff seems like you had a fun time ❤😊
Adam, After you showed the picture of the dispenser you saw in that store my thought was that if the cutting bar was heavy enough you wouldn't need springs and you proved me right. :) Nice little one day build.
Wow, I remember using a Kraft paper dispenser at a job DECADES ago. We used it to cover the workbench. I bet McMaster still carries them . . .
I've just bought a house where I have space to dedicate an area of the garage to build my first workshop. I just recently told my wife that it would be nice to have some sort of paper dispenser. Now I have the perfect reference material.
Thank you for all your amazing one day builds, Adam! My workshop will be heavily influenced by your philosophy.
if it's part of your build, a french cleat system is very handy, and if you build from plywood, a dispencer for paper like this is crazy simple
35:32 - we all need a moment like that in our day.
You need a spring though, when the roll gets thinner, gravity won't press the knife against the paper anymore ;)
Agreed.
I know what u mean but with the weight and low tensile strength of the paper he’s prob still ok, especially with the arched arms that apply more pressure
I liked how you corrected yourself at 9:15, by saying "and" - I avoid the word "but" too. Bravo sir. "Yet" is another good substitute
i love the versatility of craft paper. its amazing. and craft paper wrapped gifts... such a beautiful look.
The best thing about these videos is that he has a similar shop vibe and brain that my dad had and is nonchalant in the fumbles of material, shameless of nuanced monologs and is best of all, just a guy who likes building things.
That sortimo balancing on a stool, lots of screw thingies, so close every time :)
Yeah, recipe for disaster for me!
That's just Adam setting up possible future content. "Re-sorting my screw Sortimos"
@@harbl99 He's been there, and done that! 🤣

I know that craft paper will last a long time so you won't be changing it too often, but an anilox holder springs to mind. The shaft would sit in a u shaped holder either side, rather than passing through a hole. You can lift the roll with shaft inplace to remove it from the machine, move the shaft to a fresh/different roll with it on the desk and then lift it up and drop the new roll into place (Or store multiple rolls of different papers on shafts and swap between them very quickly). One last suggestion would be if you key the shaft to the roll you could add a handle and rotate it to expose the end again after you've made a cut.
I thought of the same idea!. Also thought of having a flip up holder on the end of his work bench, and having it be movable from his stand to the bench would be handy for sure. I'd also have the roll slide into the slot and load from the back so he doesn't hit the cutting edge piece when reloading a roll into it.
Brown a paper packages tied up in string, these are a few of our favorite things!
What I need is Adam Savage changing a bandsaw blade ASMR
Shop infrastructure has transformed the shop so much. I wouldn't call it soulless at the start... but it wasn't warm, it was cold. Now it's not only warm, but also it exists as its own self. I've been tinkering with the idea to make a miniature of the shop, when time permits.
the shop situation is one thing, but I'm just wondering how he doesn't go nuts with so many jank unstable work surfaces everywhere, like every storage solution he makes, and that anvil
Looks great the only thing I'd do differently is round the corners of the cut off blade so you can't accidentally cut yourself if you hit it. 👍👍
I was just watching an "Ask Adam" video about 20 minutes ago about what tools he would recommend when building/equipping a new maker space and the first thing that was mentioned was craft paper. Came back to CZcams after a short break and I saw that he just released this video. 🙂
I started last year wrapping gifts in the packing paper you get in Amazon packages (which is probably the same paper), and twine, very rustic, I love it.
Cool design! Although, if I would give one critique of the design of this, it would be that it appears a bit too top-heavy. In day-to-day use, if Adam gets a little too eager, it may tend to fall over, or wobble annoyingly. Making the base a little wider, front-to-back, or heavier, would likely solve this issue.
