I picked up some good ideas from this video. Thanks! Today those magnets are $4 each and 18 lbs pull each. That should hold a cleaver just fine.

[@glenmcarroll]

Great build.

[@traviscornett1963]

Cool method of construction for this project. Video editing could use some work though.

[@leetNightshade]

Are you putting something in front or on the back of the magnets? I see you have little disks you're putting in the hole, but in the video you don't explain it, and your blog post doesn't either.

[@vir6472]

what's a simple way to hang wood to drywall?

[@GavinConwayWoodworkBBQ]

Using you round over router bit you are going the wrong direction - should be anti-clockwise. Good tips for the build tho.

[@Gollammeister]

Could an amateur like myself make a magnetic knife rack without a workshop router etc

[@teocal51022]

Yes. Use a table saw or hand saw to cut down the holes for the magnets. There are rectangular magnets too.

[@chapolito]

Looks great. What size magnets did you use? were they strong or too strong? how much wood between the magnet and the surface?

[@mattbork5258]

Thanks! These are 1/2" x 1/2" N52 cylinders. I typically do 2 rows for a normal knife rack but offer the 3 row HD version for customers using them for cleavers or other heavy items. I eyeball the distance from the face that I route the holes but would say it's just shy of 1/16".

[@chapolito]

Thanks for the info! going to try this soon!

[@leetNightshade]

@@mattbork5258 So I googled that. The ones I found have 28 lbs of pull force in a single magnet? Doesn't that seem excessive?

[@gross978]

Do you sell or make these knife holders to sell?!?!

[@gross978]

I love the 6” to 8” depth of yours compared to the 3” of pretty much everyone else’s!

[@Hehe-oo2kj]

You used so many tools for a simple rack and then inserted 48 magnets in it just to hold knives. This seems way too excessive.

[@evilcanofdrpepper]

23 seconds in there is a horrendous noise. Taking those out or reducing it might have allowed me to keep watching.

[@littlefrog8389]

what a lot of work for what looks like a cheap pine knife rack. If you're going to all this trouble why not use a beautiful wood like walnut?

[@greatlandcraft]

for being such a critic, you should do a little research into wood species before commenting. Not all 'blond' wood is pine; this looks more like a nicely figured maple?

[@ownTer]

Geez, the looping music just kills it.....

[@916milo]

ownTer lol I’ve been humming this tune for three days now
