BUILD: Magnetic Knife Block
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- This build was a request from a friend, he had seen something like it commercially available, but wanted a specific color and size.
There are 1/2 neodymium magnets embedded a couple millimeters from the surface to stabilize the blades so they don't tip sideways and or move around and ding up the cutting edge on the other blades. It also keepd the knife on the wood rather than scratching up the acrylic surface. Also the knifes pictured are just what I had on hand and not the knifes this was meant for, mine happen to have a 90 degree plunge that sits nicely on the acrylic but that not always going to be the case.
The acrylic keeps fingers away from the blades and help secure the knifes in place incase the holder is jarred.
The edges of the acrylic panels where flame polished with a MAPP torch to give it a nice professional look, and the metal standoffs were just store bought from my local plastics supplier.

11/10 would buy for virtually any price. Perfect finish! You are a very skilled craftsman.
Thank you!
Never seen flame polishing before... No more wet sanding acrylic for me.
Love the design.
Thanks for the vid.
Thank you!
Very nice work!! I too was questioning the magnets until I read down the description. Ingenious way to keep everything spiffy and in good condition!!
Great video...and I learned something. I never knew how to polish the edge of cut acrylic sheets...and now I know that it's done with fire! I will definitely remember this for the next project I do that involves Plexiglas.
+StArFuRyZz you can get a bit better finish with progressive sanding but the fire is instant and still looks great so that's what I do. But learn on a practice piece and it can help to block off everything but the edge if your using thin plexi to avoid warping.
Cool project, love the trick with the plexiglass
Mike Fulton Thanks Mike!
Now now Mike Fulton, there is no need for sarcasm!! He's trying
Never seen flame polishing acrylic before, really cool tip, gonna have to look into that.
Need to use MAPP and it won't work on polycarbonate just works with acrylic, but it beats the hell out of sanding through all the grits. Thanks for watching!
I'll have to try it some time. Anything beats sanding
Inspired by this awesome vid, I attempted to make this knife block with some slight modifications and with the limited tools I have on hand. Really appreciate the attention to detail and care you took to make this beautiful knife block. Well done 👍
Really nice Ray!! I really like the flame polishing - never saw that process before.
Thanks!
Agreed! The polish technique is fire
Very nice looking finish product. Like others, I have to agree on the flame polishing. I've usually used sand paper to clean up edges and you can get them looking good, but that really gets it to a nice clear look.
Thanks! The fame polishing works great. just have to remember to use mapp gas not propane. Also this only works well on acrylic, I wouldn't even try with polycarbonate.
i liked the design, but i don't understand why you used the magnetic, the plexiglas don't hold the knives enough?
It's all in the description, thanks for watching
@@TabLeft If I could read, I would have never gone into engineering... :-)
Nicely done!
The 2 dots straight line is so satisfying! Good job btw!
thanks!
I like the way you work! Very methodical, and very accurate. Project looks good. Thank You.
That's an awesome design. I really like it. I can think of a couple of people who would love on as a gift. Thanks!
Mark Lindsay Thanks! Although the design is actually based on a commercially available product. It was a request from a friend to build one to his specs.
Still, it looks nice and clean. I really like the way it turned out.
Mark Lindsay Thanks!
Nice project, and great tip about heating up the edge of the plexiglass!
nice touch on the polishing of the acrylic dude
nicely done!
That is the most beautiful knife block I've ever seen. Though I think if you used a darker stain it would pop more
this was for a friend and the color choice was his.
Looks nice. Cool project, at the end it seems that the space between the wood and the acryl is holding the knifes and you don't really need the magnets. I could be wrong of course.
Thanks! And yes the gap is all that is needed to hold the knifes upright the magnets just keep the knife against the wood rather than the acrylic and keep them from tipping or rattling when you move the knife block. The knifes pictured aren't the real knifes intended for the knife block either, the ones show have a taper at the handle and it pulls the blade off the magnets the real knifes (there are pics on my Instagram) sit properly and the magnets work very well.
just found your page awhile really like what you do very clean and professional. really liked the torch finish on the plexi. hope to see alot more videos.
+Jeromy Montoya Thank you!
Very cool, love the flame polishing, I never knew about that. Thank you!
It looks great Ray.Great work. I really like the clean lines of your design.
Moy perez woodshop Thanks although its not really my design. It based heavily on a commercial project that a friend liked. He asked me to build one to his specs.
Cool looking!
Thanks John!
