This was a very good DIY video. I appreciated the step-by-step descriptions and this is the best by far of any of the knife block videos I've seen on UA-cam.
I've had those drywall screws break up heaves of material from the wall. I recommend always removing some of the drywall material with a drill to avoid that. Same way as you would an would screw to keep wood from cracking.
Cheers for the video, most helpful I've seen for wooden knifeblocks thus far. I know the size of the magnets is 60x10x3 as you'd mentioned, however do you know the pull strength?
Hi Chris! Here is an affiliate link to the exact magnets I used in this video: amzn.to/2QisdX5 From the product listing, it says they have 18 lbs of holding power, with direct connection. Good luck with your project!
Funny you mention how brittle they are. Im doing a project very similar to this and its on hold while I order more because like 5 shattered in the exact way they did for you, such a pain!
Hey, do you still use this? I'd really like to make one Iike yours but I'd like to mount mine vertically. Would you be interested in doing a quick experiment to see if the magnet layout you used is strong enough to hold a knife if the block is vertical and the knives are horizontal?
@@nodnodwinkwinkV I gave this to my niece, so I don't still have it. However, as I recall it was probably not strong enough to hold knives in the position you describe. Unless the handles are extremely light… But if you have high quality knives, they likely have heavy enough handles that they won't stay out at a horizontal position. Good luck!
I used "Heavy Duty Keyhole Hangers" - I bought a pack of 50 of them off of Amazon. This is the exact product: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FMO0LA2 - Note: I am not affiliated with this product, or Amazon at all. Thanks for watching!
Beginner Woodworking skills and beginner thought processes... from picking out the area of wood most prone to bowing due to the grain pattern... to your choice in tools... choice in magnets (why not round so that you can drill holes)... to clamping (clamp a deep F-Clamp to the ends of the wood and then clamp down the clamps).... to working with a router... to using a very non-durable finish made for cutting boards. There is zero reason to use a food grade finish as you are not cutting food on your knife block. READ the can for the finish... it's made to be re-applied continuously to keep a cutting board from growing bacteria. I bet that the can also says to thin the first couple of coats first to allow it to soak into the wood... then put on a finish coat. I've been using Watco products since I was a kid... but no reason to use any oil finishes here.

Great video! I love how you seem really down to earth and just a great person overall :) Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback, and for watching!
Nice

That's a good tip - especially if you are putting in a really large anchor. Thanks for checking out this project!
Very nice project! What size magnets are you using?
60 x 10 x 3 mm. I bought them on Amazon. Thanks for watching!
How much timber was covering the magnets on the front side? Thanks
I believe I took it down to about 3mm. Get it as thin as you can, without risking popping through. Good luck!

Yeah, those things shatter *very* easily. Good luck with your project, and thanks for watching!
Definitely Neodiddly-um
Any issues with the knives cutting/knicking the pine?
Nope, the block is holding up great!
Good video
Sorry but my English don't help me to understand all.
How much wood did you leave between the magmets and the knives?
Make it as thin as you can: 3-5mm.
@@AmplifyDIY thank you
What is the mounting hardware called? How do i find them?
Hi Eric! Those mounts are called Keyhole Hangers, and you can get them here: amzn.to/2DWQ3S1
Thanks for watching!
This knife holder turned out great! But I still don't know the correct way to pronounce "neodymium".
NEE oh DIM ee əm "Neo dym ium" LOL

Hello could you please send me a link to the wall mounting hardware or give me a name

Can I get a shot out
:)
Why not just drill it out instead of route? Just set your depth guage. Jeez.
Just personal preference, I guess.
Turn off your music please, it's not needed

Strength of magnet?
Hi Buck - according to the listing on Amazon, they are able to hold up to 18lbs each: amzn.to/2QisdX5
