I wanted to make a better way to store my knives and free up some counter space. a Knife block is great but can be a pain to clean. With he magnetic knife holders now I have quick and easy access and they are much easier to clean.

I’d make it backwards after figuring out how many magnets and they layout of them. Cut grooves to exactly 2x thickness of magnets, push them in, glue a 1/8” or 1/16” veneer on top. You get more material behind magnets for fasteners, and very thin material in front of them for maximum power.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 жыл бұрын

I have that on my old set but with the veneer it broke pretty quickly. I could use a thicker 16th inch veneer but that would be the same thickness as what I have here.

@@WoodByWrightHowTo my previous one is magnetic bar from harbor freight. Every time I put a knife on, that metal on metal sound was pretty bad.

I made a version of this that goes under the cabinet that is over my cutting board. Since I cook with one knife 99% of the time it's always at hand but it's out of the way when I don't need it. I used round magnets so it was easy with a brace. Since it's just the one knife it goes along the length of the wood.

@Joe___R 2 жыл бұрын

James, The magnet you linked to as the one you wish you used is not a true N52 grade magnet. It is far too weak for the size it is. Next time look at K&J Magnetics that is the site I have been buying magnets from for a while now. I make a lot of magnetic knife boards and depending on the client's needs I will use either N52 magnets that are 2"X1/2"X1/4" or 2"X1/2"X1/2" in a single row. I cut a piece off the face of the wood I am using a take it down to 1/16" and cut off a piece off each end. Then I route out a slot for the magnets and glue them flush with the face of the board. I will then use dowel and glue to reattach the end caps and glue the face back on. Since I use extremely thin Japanese saws to cut everything it makes the seams just about invisible even on highly figured woods and burls.

I made mine in oak which used about the same dimension but cut the front off at ⅛-¼ thick on the band saw. I the cut my slot in the main piece using my router for the long the magnets. I then cut a wider track on top to which I glued festool track edge rubber. I then glued them in using epoxy and glued the front to the rear followed by the rubber track. So I only have one line and holds all my kitchen tools. If you want a photo please ask for. K

Why do you saw on the left hand side of the vice so you have to reach over to catch the offcut? Wouldn't it be better on the other side?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 жыл бұрын

I usually prefer to keep the piece I am keeping in the vice. and that means to keep the line on the side I am on I saw off the left edge of the vice. also it keeps the same body mechanic of using a bench hook.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 жыл бұрын

I don't like using magnetic bars for chisels. It magnetize the chisel. And then it causes it to roll around on the bench and run into my files or other things that might be around. But that is just my personal preference.

What is that gizmo you used to cut the grooves in with? Also, you've got to be pretty strong to cut that oak free hand like that. I'm an older lady that works with wood and definitely not strong enough for that!

@WoodByWrightHowTo 9 ай бұрын

That is a Stanley 45 combination plane. Cutting the oak doesn't have as much to do with strength as it does with body mechanics. Even the hardest Australian woods don't take any more strength they just take more endurance because it takes longer.

Since you epoxied in the purpleheart, why not drive screws into that where there’s a bit more meat for the screw to hold onto?

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 жыл бұрын

That space is actually a little smaller. And because it is going across the grain, they would split almost instantly. Those are only a quarter inch thick. The middle piece may be thinner, but the grain is going lengthwise so if it splits it's not a problem.

@@pinkerbot wood might be better but they aren't antibacterial. Maybe they have some kind of coating from the factory that is resistant but all such coatings break down over time and cleanings. If you look at fire retardant materials such as NOMEX coveralls used in industrial applications, after so many washings, and it isn't many, the FR coating is negated and the clothing just becomes uncomfortable to wear but provides minimal protection.

I strongly recommend mounting these under the upper cabinets. Having a wall of sharp, naked blades is a recipe for disaster. Putting them under the cabinet means that the handle will always be what you grab, it eliminates the possibility of accidentally leaning up against a blade, and forces a single row of knives per section.

@hubrigant 2 жыл бұрын

The single row bit is important so you don't stab yourself when grabbing a knife on a higher level.

@WoodByWrightHowTo 2 жыл бұрын

I had that in her last house and I really didn't like it because they kept getting hit and knocked down. Having them on the side of the cabinet means that there's less moving around up there unless it's going to knock them off. So far I really liked it because you can actually see what you're grabbing every time.
