Workshop Note Caddy
How many times when we are in the workshop all of us need to write down a quick note, measurement or a list of things to buy and we have difficulty of finding a piece of paper or a pen/pencil to write with?
I know it happened to me quite a few times.
So when I saw this caddy in a magazine (I think it was in shopnotes) I knew that it was a must to do small project for me.
The Note Caddy is suitable for any size workshop, Garage or even for your house.

Dimensions & Matterials
Its dimensions are depending on the paper roll size you are going to use. I had a few rolls from a cash machine but they where in different lengths. That’s why you will see two pieces of paper roll hold-on on each side to mach the length of the rolls I have.
Basically made out of scrap 9mm MDF, and a piece of a dull hacksaw blade for cutting the paper, it’s an easy project to do that will also prove to be a very useful one. Doesn’t need to be fancy, just handy!
French cleat hanging system (18mm MDF) at the back helps to keep it mobile if needed.
Dimensions: This one is about 5.5” X 5.2” X 3.4”
Oh and one more thing. You know of those free IKEA give away short pencils? They are perfect for this caddy!!! ;-)
I think the SketchUp photos are sufficient enough to help you built this kind of project to your own measurements and requirements.

Many times we come into the shop and we can’t find where we last left our measuring tape, so I thought what a better place to make a tape holder than on my Note Caddy to store the measuring tape!
Two pieces of 10mm scrap wood and a 2mm metal plate fixed on the left side of the Caddy did the job for me and improved the Note Caddy design as well.
