I made this with fresh lumber. I rarely eat out and cook alot. This knife rack functions! Fun to slap the knives on it for some reason. Thanks! Love your channel! It's super cool. :)
That's cool, I think harbour freight or princess auto in Canada sell magnetic strips in different lengths for exactly this application with tool, so plenty strong, and perhaps a bit easier to make as you only have to put a dado into the board with a table saw or router instead of multiple holes. Would also eliminate the risk here of your Forstner bit punching through the board.
Nice, would have been a great idea for Christmas presents! You could have also used Neodymium Magnets and gotten away with 1 or 2 for the smaller knives and 4 or 5 for the biggest knife ($12 on ebay fir 20 magnets). They are thinner and stronger so you wouldn't have had to get so far though the wood (allows you to use thinner pieces). Also for a kitchen project I would lean towards using a definitely food safe finish like mineral oil or salad bowl finish - though I am probably just paranoid.
+Jason Adamczyk That's a great price. I considered the rare earth magnets, but found these ceramic ones locally and wanted to try them out. The neodymium magnets would hold great though. I probably should have used an oil. I wasn't sure how this pallet was used in its previous life, so I decided to seal it with the lacquer, but I agree, that may have not been the best choice.
really dont want to be hater, making things and videos is a lot of work but: I would use neodym magnets, I would use some nice piece of wood and make the surface look really good and premium. The wood block would be at least twice thick than yours because on yours handles are practically touching the wall -> meaning its uncomfortable to get a knife or to put the knife there. Then I would buy some better knives xDDD
+wtf Yeah I know. My wife says the same thing all the time. haha. I'm always surprised at how much video I shoot when I make these tutorials. But my goal from the beginning was to give as much info as possible. I'm not a fan of the 2-3 minute "magazine" article how to's. I want mine to be beefier.
and the best thing is anytime a kid needs a big sharp knife all they have to do is take it off the board and Chase all their friends with it! SMH.. great ideal but that's about it!
Great job!
This is a great video on looks like a good project. I would think very saleable. Very good instruction, thanks.

I've seen those at a few hardware store, but never thought to sink one behind wood like this. That could be pretty cool!
Ikea sells them too... though some of them are a lot stronger than others. Even though they're the same size.

😱😱😱😱😱😵😵😵😵😵😍😍😍😍😍LOVE IT!!!! Thanks you for sharing!!
Awesome!
Thanks! I use this thing every day and it still works great.
Hi,
For the magnets, both side doesn't matter like which side you put in N or S?
Is that your kids knife set?

Can I use a forcner bit on a handheld drill?
Should be possible. Make sure the holes dont overlap and wiggle it from left to right while drilling.
16 minutes just to make a knife rack. Jesus. Show dont tell (too much).

+MrDiyDork hey man I didnt mean to sound rude. I actually like your channel. I was just shocked at 16 mins. anyway heh. :))

You do realize that for a small kid it's usually easier to get the knife out of a drawer?