Agreed. Also, as the paper is used up, the total mass (and inertia) of the whole contraption decreases, a yank on the paper is more and more likely to overcome that inertia and pull it over. Also, as the paper depletes, the angle of the cutting bar decreases and thus applies less and less weight and is more likely to just be flipped up with a yank instead of staying still and cutting. Eventually, i fear, as one of them uses up mostly all the paper, there will be a rebuild with a larger base and springs anyway.
My idea was some "outriggers" like a double ended doorstop with the center on the bottom notched out to fit the base. Easily screw or glue two on the top of the base board and bam more stability but not too much space taken. Bonus points for room inbetween them you can fill with weights on top middle area as well. Not too much complexity/ugly factor and still well clear of the roll.
Thought the addition of weights on the bottom would help or heavy duty magnets so if you sat it on a metal table it would hold its weight. Awesome tool however!
The bottom atleast as wide as a full roll of paper.
I think you still need the spring when the paper roll gets smaller.
I just gave a gift today wrapped in kraft paper. Most of the wrapping paper we have is either for Christmas or children's birthdays, so that was the most appropriate thing I had for an adult birthday present.
When I learned cabinet making, in both school and in the real world, we almost never did any layout or drew any lines on the wood. It was at most numerical reminders or little dashes indicating wood grain, and of course cross hatching off the part that is to be removed. It was all about setting up your machine and trusting your setup. We were also taught to use a scrap piece to be sure of your setup. It wasn't until I started watching youtube that I saw everybody drawing lines using those little holes in rulers. (I still don't trust them, especially the overseas knockoff rulers) I guess one reason is those lines always seem to show up after finishing has been applied. Love the shop vids!!! Jim
I think you should mount the cutter bar further back. That way when the paper roll is getting smaller, you will still have adequate leverage on the blade.
I lived in Oregon for 20 years, mostly in Eugene! So happy you've experienced it!!
Just a tip. When you tear a piece of paper and the cut stays too close to the blade, instead of trying to push it past the blade, just roll it backwards, and you'll get a whole turn of the roll to pull from.
love the people who would do it this way or that way NOT , i was taught that if you cant say anything nice say nothing at all , Adam it is brilliant so so good i love it .
My granddad ran a general store in a small outport village called Happy Adventure in Newfoundland. In those days other than canned goods most food dry goods came in sacks and barrels so a lot of things needed to be packaged -in "brown" paper dispensed from an item very similar to yours however the sides on granddad's dispenser were decorative wrought iron, with a wood top piece and the wrought iron sides were screwed to the counter top. Thanks for the memory.
I was going to build one as suggested, but I didn't have any craft paper, or Baltic birch ply, or aluminum bar, or a shop or a loved one.😁
Same tbh
There are many people out there who would envy your situation! 🤔
Since lockdown I enjoy nothing more than watching Adam smash the crap out of everything on a one day build! Legend!
I absolutely appreciate the way you "back-off" your builds in order to incorporate tools that the average person has access to.
I, like so many others, simply love ODB:s. I'm living my crafting life through Adam. But I was really surprised about this build. This paper dispenser is everywere in Sweden. I think almost every store has at least one below the counter. And for the holliday seasons the bring out one with christmas paper for the customers too!
This is a great project, and it turned out really nice. If anyone wants to get one of these but doesn't want to build it, it's basically a butcher paper dispenser. The one in the picture is an antique version, and newer versions lack the aesthetics of the antique models, but if you search for them, you can probably find them. The only thing is that butcher paper often comes in rolls with a smaller diameter, so you have to be careful about which size roll you purchase or which size butcher paper dispenser you get. You can get them from butcher supply shops or various stores online.
Hey Adam I really appreciate your videos, you're really inspirational.
Once again we have a housing that holds our material and has functionality to optimize first order retrieveability. Good job @Adam Savage's Tested for keeping the continuity 👍📸.
If you like Clickspring, you will love Inheritance Machining. There are sequences where he is drawing schematics of the parts he will make. Those are so satisfying to watch.
We will check it out! Subbed!
