Solid work. Most seran wrap boxes come with a serrated edge. Could be perfect for this!

Looks good 
. I'm the same way. I built a deck once and my dad said. " you could have a square dance on this".
Why not 3/4 on the back?

Use a hacksaw blade for a cutting edge.

An awesome build... But, but, but - you could have incorporated some layers to give the appearance of segmenting - just saying! 
I was thinking that too.

That shop is way too clean and organized. If I ever posted a pic of mine you guys would probably vapor-lock. 25 years of crap piled on top of other crap from my last house, stuff left over from projects (some finished, some never started), plus a water emergency or two requiring 2/3 of the basement to get tossed into my third of the basement that never got completely sorted out. I should be embarrassed.
Nice job on the tape dispenser!

I love overbuilding things. In 2006 I built a 9x12 "shop" in the tiny backyard of my Toyota-City (Nagoya suburb) house. No nails except for roofing, and all screws. within a month a typhoon parked over us for 4 hours before moving on. Our house had more damage than the "shop", which had 3 shingles lost. winds were steady at my math translated from metric system to be 100+mph for 4 hours.
That 4 station tape dispenser is what all dispensers should be! I hate cardboard and plastic ones. Well done.

I off red
I ordered some blades from Amazon specifically for cutting tape and they already have holes for mounting. They have not arrived yet.

Ken, Please let us know how well they work out. I have been interested in that for years. I once decided to grind a knife edge on the serrated edge of a hacksaw blade for cutting and it did not work well because my hand holding wasn't consistent. I gave up on the first iteration!