Fenomenale.idea delle calamite sublime.hai visto un bel film alla radio.
good jobs,
the way you builded is kind over kill, but that what people love it, keep it up, thanks for videos
Nothing ever broke because it was over built :) Thanks for watching!
Clever design and it turned out great.
Slowvannah Farms Thank you!
Nice project, did not know the trick with the flame to polish the cut edge. Thanks
Thank! Its a big time saver.
Wow. Wasn't expecting such I well done project. The precision was inspiring. Subscribed.
pretty nice and cool video. Short, smart and on point
um did you just measure 2 dots and then draw a perfectly straight line with no ruler? Sir please teach me how.
It's actually very easy, you use your finger as an edge guide to maintain a consistent depth. Thanks for watching =)
as long as the edge you are guiding on is straight it just takes practice
I had the same thoughts. I CAN'T draw a straight line. No matter what.
That's a beautiful job, congrats !
Thanks!
Nicely done man!
Thanks Nick!
Good job!
Very nice - had not seen the flame polishing acrylic before - tnx
Thanks! Yeah its a great way to make the edges look good (just don't do it with polycarbonate)
Yes I didn't see it before. Very cleverly. Good work
Awesomely done!
Great work. Can't find anything like this to buy. Definitely need one

great work Ray looks awesome
Thanks Patrick!
I don't understand why you put magnets at the beginning ?
Very good
Well done. Nice project.
Awesome! Great watch.
That looks amazing! Skills, you possess it ;) I might have to give that a go myself, running out of space on the magnetic blocks...
Thanks!
Wow I am impressed !
Thank you!
Uau! ficou lindo, parabéns!
Magnifique!
Thanks!
Cool project!
Thank you!
It is the Master piece!!
+NamJa Roh Thank you =)
Very nice, clean look. I'd be a bit worried that I'd scratch up the acrylic, maybe glass would prevent that, but it's obviously harder to work with. That's poplar right?
Thanks the magnets keep the knife blades off the acrylic. As for using glass it's not a bad idea and wouldn't be too hard I worked with glass quite a bit for many years and would be very doable. And yes it's poplar.
Is that poplar you're using? Whatever the wood, that turned our really awesome!
looks very cool, i would get one for myself, but... how to clean the inside if it gets dirty (i don't would open it by myself in fear of never get it back together) and where does the magnetic effect apply? the knifes seems to be holded only by gravity
The plexi is only held on with 2 screws., it's super easy to remove and clean. The magnets are just to keep the blades off the plexiglass and keep them from sliding around when the block is moved.
that is beautiful
👍👍👍
How close to the finish side did you drill those holes and do you have the specs for the magnets?
Legal parabéns.
Nice project..
Thank you!
Really Nice!
Thank you!
Beautiful looking block. One question, wouldn't the narrow gap between the perspex and the wood keep the knives secure without the magnets?
Steven Mason Thanks! You're right they would stay put without the magnets, but the magnets keep the blades off the acrylic and keeps them from tipping back and forth and rattling when the block is moved. Its just an added bit of security, but could be left out if needed.
TabLeft Workshop I like the idea of the magnets to keep the blades straight and off the acrylic. My question was not meant as a criticism, I was just wondering if the magnets were necessary. I've been looking at your other videos, love 'em. picked up a few good tips and tricks.
Cool Video! Subscribed!!
+Robert Olsson Thank you for watching!
It's beautiful, but wont the knives scar up the plexi after a while?
+Pepper Spray the magnets keep the blade against the wood
Looks beautiful! Is that just mineral oil you used?
good works man..regrands from Hellas
Hi, one question: can i use a butane torch?
Because i don't have this flame!
It looks awesome bro! I'm curious about something tho. With the arcrylic, why the magnets? Seems like one or the other would have worked, no? (the arcrylic polished edge is very cool stuff btw)
nm...I read the comments further down.
Nice!
Thanks!
Very nice! I like the acrylic. What are those fasteners called? I learned something about polishing the edge with the gas. That was neat.
Bruce A. Ulrich Thanks! They're stainless sign standoffs. I got mine form Tap Plastics but I think these are the same thing amzn.to/1e5Ml5J
TabLeft Workshop Ah, cool. Thanks for the link.
Awesome!
MassiveClock Thank you!
Good
great video keep it up!
wow eres un experto Yo soy novato
Quiero aprender muchos vídeos
i like the project but is there really any use for the magnets if u use plexiglas in the end?
yes, its all in the description
hi, can i know what size of acrylic did u use ?
How it look after 3years? No scratchs?