I remember using one like this for wrapping flowers at a job of mine, but it didn't have a spring attachment. Very lovely design, portability is key!
It's probably the angle, but is the blade to high? It kind of looks like the it won't be able to reach the center portion of the roll.
Was thinking the exact same thing.
Yeah I'd like to see how well it works when he's used more than half the roll
I was thinking it was a little high but I think it should be a little bit above the halfway point like you can see in his reference picture. I am concerned about how it'll work when he gets to less than a quarter spool without a spring tensioner. Although he may get around all of this by shifting his top mounts back a few inches so the weight of the blade should work the same throughout the use of the spool. I think. I hope he'll update us on it as it gets used.
Also looks like he'll need the spring on the arm as the arm rotates downward. The angle of the pull against the blade will be totally different than the full roll blade position
I, too had the same thought about the blade. Too high? Also hard to tell from the video, but is the length of the blade too long to fall between the supports?
In my rural community, these types of beauties are still part of our culture.
The audio on this channel is 10x better than other youtube subscriptions I follow. Just wanted to let ya know!
Appreciate that, thank you!
Just realised, what O.D.B. actually stands for. Makes a lot more sense now! 😅But in all seriousness, you guys at Tested are always a great inspiration. Thank you! Keep it up. Happy holidays.
I used a similar dispenser for over 30 yrs.,mine was for a 36inch wide roll. Loved it!
Carl and Cora are so sweet, and their shop is amazing and so well curated!
Dear Adam,
I know this design for about one meter wide rolls when they'd appear en-masse in shopping malls around Christmas. People pack presents with them, but indeed, this old design is a classic.
We want 14 more years myth busters make episodes with you and Jamie enjoy watching you're content very educational
Awesome! In need of a craft paper dispenser myself (this one wall mounted, mostly for photo backdrops)... so I have been looking for some ideas. So the timing couldn't have been more perfect. Thanks Adam! Happy holidays to you and yours.
I do appreciate Adam using the most simple common tools possible.
I am surprised that you did not make them adjustable to accommodate the larger (18") rolls. Possibly with a spring block or such. Nice build
The skill level you have is truly awe-inspiring, Adam! You were also my favourite of the MythBusters with how exuberant you are whenever you build things! I think we’d all love to see you do more model builds in the future. Keep up the amazing work!
Shop infrastructure improvements always spark joy!!
I especially love how you turn it upside down to work on the "top" when it is reversible on all 3 axis.
Props to the editor to the smooth audio transition from using the router to the router winding down perfectly synced to Adam finishing!!!
I have watched tested almost since the beginning and I have to say my skills have grown along with Adams its almost like tested is my little shop buddy... we have been through alot together lol
This is a simple but lovely build! A couple of things that I would have added would be to round off the ends of the rods a bit more so they would be easier to slide into the holes, and the other thing would be to use or make cotter pins instead of bolts and nuts to hold the rods in place that way it would be faster to change rolls. 😁
I see a future challenge with your design. As the roll diminishes the entire contraption will be really light weight. The one pictured had metal legs giving it the weight needed. I think if you made the bases out of metal you'd be good to go.
omg, those holders were EVERYWHERE when I was a child! I remember my neighborhood bakery had a really similar one, lovely Italian couple! I'm nostalgic now 🥲
Simple and practical build. Looks Great Adam!
I would make the blade part easy detachable from the bearings (using metal horizontal tension ) so that you can remove it if needed (it could bother you when you change the bobbin).
For example by attaching Г ends of the bracket from the inner side of the bearings and fix them outside with some nut or a cap just in case. ⫏- || ⫎ ⫍ || -⫐
So you squeeze the sides of the bracket insert into bearings and release, screw the caps.
Shoutout to the editor(s): Great cuts and rhythm thrown in to these edits - Really is the cherry on top. Well done.
Just love the show. Thanks Adam.
Don’t know why, but I absolutely love the sound the plywood makes at 10:06.
