Make a Magnetic Knife Holder 3 Different Ways

Рет қаралды 191,176

Күн бұрын

With our slowly progressing kitchen remodel came a need for a new place to store our collection of nice chef’s knives. I made two for us, and another for my brother. Rather than doing repetitive work, I decided to use this as an opportunity to challenge myself and make them in three different ways using three different tools.

As an experienced woodworker of (too) many years, I have to say that this was one of the best woodworking videos I’ve seen on YT. By this, I mean, clarity, simplicity and standard of work. Showing the 3 different ways is excellent. To me, none of it was new but that allows me to say that I would have no issue with anything shown. So many YT clips make me cringe - but this had me smiling with approval. Good job

Great video. I actually did the same thing in my house using the x-carve and the magnetic tool holders that you can get from harbor freight for a few bucks - which might be a good budget option over the bar magnets you posted. Also, just FYI - you can move the tabs independently in easel just by clicking and dragging so that you don't have any tabs on the sides that don't need them (though maybe you just kept them in case other people were using larger pieces).

Ha ha haaa!! I'm so stupid! I was just about to make a magnetic knife holder myself but since I did not have all the material at home I had a look at KZfaq. Thank God! The mounting solution in the video is of course the way to do it! So elegant! The thickness of the material leaving room for the thicker knife handles - of course I shall use material that thick. Excellent video! On KZfaq there is always someone who has figured things out, thought them through. I must remind myself not to do ANYTHING without consulting KZfaq!!! Thanks for a great video even though it made me look a bit daft in my own eyes for not thinking of the obvious (when you see it) smart details.

We have both a very big CNC 4 x 8 feet, but your second method on the router table seems so much easier,,, we will start with the router. table. We manufacture items in South America for the USA and Europe market, you saved me from buying different magnet knife holders to take them apart, way too simple, thank you again for sharing.

@kellyvcraig 4 жыл бұрын

FINALLY. At least in part. I see so many of these with all the work using the router (pin, table or jig) to bury the magnets a fraction of an inch from the knife, but so many do not have the equipment to pull it off. I figure a piece of thin veneer over two pieces of wood, with end spacers cut to the dimensions of the magnets, would be much easier that most methods, and would put the minimum of wood between the knives and magnets, increasing their holding power.

@dirtyketchup 3 жыл бұрын

I love this design! Especially since you don't have any ugly mounting holes in the front. I'm curious, I bought me some 60mm x 10mm x 5mm N45 magnets. I'm a real stickler for wanting those knives on nice and tight and straight, and I get really irritate when the weight of the handles causes them to swivel around. I was thinking of using these magnets stacked 3 high by 8 long, to make a 19" knife block from walnut. Stacking would help increase sticking power and also provide a large "zone." I'm just curious if you think this would be too powerful. Maybe stack them just 2 high?

@robertmckee2891 3 жыл бұрын

Wow, this was a helpful video (I can tell gunflint designs knows his stuff). So, LOL I’m looking for advice; I’m thinking of making mine from bare cedar (no finish), in hopes that if a knife is not completely dry the cedar will wick moisture away. And I’m also wondering how much wood thickness to leave for the magnets? Cedar is not particularly strong, but I’m thinking 1/8” or 3/16’s should be thick enough. Although I’m torn between using tung oil to get some grain pop.

I wonder, though, since iron diverts the magnetic lines, could that approach negatively impact the pull of the magnets?

@Ldall87 Жыл бұрын

Great video! Do you think it would be possible to just use a drill press and forstner bit to drill out holes from the backside leaving 1/8” of wood on the front. Then glueing and dropping the magnets in so that it is one solid block without a glued 1/8” piece on the front.

What, you own all those tools and not mortising bit for the drill press? Great project and I can see several variants on this for holding other items. I would avoid using magnets to hold tools, however. Running a piece of steel through a magnetic field over and over, like you would over time with a tool, will lightly magnetize the steel. Magnetized tools can cause damage to electronics if they are used when working with them. If you don't do that sort of work, you can make your screwdrivers hold steel screws for you on the tip. I have seen several shops that used French cleats for wall storage of tools and that seems to be a better method than pegboard, which gets holes punched through it far too easily.

Awesome video! Is tung oil a good way to finish off, or os poly more waterproof?

@robertmckee2891 3 жыл бұрын

Tung oil has green used historically for waterproofing (but modern coatings are better at waterproofing specifically).. But tung oil is a great choice in this case, because pure tung oil (with no other additives) is safe for food contact when dry. And even though it’s not the strongest waterproofing out there. It will pop the grain & leave the wood feeling and looking more natural. Also Knives can easily end up scratching a poly finish, and tung oil absorbs into the wood and then Hardens, and leaves a flat finish (both of which will hide any knife scratches, that “will” happen). Also most people don’t put the knives on the holder wet anyway.. i’m thinking about making mine bare cedar wood, so if the knife is not completely dry, I expect the Cedarwood will wick the moisture away (where a plastic film on the wood would not dry).

Would have liked to see a version that didn't rely so much on power tools. Don't get me wrong, i like power tools, but a router plane and/or auger bits, along with a little chisel work, would have been a great alternative approach, and may even have been faster than using the CNC, if the design time is included. Plus, the sawdust is prettier with hand tools.