Thats nice, looks so much like one knifeblock i want to buy.
So did you have any "inspiration", it do look a LOT like the Tamahagane knifeblock?
Thanks and, and yes this was built for a friend based on his description of a product he saw in some store. It's not even remotely my design.
looks good but whats the point of magnet i cant see the purpose, Plexiglas is holding knifes then why you put magnets
+jayesh choudhari as stated in the description the magnets help stabilize the blade and keep the metal against the wood instead of the plexi.
Nice work. I’m going to copy your design. Where do you get the inserts / offsets for attaching the plexiglass?
What kind of pen is that with the long shaft before the tip? That looks perfect for marking areas in projects.
+maxcohen13 www.fastcap.com/estore/pc/Long-Nose-Marker-3p9959.htm
+Loren Carey Thanks!
+maxcohen13 no problem!
Hello first time watcher to your channel. What kind of marker were you using? very narrow tip one?
i am making one of this myself, could you please tell me what are the joints called which you used on the corners of the acrylic panels?
Lian Zhu they're just called "metal standoffs" if you do a google search you will find many options. Mine were purchased from "Tap plastics"
Do you have any instructions available? I love this and want to give it a try
Sorry just the video, but I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Where can I find these fastenes and what are they called?
Does the acrilyc justify, having the magnets? or the other way arroud
edgardo heffele it's all in the description
Perfeito!!!!!!
Hello. I like dhis Design. I was building too. Thanks for your Tip :-)
Won't the acrylic get scratched up from the knives? thinking of doing something similar but with real glass
+Pownyan the magnets keeps the knifes on the wood not the acrylic
Did you buy the magnets online or locally?
Very cool project! Where would one find the screws and the threaded plugs you put into the center?!
Also, you've just earned another subscriber!
+Phillip Synenberg You can find them online, just type Metal Standoff into google and it will pull up a ton of them. You may even find them at a local hardware store if you're lucky.
Hey,
What size metal standoff would I need for this type of project?
Thanks :)
Is that oil or normal varnish ? If oil what kind?
Supremos87 mineral oil
Looks great but sooner or later the knives will scratch up the plexiglass.
hi you probably get this a lot but whats the pen you use in the beginning of this video?
Haha yeah it's probably my most Common question its called a "long nose patter marker" it's sold by FastCap here's a link amzn.to/1Id15h2
AWESOME thank you for replying love all you videos and thanks for the link
+Sparky Zapper Thanks for watching!
quieres ser mi sensei por favor para aprender más
mantab bagus banget
mantab bagus banget
Looks good and great work but the knife block seams annoying to use .
happydonut84 this was a commission piece and made to the customers specs. Hes a bit of a foody and has extremely nice knives that he likes to display.
Beautiful!!!
In love with it! How much would you sell it?
Abel Oliveira thanks! This was a gift for a friend but there are similar commercially available ones just search “magnetic knife block”
What is that sharpie pen thing you use called??
Long nose pattern marker. Sold by FastCap
muchos cortes para poco detalle
How big is the space between glass and wood?
Supremos87 about 1/4" if I recall. This was made for someone else so I don't have it to reference
BTW nice work. Making similar thing for myself .. or atleast trying too. Hope I ordered magnets with correct size:)
can we use propane, would it yield the same result?
Nope! MAPP is recommended for this propane doesn't burn hot enough, if you hold there long enough for the edge to clear up the surrounding acrylic will yellow and warp
Thank you!
What size are the standoffs used? Where did you get them?
It was made for a friend so it's not here to measure but if memory serves they were 3/4" and I got them from a local plastics distributer called "Tap Plastics" they also have an online store if you wanted to order some.
+TabLeft Workshop thanks for the info, I check it out.
Can you put timestamps on your videos so that we know how long it takes to do these projects?
Tayloo sorry these aren't really tutorials, just example of how I work, and hopefully inspiration for your own projects. Plus time to build would be too fluid since everyone's tools and skill level are different. But this took only a couple hours to build.
Great build. Trying to find those standoff a but can't anyone have a link.
Got mine here www.tapplastics.com/product/plastics/picture_frames/stainless_steel_standoffs/552
+TabLeft Workshop sweet thanks
nice... but the one thing i see happening is the acrylic getting very scratched while putting and taking out the knives...
The magnets keep the blade on the wood. So far the acrylic is fine and scratch free
That's good... Looks great
+Kunal Chowdhary thanks!
what kind of wood did you use?
That was poplar.