🙂
Same! Has me wondering what a plywood xylophone would sound like! 😂
Thank you for this! I have a huge roll of industrial printer paper that desperately needs a holder. Tons of great ideas here!
I also love the perilous ballet of Adam and the open box of fasteners perched on the stool beginning at 26:49. It had me on the edge of my seat (you should pardon the expression).
Lot of fun. A router is a woodworking milling machine too!
"Super Exotic Giant Milling Machine" callout FTW 😁
Huh. That's better than what I do which is keep a long roll sitting on its end and use a utility knife to slice off a length, usually tipping over the roll at least once
Thank you Adma again , perfect just want i needed for the office. the new paper bubble warp replacement is a total pain to cut. this may be the thing.
"OK, I think I can wrap up...." 🤣Great finish to the video
Your life seems so rich and full of happiness, it's nice to see.
I swear I've seen disspensers like that before, in an old butchers shop or in some shops that I can't quite remember the names of, maybe a florist's.
Yup, the butcher shop we frequented in Gardiner Maine around 1972 had one very like it.
Super handy I just restored an old one I picked up in market place for my CZcams channel. I use it every time Im the workshop ❤👍🏻 Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Very cool! I was sure the aluminum Bar wouldn't be heavy enough. I was silently screaming: USE STAINLESS! USE STAINLESS! USE STAINLESS! Or 1/2" Aluminum. great project.
What a good feeling it is to install a new band saw blade and make a first cut.
Love the build Adam. My only concern is without a spring, will the blade be as effective as the roll reaches the end of its life?
Here in the Netherlands, you can still find plenty of these dispensers. They're everywhere.....
I always love watching you work. Its this wonderful mixture of nerding out, entertainment, and intricate craftsmanship that i so love! Keep up the great work!
Whomever needs to clean out that space when that time arrives is going to have one heck of a task!
My parents have one that looks close to what you made, that they use for paper towels. Originally it was used for wrapping paper in a department store.
Neatorriffic! I've had a commercial Kraft paper dispenser on my wall for years, but seeing yours, I NEED to make a stand for it so I can bring it to my main work room when needed!
18:33 - Did, did you hit that parallel? my heart skipped a beat when I saw that plunge cut! Fantastic show, been a fan since the debut of Mythbusters - Cheers!
"That probably wasn't important" - the maker's motto!
I love the self consultation when getting the project step right.
I haven't seen one like that either, but it makes sense... I think perhaps the spring would put pressure on the craft paper when ripping it so it might have a cleaner edge... I think the build overall is great.
Great, and thank you for sharing your build. I have a shop being built in 3 weeks, and I will be building one of these as well. I have already made a pair of flex work lights out of loc-line for my work bench. Can't wait to make more when shop is done.
To the mill sounded in my head like to the Batcave!
I love how right before Adam signed off, he made a perhaps unintentional pun, saying "Okay, I think I can 'wrap' up"
I've always just torn it off on the edge of my workbench, but now I'm going to have to make one of these and mount it on the wall. Thanks for the new project, Adam, I was down to just a few dozen projects.
Nice. We used to have a similar dispenser that we used for gift wrap (usually the proper kraft paper based stuff) when I worked in a shop in the Noughties. It had a wooden base and top, cast iron frame, and the cutting blade was a simple serrated thing that was resting on top of the roll and moving up and down on parallel metal rails. Because the rails were parallel, it could only be lifted up if you did both sides simultaneously, which held it in place against the paper as you tore for a nice, even tear. The paper rolls could quickly be swapped out as the "broomstick" had thin steel pins at the ends that simply hooked into a narrow slow on either side.
"Tom Sachs made me love plywood " agreed a love letter to ply wood 🥰
My present wrapping material of choice already comes in a cardboard dispenser.....Aluminium foil. With 2 ready options....matte finish side or if something fancy calls for it, Shiny side out. It conforms to any shape with zero tape or string required. Ooooh fancy.
